Illamasqua - MakeUp4All, Ladies Beauty

I am sure that now you all know that I am a big fan of Illamasqua. But did you know that their Satin Primer(£19) and Under-Eye Concealer(£12.50) were nominated for  Miracle Make-Up Awards?

I have the Satin Primer and today I will review it. I also wanted to get the Under-Eye Concealer but my shade (UC135) is out of stock right now.   And  if a certain product is out of stock this can be for a long time.

But back to Satin Primer (£19)

This is what is written about it:

An artist always prepares their canvas. Use under foundation or on its own for a smooth, even base that is protected from the elements. Containing UVA and UVB filters, Illamasqua Satin Primer lifts and highlights the face, creating a stunning dewy effect to enhance the siren within.

And now my thoughts!

I have a very dry skin and almost every foundation looks horrible on me if I don’t use a moisturizer before. But even this doesn’t give me a guarantee that I will have a flawless makeup. Now everything is different with this Primer. I have it since December and I am very happy with it. Here are only some reasons why:

• It has SPF 20 so  it protects your skin
• The skin looks healthy and feels moisturized. It gives the most amazing dewy finish which looks super sexy!
• It is easy to apply foundation and concealer.
• I don’t have a feeling of (more…)

I thought that I should take a part in Illamasqua’s Hottest Nail Colour Competition.

Althought I am a big fan of red and coral nail polish there are too many shades like that so I thought about teal, lime green or turquoise. I even wrote a post about teal already but changed my mind.

My perfect nail polish would look like this:

Lime gree but not too bright (or neon) with tiny golden shimmer in it.  I could not find a colour that looks like this but I love the colour of Mojito which is a lime green. I think this nail colour would be perfect for Spring!

I would love to see this colour on my nails

I was happy to get this information several days ago and I hope to find out more details about the new collection The Body Electrics soon!

More Illamasqua reviews! This time it is lipstick! I am sure that now you all know that coral is the hottest colours this season. I already made a lip swatch of one of my favourite coral lipsticks and you can check it out here. That shade is a coral with orange tones and if you are looking for coral with pink tones – Illamasqua’s Over is a perfect shade for you to get!

So what is written about the liptick at the website?

Let your lips speak volumes. Indulge in colour-intense lipstick with a highly pigmented formula, available in a choice of flawless finishes, from matt to glossy. Illamasqua Lipstick glides on smoothly, for the perfect all-night pout.

Over is a bright coral pink with matt finish

I am sorry for the fingerprints

And this is how the lipstick looks like on the light skin

Every time when I think that I can’t love Illamasqua even more I understand that I am wrong! Look at this set! OMG!  No pink flowers, hearts, roses and bears only sexy black with the hot red!  Do I have to say that this MUST be mine!  I can’t see it on-line yet but it should be any day now!
