You can see my favourite lip products of 2010 here and I still really love them but I’ve decided to show you some new products that I’ve been loving this year.

Illamasqua Lipstick in Atomic

This has been my favourite lipstick of 2011 in terms of colour. It is bright fuchsia with a blue sheen.  It is very pigmented and looks amazing on the lips. It was always a pleasure wearing it. You can see lip swatch here.

Clarins Colour Quench Lip Balm and Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector

I had a big ‘Clarins moment’ this year and I’ve bought quite a few products from the brand.  Both their Colour Quench Lip Balm and Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector are brilliant products and I really love using them. Now I plan to try all Clarin’s lip products actually. Read detailed review and see swatches here.

Anna Sui Sui Lip Gloss

This is the only Anna Sui product that I have tried but I love it so much that may just call this gloss in 001 my favourite gloss of 2011! It’s feels really moisturizing and smooth on the lips and it smells of roses! Plus gives a very beautiful mirror-like effect.  I definitely  need more Anna Sui in my life! Find more here.

No7 Vital Brights Lipstick in Blooming Pink

I know that it’s

I just love reading the posts and watching videos about favourite products of the year! So, as promised, here is a list of mine.

This year I’ve decided to choose only the most favourite products! I will not post products in ‘each nomination’, just those that really stood out to me.

So here is part one – eye products.

Rouge Bunny Rouge Long Lasting Eye Shadow in Bejewelled Skylark

Definitely my favourite eye shadows of 2011!  Soft, pigmented, long-lasting, easy-to-work-with; the colour is gorgeous, I love such shades for an every day look. I found myself reaching for this product over, and over again. You can read full review with swatches here.

RBR are releasing some new shades of their eye shadows and I can’t wait to see them!

Illamasqua Pure Pigment in Berber

This pigment is one of my favourite Illamasqua products ever! I was extremely excited when it launched, the colour is really beautiful, unique, not boring but totally wearable.  Not only the colour is amazing, the quality is supreme, too.  Read more here.

Hourglass Calligraphy Liquid Eye Liner

This has to be my favourite eye liner of the year. Easy to use (even if you are a beginner), true black colour and great staying power! What else to ask for?

Dior DiorShow Extase Mascara

I think this is

This new (and first) Illamasqua unisex fragrance looks really interesting, both the promo photos and the ingredients.

Freak is a concoction of dangerously exotic unconventional flowers which Illamasqua has unashamedly blended together to celebrate the night…

Top Notes

Black Davana, Opium Flower and Belladonna bewitch senses into uncontrollable lust and passion.

 Heart Notes

Poison Hemlock, Datura and Queen of the Night blossom, caress and kiss.

 Base Notes

Aromas of frankincense, Oud, and

I was  thrilled to receive some samples from the latest Illamasqua’s collection The Theatre Of The Nameless because the brand always thinks carefully of what to put inside and I am  fascinated by the small touches.

First of all, I am very happy that everything comes in black as I am a huge fan of black and everyone who knows that can confirm.

I  also really loved the personal touch with the name (silver, love) and the seal (red, love) on the back of the envelope. Besides the envelope, there was a crimson velvety fabric which symbolized the curtains in the theatre.

I was also happy to get the new booklet as they are a joy to look at and, in my opinion, Illamasqua’s looks are worth framing and putting on the wall which I will definitely do soon. I actually do have some makeup looks on my walls by the way…

As you can see, I really like attention to  the details. But now, when we are done with them, I can tell you about the actual products.

Products that I’ve got to try are:

Masquara (£15 ) in Raven (Midnight Black), Precision Ink (£17) in Havoc (Aubergine), Lipstick ( £15.50) in Kontrol (Blue Violet) and Pure Pigment (£15.50) in Berber (Auburn Shimmer).

Dare to enter?

I always get very excited about the  new Illamasqua collections as I know that there will be amazing visuals and a great story behind it.

Here is the new A/W 2011 makeup collection which is called The Theatre Of The Nameless.

I love Illamasqua’s press releases, so I thought I would include what they have to say about this collection. And let me tell you, it is definitely not for the faint-hearted. And, yes, I had to include all the promo photos. These are stunning and provoking, very Illamasqua.

“Descend into the riotous scene of erotic adventure that is THE THEATRE OF THE NAMELESS, nocturnal den of the dissident leaders of underworld subcultures. Exotic dancers rub shoulders with expressionist actors and performers; nudists and Boot Girls openly compete for the Conférencier’s eye; and all participate in the Club’s endless, pleasure-seeking rituals, immersing themselves in a heady world of sensual delight …

Teased by the sweet, pungent tang of opium, the air throbs with the electric shock of lovers’ flesh. Dare to feel the intensity of the club’s intimate caress, and abandon yourself to the glorious wonders of unfettered night-time make-up.”

Absolutely love the one with the redhead and blonde, so wicked and fierce. I can’t take my eyes away…

“Theatre Of The Nameless is a heady mixture of opulent hues, decadent pigments and fearless application. A bruised and burnished pallet that gives a sensual slip that bleeds colour into colour, worn through and kissed off “ Alex Box, Illamasqua Creative Director.
