MakeUp4All Magazine Summer 2010

I’ve already posted a preview of Illamasqua’s Fall/Winter 2010 collection Art of Darkness and I told you that you can already get their Precision Ink for £16.50 at the Illamasqua website.

I always love to read how Illamasqua describes their products:

“Create looks with attitude that no one can ignore. Precision Ink’s fine tip allows for defined application. Long-lasting and waterproof its perfect for use anywhere on the face and body to bring out your bold side.  Available in deepest black, Abyss, and antique gold, Alchemy, the waterproof formula dries in seconds and stays true for hours.”

These are absolutely amazing, I love everything about them!

The colours are great, one can never have to many black liners as for the gold one – it’s very beautiful and I didn’t have a similar gold liner before (what a shame). And the colours are very pigmented, beautiful rich shades.

It’s easy to apply the liner with such  applicator. Even if you are not confident with liquid liners you can still try this one.

These stay on FOREVER, I mean it! Precision Ink stays on for

I love cream blushes and I love BECCA so cream blush from BECCA is something that I do love a lot! :)

I have mine in Amaryllis which is a rich dusty pink shade.

As you can see this blush has the same design as their cream eye shadows and I like such design:  minimal and stylish.

So this is how Amaryllis looks in the pan. It may look a bit too bright but, believe me, it looks very natural after you apply and blend it.

Besides being very beautiful this product is also long- lasting and it stays on for a long time even on  dry skin.

It’s easy to use this blush and you can do it with your fingers. Also it’s not a problem to blend it, it looks as a natural blush of your cheeks.

And this is how it looks like when applied.

I think that Estee Lauder’s Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick in Nectarine is perfect shade for summer (which is almost gone) and fall as well.

It’s a beautiful warm  reddish shade of tangerine (does it make sense to you? I am not really good at describing colours) with a hint of shimmer .

It gives a full coverage and opaque. Plus doesn’t dry the lips out, EL says that it’s with Vitamins C and E plus natural moisturizers.

I also find that it stays on the lips for quite a long time. Moreover, I  love the scent of this lipstick and it really reminds me of a nectarine.

Overall, I am happy that I got this lipstick  and, although now I love matte shades, this one is a good alternative to all matte corals that I have.

By the way, I bought quite a few Estee Lauder products in winter and now I’ve finally made some photos to show you and tell  you my impression.

The price is £17.00 or $22 if you are from the US.

Swatch of the Day: GOSH Darling Lipstick

Looks like the most famous drugstore nude lipstick is GOSH Darling. Do you have it yourself? Do you want it?

Here is the swatch of  this lipstick on my hand so that you can see for yourself if that is worth all the hype. So what do you think?

Besides being pretty and wearable GOSH  Velvet Touch lipstick in 134 Darling contains SPF 6 which is a great bonus.

You can get it for € 6-7 in EU and for  £6.00 at Superdrug in the UK.  As for the US, I am not sure where you can get it. If you do know, please share with everyone!
