Recently Added: Illamasqua Cosmetics

Hey Everyone! Yesterday I added Illamasqua cosmetics into the Beauty Database. I wanted to type up a summary post last night to highlight some key features I found interesting with this collection, but I'm starting to get overwhelmed with school work!

The first item I want to talk about is something I always longed for from Illamasqua. Their Liquid Metal Cream Eye Shadows always stood out to me because they are such a rich, intense formula that swatches very opaque. Unfortunately they are one of the most expensive cream eye shadows in the database at the moment at $520/ounce despite a reasonable price tag of $26. To give you a better idea of how expensive this is, a MAC Paint Pot ($18.50) is $108.82/ounce and a Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream ($23.00) is $109.52/ ounce.

Next, Illamasqua's Eye Liner Cake ($24.00) is something that stood out to me. It is something that very little brands offer. It is essentially a pressed powder eyeliner where you wet an angle brush and creates almost a liquid liner consistency. Some comparable eyeliners are MAC Liquid Eye Liner ($18.50) at $220.24/ ounce and Urban Decay's 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner ($19.00) at  $327.59/ ounce. Therefore at $160/ ounce, Illamasqua's Eye Liner Cake is definitely not too expensive to play around with compared to liquid eye liners from similar high end brands.
