Illamasqua is all I need.
2011
Again… This blog is slowly turning into Illamasqua temple. Not that I mind :)
I went to lllamasqua store in Zagreb on monday. It was my first visit there since the opening and I was very, very excited. I made a reservation few days before because I wanted to make sure they have Galactic and Violate in stock. They were the main reason I went there but I also wanted to check out some other stuff and I checked it, alright. Maybe I should declare a personal bankrupt this very moment and get it over with.
Aaaaanyways…the store looks great, make up artist with whom I spoke was very pleasant and made suggestions based on my preferences and style. I came in for two lipglosses and left the store with three.
I fell in love with Galactic and Violate on a first sight but I already told you about that. I also told you that I was looking for a perfect dark red lipstick and that’s where the Repulse kicked in. Make up artist at Illamasqua suggested I try it on top of medium red lipstick and mix to the intensity I wanted. I got all I need so I can declare my trip to Zagreb make up successful!
But let me tell you more about my new babies. I wont be going much in the packaging/texture/overall routine, I will just sit back and let you enjoy the sh** out yourself looking at these photos :D
Violate is my new favorite lipgloss. It’s not that I would walk around with emerald lips (but you can never know…:D), I actually wanted it for layering over dark lipsticks. I imagined a dark burgundy lips with green shimmer and glow from within. That is exactly what I got with Violate. Texture is somehow strange. It is hard to apply it on its own. Although it is not sheer, it still doesnt cover equally. So, it is layering ftw.
It looks amazing over deep burgundy shades (this is Catrice 170 After work wine).
Repulse is a black gloss. That’s right. Black. But as black at it is, it’s still not opaque and it would be a disaster to wear it on it’s own. Again, layer it or mix it. I will definitely go with mixing.
I mixed it with medium red to show you what I was talking about. (lipstick I choose was not the best choice because it is pretty sheer, but fu** it.)
Galactic is something special. This lipgloss is silver shimmer, very pigmented and you need a tiny bit. It came to my mind just now I bought 3 lipglosses only for layering. Hooray.
You may consider me crazy but cosmetic items like this raise my creativity and self-confidence. I really wouldnt mind going out with green lipgloss. I would be happy if I saw another person with silver lips. It is somewhat of my personal challenge, to see how far can I go with make up (in the boundaries of a good taste) and there is no better brand than Illamasqua to help my wish to come true. I look forward to testing and endless combinations I will come up with using this trio.
And I look forward to next visit to Illamasqua. I already know what I will buy – blush in Panic and Intense lipgloss in Fierce. Both beautiful and unique. Big thanks to Illamasqua for making all my make up dreams possible. Here is my look with Violate over Catrice 170. Nevermind the surprised face – I was taking these photos in such hurry.
And you? Have you visited Illamasqua store? What do you think about my choice of lipglosses?

OMG! Koje boje!!! :ljubavnaprvipogled: :D
ovo zeleno čudo PERFEKTNO izgleda!!!
daj nabaci neki look s tim, pliz pliz
btw super si!
Ja sam sigurna da ćeš uspjeti i na poslu da nosiš zelene usne! :)
Fantastično izgledaju, i na swatchevima i na tvojim usnama, mada ja to ne bih nosila (ne samo jer ne volim sjajila) – layering (slojevito nanošenje? uvijek imam potrebu naći dobre izraze na našem jeziku, ali mi rijetko uspijeva pa se osjećam nekompetentnom!) je izvrstan!
Pa ne mogu vjerovat kako to dobro izgleda!
moj naklon :-))
da te vidim uživo sa ovim zelenim ja bi te zaustavila da te bolje promotrim….i udjelim kompliment
OMG! :DDD Ovo je predobro! Sva tri sjaja. Divno. ^^ Bas bi bila fora izaci na ulicu sa zelenim sjajem! :D
Zašto, pobogu, želim zeleno sjajilo? :D Već sam ga gledala, ali sam odustala, no tko zna… ima još vremena da se predomislim lol :D
Sreća pa sam sad dekintirana i ne smijem više ni kune potrošiti na kozmetiku ovaj mjesec ali sljedeći… :D
a gle…treba ti. :D
ne treba vise komplicirati, jednostavno ga kupis pa vise ne trebas razmisljati :D
Sorry na tipfelerima,ali tipkanje na ajfonu nije baš neka sreća ;)))
Savršeno ti stoje te lude boje ;))) ja imam nekakve flekave zube tak da nis od nečeg obojanog na ustima ;(( zato sam frik za rumenilima ;)) kupula sam njihov cream pigment androgen…presavršena rozo koraljna nijansa kremasta,ali ne praviše,ustvari moraš dosta protrljati,ali na obrazima ostavlja presavršenu nijansu…svaki put kad ga imam ekipa komentira kak mi je super rumenilo ;)) istog koristim i kao sjenilo,a može i za usta onda je pak puderasto roze boje ;)) presuper proizvod! Mislim da ću si ubosti jos i smeđi,neznam kak se zove ;) Još sam probala puder (mama si je kupila pa sam ga isprobala ;)) ali ne skin base nego onaj koji jače prekriva i savršen je, moja mama ima sad već dosta kapilarica i borica i fakat puno bolje izgleda ;))) i kupila si je rumenilo (nemrem se sjetiti imena) na preporuku vizažistice,isto neka roskasta nijansa ali j kamenu i predobro je ;))) ma sve im je super,al to već i vrapci na grani znaju ;)))
Slinim, slinim, slinim, ovaj Violate je nešto savršeno u ovoj tvojoj verziji…
Dakle, ja sam nekidan ušetala u Illamasquu sa svojim slavnim rozim obrvama i onda sam na to još dobila čisti Galactic na usne, izgledalo je prebrutalno i divno i bila sam na rubu da ga kupim, aliii, ipak sa odabrala highlighter jer mi je bio još savršeniji. :) Iako mislim da će ovaj vikend i Galactic pasti jer je to ipak nešto posebno. Općenito planiram invaziju u siječnju jer sam trenutno u bankrotu od pustih poklona za Božić.
Btw, layering bi bilo nanošenje u slojevima. Treba uvesti novu riječ – naslojavanje!
grozno zvuce te hrvatske inacice pojmova u sminkanju :D
koji si highlighter uzela?
Zapravo je kremasto rumenilo, nijansa Lies. Kad ga je donijela ona teta da mi ga stavi bila sam van sebe jer mi inače ti tonovi ne pašu, žuta sam pa mi slabo paše sve roskasto, ali na licu je fenomenalno izgledao, onaj 10 hour sleep effect.
Mene samo zanima imamo li mi uopće riječ za waterline? To mi je vječna misterija :D
nemam pojma, sve mi se cini da cu koristiti engleske rijeci i dalje :D
zaljubila sam se u Violate! *.*
Predivno! Ja imam ružna i nesimetrična usta i jako mi je žao što ne mogu nositi ovakve nijanse.
Tebi jako lijepo stoje.
Hihihi, ja već štedim. Dolazim u Zg jednom godišnje, i to za 3 tjedna – nadam se nekim sniženjima :) :) :)
Ne znam kuda ću prije: Illamasqua, Sephora, L’occitane, Inglot…
Upomooooooć :D
Mrak mrak mrak! Ne znam koja nijansa mi je bolja! Ja si nekako želim crni ruž nabaviti :)!
