lllamasqua Sale Haul

I'm a bit late in posting this but I picked up a few bits in the Illamasqua post-Christmas sale. I bought two powder blushes in Lover and Tremble for £7.50 each and a lipstick in the shade Magentism for £5.00. Not a bad wee bargain!

More Illamasqua! Sale Haul

Hello my lovelies! I'm sure most of you know about Illamasquas huge summer sale, which ended on Tuesday. I already purchased a concealer and foundation earlier in July, but I made another ordered which included another concealer, and the two items I'm going to show you today, a lipstick and lipgloss!

Illamasqua Lipstick in Fetish: £5.00 (normally £15.50)
Illamasqua Sheer Lipgloss in Tantrum: £7.50 (normally £13.00)

The packaging is lovely. Some people have complained and said Illamasqua packaging is cheap plastic, but I don't think so! The lipstick comes in a sleek square black case, and the lipgloss in a see through squeezy tube with a flat applicator. I'm not sure if this will continue to be the packaging of Illamasqua glosses as on their website the Intense lipglosses have now changed to a square packaging with a brush applicator, but the Sheer glosses remain in the squeezy tube.

Tantrum is a gorgeous shimmery dark purple pink. It looks amazing in the tube and is lovely on the lips too. It is a sheer lipgloss, so doesn't apply just as dark as in the tube, but still leaves lots of colour on the lips. Its not sticky or tacky at all.

Fetish is a dark matte purple, a little darker than in the picture. Truthfully, it doesn't apply well, it can be a little patchy, the formulation is quite dry! However, with a decent lip liner underneath or a gloss on top, its beautiful.

Tantrum and Fetish are great together, and create a lovely berry lip.

I'm really pleased with my first lip products from Illamasqua. I've heard that Fetish is their most dificult to apply, so I'm not worried about purchasing another lipstick from them as the colours are amazing!

Hope you enjoyed this post! :) xx

Too Faced Mascara and Liquid Liner

Hello all!

This week, Debenhams are having an online sale, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out there were a lot of Too Faced products in the sale! I've loved Too Face for a long time, haven't tried a lot of their products, but what I do have I love, and I adore their super girly packaging!

I bought two things, firstly a favourite of mine, Too Faced Lash Injection Mascara in Black. I haven't owned this in so long, simply because I was unwilling to pay £16.50 for a mascara! But, on sale at £8.25, I was having it. Its the biggest, best mascara I've ever owned, and it makes my lashes huge! Its very volumising and plumping, and gives lashes a good bit of length too.

Secondly, I got Too Faced Metal-Eyed Liquid Liner in Plum Crazy for £7.00. I'm normally not a fan of coloured eyeliner. I'll maybe put a pop of colour on my lower lashline now and again, but something made me want to try something new, and I'm so glad I did! Crazy Plum is a beautiful bright purple metallic liner, with pink shimmer. I'll be wearing it on nights out when I'm feeling brave. I do love my black cat eye liner, but Plum Crazy is definitely a winner!

I'm pretty skint at the moment, but I've been desperate to try Illamasqua and I couldn't resist, I've purchased two blushes in Hussy and Tremble, and a nail polish in Jo'Mina. Including postage and packaging it came to £26.75, normally it would have cost me £50, so a brilliant bargain! xx
