Review; Illamasqua Explode Sheer Lipgloss

Explode Lipgloss



This is a really nice colour! It is a pearlescent/iridescent pink though in some lights due to the iridescence it looks a little lilac. It is a creamy colour that I think would look nice on any lipstick, though I found it to go a bit patchy when worn on it's own. I think this was the nicest item out of my whole haul, I am always impressed by their glosses.

Review; Illamasqua Nubile Lipstick

Nubile lipstick

This is a lilac-pink and it does appear a little shimmery, the way it goes on reminds me of MAC Bombshell, it looks quite metallic on the lips. I have found that this lipstick felt quite matte/dry on the lips, but not as much as Liar, which will be my next to review. I actually like this on more then I thought I would as on the website it appeared more lilac, but it is definitely more pink then I thought it would be, and I much prefer it that way.

Although this is a nice and unique lipstick, and I find it so much better then Liar, I am still not 100% sold on Illamasqua lipsticks yet!

Illamasqua 50% off sale..

... It's a good job I got paid!

I didn't go totally mad, but then again a lot of what I wanted was sold out :[
