you ever notice how she only gets really excited when she's doing reviews on makeup from companies that send her freebies but for the makeup she buys she's less than excited.. even if they're really good quality.. and even better quality than the companies that send her stuff ::cough:: coastal scents ::cough::

mm... let's think here... $20 for 88 colors that are nice for someone who wants a lot of colors. Or $20 for one shadow that has OK payoff... Illamasqua has some great shadows, but some of them don't compare to other lines. I review them as I see it.

I dont know what way your swatching these colours but i own 99.9% of illamasqua shadows and pay of is amazing with or without a base.. Odd!.... hmmmmm

I have illamasque eyeshadiws, their very pigmented and they work amazingly for me. I find it strange how its working for you ._.

i really am dissapointed in the eyeshadows. the only colors i have ever seen that have had no dupes from anything i can find is MUFE #92 and #75, Nars China Blue (the best blue you can ever find!), and Carbon from MAC.

I was even more dissapointed in the liquid rich foundation, 1: how hard it was to match my yellow undertone and 2: it seperated quickly and horribly on my face. Though the pressed powder was silky and beautiful on my skin. Yet MAC just came out with their careblends powder.

I won't be running out to get this one there doesn't appear to be enough color payoff to make it worth the $20. Thank you for the honest review!

@trigforner really? i don't really see that. she seems really honest actually. it actually helps that she swatches them next to another brand like mac.

I looooove the soft, muted colors of illamasqua! They're soo different. And I absolutly adore how the brand represents different styles other than the typical 'glossy beauty' like punks. I'm not too keen on all the brights I see, I'm not really a bright person:P Lol xxxxxx
