Illamasqua Review #3 Lipstick

Illamasqua Lipstick in Corrupt, £15.50 for 4g

 I really love lipsticks, and I really love Illamasqua, so I thought it time I purchased an Illamasqua lipstick! It was on the pricier end of the scale, being £2 more expensive than the renouned lipsticks by M.A.C., but you get 4g of product which is a gram more than M.A.C...

 I was drawn to this colour because it was a matte finish and it stood out to me from the swatches on the website. I'm not the girliest of girls, but I do LOVE the colour pink, and to me this shade, 'Corrupt', is the perfect striking, barbie pink. I have plans to try 'Resist' and 'Salacious' ASAP!

If I'm honest, it's a more fluro and deeper pink than I expected it to be, in my head it was a bright candy pink, but this is the problem with ordering online sometimes. I'm not disappointed though, the finish is lovely, and I really can't complain as it makes a nice addition to my lipstick collection! I'll be needing to buy myself a bright pink lipliner though, asap!- Why don't I already have one!!
This would look darling on all skin tones, worn with pink blush, simple & sparkly eyes and a defined brow. It also looks lovely with a gloss on top for an all out, party lip.


Do you have any Illamasqua lipsticks? What do you think of this shade?

  7. PRETTY COLOUR. Matte lipsticks look shit on me because I have dry lips :( I got this lovely nude YSL one a few weeks ago but it just makes me look stupid. Ah well. This colour suits you so well!

  10. Very jealous of your makeup collection! I'd love to be able to pull off a bright lipstick like this, to be fair I've never really tried though!

    I've lived in a pub for 10 years, I'm not a massive fan really but it has it's perks. Is it good to be back in a proper house? Love your blog by the way, it's already one of my favourites! XO
