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 Sheer Lipgloss Electrify

Illamasqua Electrify.



This is one of my favourite baby pink glosses. It is a lovely shade, and even though this is supposed to be a sheer colour it has a lot of coverage and pigmentation. The one thing I dislike about these lipglosses is that is has no brush, just a nib with a hole in it, and because it is a squeezy tube it is hard to control the amount of product that comes out. However I guess it means you can get more product out since you don't have to depend on scooping it out of the tube with the applicator. If you squeeze it out onto a lip brush it is easier to apply, however it is a bit of a pain, especially if too much product squirts as you can't put it back into the tube!
