Obsession Du Jour 5.7.09

Illamasqua!


Thank god they are expanding to the states. I was lucky to get my hands on the now sold out sirens collection and the most sought after item, the liquid metal is Solstice AND Enrapture! Let me tell you, run, do not walk to get this if you can find it! WOW, these are INSANE, beyond pigmented and literally look like liquid metal. I am blown away, see for yourself (the swatches were just a light swipe of the color, no building or layering!!).

I also got two fat pencils in Willful (a red copper) and Perverse (a silver), these are okay, not knock my socks off amazing like the liquid metal.






INSANE!

I absolutely can not wait to try these out and wear them. I adore golds and bronzes and this will be perfect for summer tans, long flowing dresses and beachy hair!
What are your thoughts? Will you be trying these out?

  3. I've barely given this brand the time of day since they've launched. I'll make a conscious effort to spend more than 2 mins browsing at the counter next time I'm in Selfridges.
