  • Illamasqua: Once

    There are two things to be happy about: it’s Friday and Illamasqua’s new collection Once* is out today. Three new products define Once with a blusher – Naked Rose reissued from the 2012 Naked Strangers collection but there isn’t a lipstick in sight. Instead the main focus is on the eyes (always my favourite part…

  • Big fat Asian wedding

    Weddings are fun but big fat Asian weddings are something else – bold, bright and larger than life. I make no apologies for being bias here – Asian weddings blow other nuptials out of the water. Outfits are colourful and sparkly and make-up and hair is on point. This Easter I saw my friend tie the…

  • Illamasqua: Glamore nails

    Last week the latest collection from Illamasqua rolled into town. Glamore is a fusion of colour, shimmer and texture. It’s also a collection that is accessible and likeable for all – there is nothing even a wallflower would be afraid of. Three lipsticks and three nail colours complete the capsule collection. Today I am sharing…

  • Illamasqua’s Reflection Palette

    I’ve finally got round to using Illamasqua’s Reflection palette from The Sacred Hour. It’s received a lot of attention because of its fascinating silky texture. The shadows are water resistant, easy to blend and hold up really well but you need your fingers to apply it because of the formula. Brushes are no good when…

  • Rocking red with Illamasqua

    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqM-pb-Xsrs[/youtube] Illamasqua has a YouTube channel and lately it’s been featuring some fun and easy make-up tutorials courtesy of the efforts of Rose. I really enjoyed watching the Bat Woman Inspired Halloween Make-Up look, which uses the risky colour of red as the main theme. Realising the shame that I possess every product Rose uses…

  • Illamasqua: The Sacred Hour

    I’m not going to beat around the bush with this post but unless you live under a rock, you might know Illamasqua has a new collection, The Sacred Hour. It drops exclusively in all Selfridges stores across the country tomorrow before it’s rolled out nationwide on 19th August and *squeal*, it’s one you will be…

  • Illamasqua Generation Q

    When it comes to pushing boundaries, it’s second nature for Illamasqua. The boundary this time is the taboo of age and beauty, and Illamasqua smashes it with their new Autumn/Winter 2012 collection. There is no reason why beauty and age cannot go together yet it’s an area dictated by the rules and only granted if…

  • Illamasqua Naked Strangers

    Exciting times! Illamasqua are releasing a small capsule collection for Summer 2012, and the good news is that it is absolutely gorgeous. Full of nudes and golds and a lovely mix between mattes and shimmers, this really is something to get excited about, especially as it feels like a breath of fresh air after the…

  • Illamasqua Demure

    It looks like a juicy pink jelly. It’s totally sheer. It costs £13. I don’t really have a lot else to say on the matter really.  And yes, I know how discoloured my nails are. Let’s move on, shall we?
