Today I want to show you  7 grey/silver/pewter eye shadows that I really like.

Some of them: Illamasqua , ArtDeco and Estee Lauder on the photo

So I will show you how those 7 shadows look swatched. This post is not really a review, just some swatches. But I already reviewed some of the products from this post and there is a link to the review if  I have one!

I’ve also tried to choose different textures: cream shadows, powder shadows and even loose pigment.

The products that I’ve chosen are:

1. Rouge Bunny Rouge Loose Glitter Pigment Fire Drops in Night Wind Sailing, iridescent metallic pewter. You can get yours  for £ 24 at zuneta.

2. ArtDeco #605 eye shadows, metallic silvery grey. You can read a detailed review here.

3. Urban Decay eye shadows  in Gunmetal, gunmetal grey with silver glitter.

4. Urban Decay eye shadows in S&M, bright metallic silver

5. Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place ShadowCreme in

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

Hi, girls! Do you remember the Illamasqua nail varnish competition? They already have 3 winners and the nail polishes will be available in Fall (2 are amazing and one I don’t like at all).

Myself, as a person who also entered  got an e-mail from the brand telling that I made it to top 50 among 6000 entries. This made me kind of excited:)

Since those nail polishes are not available yet  I’ve picked from those that already exist. I’ve picked the Alarm nail varnish( £13), which is described as “bright flame red, glossy finish.”

Applied on the nails

I posted  information about this collection a long time ago but here it is one more time:

“The Body Electrics Collection – a range of products suitable for the body inspired by the power of kinetic energy and fluidity of the body in motion. The range has been designed to ignite the skin with intensity and highlight the body’s every twist and turn to perfection. For those of you who have been salivating for details on the follow up to the cult Dystopia collection and the sexy and evocative Sirens collection we are now igniting your fervout by bringing you a collection that includes two innovative body oils that will add sheen, radiance and an oh-so-delectable shimmer to every skin tone.”

I’ve seen so many teasers that can’t wait to see more details! Any day now But before I find out more here is a little preview for you!

The item that I am very excited about is the Liquid Metal Palette which includes Liquid Metals in Surge (the new one), Solstice (gold)  Enrapture (copper) and Phenomena (silver). You can read my review and look at the swatches of Phenomena here. Although these products do crease they are too beautiful not to have them!

Today I would like to tell you about my favourite product by Illamasqua – their Cream Blusher in Rude.  What is written about:

Cream Blusher, £16.00 ($23 in the US)

Tease, hypnotise, use to effect. Highlight your cheekbones, shape your face, build and blend with fingers or a brush to create the colour intensity you desire. Use over foundation for impact, or under for a captivating glow. However you apply it, be daring.

This is how the blush looks like

So what do I like about it so much? Absolutely everything! All Illamasqua products have fabulous design.  The colour (I have Rude) is very pigmented & you’ll need just a tiny amount of it, so this blush would last you forever. It’s very easy to blend this blush and it looks amazing on all skin types. I really like how it smells . But what is the most important – the blush stays on for a very long time! And I have what to compare with.

The conclusion? This is my favourite product by Illamasqua and I would highly recommend you to try it! Check out how it looks like on the cheeks
