Meet Illamasqua

About a month ago, I introduced you all to a brand that I am very excited about.

Illamasqua is a UK-based cosmetics brand that prides itself on its unique color ranges and ultra-pigmented products. With an awesome tagline like "Make-up brand for your alter ego", it is no wonder I have fallen in love with everything from their vividly stunning promotional images to their amazing color ranges.

In the words of the brand itself, Illamasqua is "A night-time make-up that empowers women and men to explore their alter egos, Illamasqua encourages self-expression and champions individuality."
Envisioned by Makeup Artist superstar Alex Box, Illamasqua has its roots in everything from the gothic scene to high-fashion glamour and runway. It is a brand for those who make their own rules.

Now you all know me, and I cannot leave my obsessions alone. Upon discovering that Illamasqua now ships to the US, I quickly made it my mission to explore the brand in more depth and bring the news to my readers. Did I mention that the Summer Sirens collection was singing its sweet song to me over and over again?

Ladies and gents, I would like to introduce you to my brand new Illamasqua Collection. I will be introducing you all to each and every gorgeous item in more depth this week along with swatches and an Alter-Ego look. For now, feast your eyes on these stunning beauties. I have just gotten my goodies and already I am making my list and checking it twice, scouting the site for even more items that I simply must have! Im pleased to report that the products have cemented Illamasqua's place in my makeup-loving heart.

But I digress. For now, feast your eyes on some makeup beauty



What you see here is Eyeshadows in Imagine (blue), Yes (yellow), Tempt (pink), Powder Blush in Tweak (pinkish red), Sheer Lipgloss in Lily-Rose (sheer bright fuschia), Medium Pencil in Rowdy (pinkish brown), and Intense Lipgloss in Petulant (full coverage fuschia). From the Sirens collection, Liquid Metal in Solstice (gold), and Sheer Lipgloss in Soul (opalescent peachy pink).

I love love illamasqua but they are a bit on the expensive side. Their shadows are very pigmented and the matte ones are very matty! Very good brand...
