Note to self : Stop spending.
So I may or may not have made another Illamasqua haul, and today I thought I would show you what I picked up as I got so many bargains. I pretty much only ever buy from Illamasqua when they have a sale as it makes their products so much more affordable. This time I will admit I went a little crazy and picked up a lot of stuff however my order only came to just under £60 which I didn't think was too bad for so many fairly high end products.
So with further ado lets get straight into the products. After trying the sample of the Hydra veil and really loving it I decided to give the Radiance veil a go as it was down to under £10. This looks incredibly intense when it is on the face at first but once any base product goes over it, it gives the most stunning really healthy glow. I would say if you aren't one for a glowy base then this definitely isn't one for you. Also for the face I picked up another one of the cream blushes which are one of my favourite products from the brand. Rude is a stunning coral pink shade which is something I'm going to get so much wear out of this in the Summer. Finally for the face I got one of the gel colour sticks in Fluster which is a super bright pink. Due to the gel formula this works nicely on the lips and the cheeks, it also does mean it isn't quite as bright as it looks. I also find if I want it even less intense it sheers out beautifully.
Moving onto the eyes I picked up the powder shadow in the shade Vapour which is a orangey mustard shade which I thought would make an incredible transition shade for a warm smokey eye. I really like the quality of Illamasqua shadows and this one is just as high quality. The other thing I picked up for eyes was the liquid liner in the shade Wisdom which is a stunning dark gold shade, I've been really enjoying funky coloured eyeliners recently so I cannot wait to give this a go.
Finally moving onto lips I picked up four more of the lip liners, which I fell in love with after trying one in my last haul. These are really lovely and creamy. I'd say they were somewhere between the Charlotte Tilbury liners and the Mac ones. Meaning that they aren't the most comfortable but they are a little easier to use than the very creamy Charlotte Tilbury ones. These are just a really good buy and for under £5 I really can't complain. The final thing I picked up was one of the Glamore lipsticks in the shade Vampette which is a stunning deep berry colour. I actually probably picked this up at the wrong time of year but it was such a beautiful colour I couldn't resist. I really don't like the matte lipsticks from Illamasqua however these which are the satin formula are absolutely beautiful. Not too matte, not too glossy.

So that's it for today I hope you guys enjoyed this and I would love to know what your favourite thing from Illamasqua is?
I've heard so many good things about Illamasqua but the online ordering is something that has put me off for so long. The lipsticks look amazing though! Vampette looks gorgeous and there is definitely no wrong time to pick up a lipstick :) xx
