Illamasqua Sale Haul

Hello lovely people!

 I had an email from Illmasqua saying they had a sale so I couldn't help but look and buy just a couple of items, well it would be rude not too right? 

I decided to get the intense lip gloss in shade Frenzy for £5.00 instead of £16.50 and a pure pigment pot in shade zeitgeist for £7.50 instead of £16.50. The postage was free and in total I saved £20.50 

I only have a lipstick from Illamasqua so wanted to try a few more bits but didn't want to spend too much just in case I didn't like them but I'm happy to say I absolutely love these two products! 

I really like how the packaging is slim unlike some other brands tend to be very bulky with hardly any product inside. This makes them easy to store...plenty of room for more! and also light to carry around in your everyday make up bag.

I seriously can't believe how amazing this lip gloss is, the pigment is absolutely incredible and just looks gorgeous. It's velvety smooth and so creamy on the lips. I find that the gloss tends to fade but the colour stays around for around 3 to 4 hours before I then need to pop on some more, however this isn't a problem for me as I tend to always re apply even when its not needed with any lip gloss or lipstick. 

Pure Pigment - Top with primer, Bottom without.

I used this pigment to create a black smoky eye and I loved the end result. There are tiny fine bits of silver glitter among the black that give the most beautiful 'My eyes look great and I know it' look. I used a damp brush to apply this to my eyes as I found that when the brush was dry I wasn't picking up a lot of product plus it helps reduce fall out. I found that using a primer helps the product stay for longer and didn't crease at all, there is nothing worse than realising your eye shadow has creased whist on a night out...anyone else agree? 

Did you purchase anything from the Illamasqua sale?

DIORSKIN NUDE Tan Matte Transat Edition - Summer Look

My MAC highlighter had hit pan so I was in need for something new although I loved the one I had been using I wanted to try something new. I was in my local Debenhams and swatched the Diorskin nude tan transat edition and WOW I needed to get it! So I had my money ready to buy one and the lady said they didn't have any left.. as you can imagine I was absolutley gutted, so off I went to every single store that sold DIOR and I got the same answer in every single shop. This made me want this product even more! I got home and searched online and yes, I found it on FeelUnique Yippee! 

RRP £40 but then they had a £5.00 off when you spend a certain amount so I got it for £35.00

First of all the packaging for this product is beautiful, It comes with a little brush for application and a dust bag. I don't use the brush as it is dense and as the powder it's self is rather intense I think I would end up looking like a glitter ball so I use my real techniques contour brush to apply.

Swatch below is one swipe across the hand.

This gives off the most stunning highlight to the face. I have a pale complexion and I love the way it looks on me. I think this would look just as beautiful on darker skin. This isn't a product that I would use every day but that's only because of the price it's more of a special occasion face product. 

I'm so happy to finally have this in my make-up collection and would defiantly recommend this stunning product to you all! If you are like me and couldn't get hold of this in any shop then head over to feelunique but be fast!
