Illamasqua makeup review

Eyeshadow palette (similar)* / False Eye Lashes* / Lipstick* / Glitter Nail Polish* /

I'll be honest, I've never tried any product from Illamasqua before. When I heard from a PR agency in the UK and was offered a few goodies to test and try, I couldn't resist. Thus far, I've tried the eyeshadow palette, nail polish, and lipstick. I suck at applying false lashes, so I'm saving those for sometime over the holidays when I can beg a friend to help me put them on properly! As a side note, I actually received this green polish as well but forgot to photograph it (it was still downstairs on my coffee table as I had been painting my nails with it the night before).

I love the lipstick I was sent. It's a pinky red and extremely pigmented. My only suggestion to anyone looking to try an Illamasqua lipstick out is to most definitely wear it with a lip liner. They're creamy (yet matte) so you will probably experience some colour bleeding if you don't first line your lips. The polishes are fabulous, and are in your go-to Fall/Winter jewel tones. The eyeshadows aren't anything spectacular, but they're good. Personally, I prefer Urban Decay eyeshadows and a handful from MAC. I do like the colours in this particular palette, though I can't find it on the website... sorry! I've linked you to something similar in the item box above.

If you've used an Illamasqua product before, please let me know in a comment! I'm new to the brand and would love to learn some more about them. Now,  back to watching my Sunday evening lineup of TV shows. :)
