It's taken me a while to get round to it but here is my haul from IMATS. I didn't pick up as much as I thought because a lot of the stands were either out of stock of bits that I wanted or they were more expensive than I expected or I was just a little disappointed. I wasn't, however, disappointed with Illamasqua.
IMATS was my first opportunity to see the brand in real life and I literally stood at the stand and swatched nearly everything! I'm a little sad that this brand isn't available were I live but I'm thinking that my wallet is!
Any ways, after much deliberating, here's what I picked up:
This is Resist lipstick. It has actually photographed a lot pinker than it is in real life. In person it looks a lot darker and more plummy.
The colour itself is matte and a deep rose pink. Despite it being matte I don't find it drying at all.
This is the illuminator in Fondle, sorry the picture is out of focus :( It's a beautiful hot pink with gold shimmers.
On my skin it blends in to give a gorgeous pinky golden sheen.
This is the powder blush in Hussy. It is a bright, matte, candy pink with red.
This is the powder blush in Unrequited. It is also matte and is a soft baby pink.
These are the colours swatched, a little heavy though, I wouldn't layer them on my cheeks this bright! Both colours are super pigmented, soft, blendable and really smooth.
I'm really loving these products and would love to try Disobey Blush and two of the cream blushes in Laid and Sob but that will have to wait until I go to London and have an opportunity to look at the counter in Selfridges :)

@SilhouetteScreams: It's lovely, really smooth too. Reminds me of a pink version of Nars Orgasm in a way :)
ReplyDelete@Noobarella: I was so impressed by all the products, can't wait to try more :)
@Lillian Funny Face: I think my next love affair will be with Illamasqua :)
@desiiGirl87: I only have another couple of matte lipsticks and I find them a touch drying. The Illamasqua formula is a lot more moisturising and the colours is surprisingly easy to wear :D
