Illamasqua you are my hero

I find that living here in Australia can screw you over in terms of product prices. Everything seems to be double the price of the rest of the world. This ranges from clothing, make-up, food, take your pick. I think it comes down to the per capita ratio (we have a small population), lack of choice (we can’t just go to another country) and taxes both importing and exporting.

However one amazing make-up brand has taken a stand and dropped the price of their products up to 50% to match the rest of the world. Illamasqua!

Illamasqua have listened to the Australian population and take things into their own hands given the Australian consumer the option to buy nice reasonably priced beauty/make-up products.

Now I already had a bit of a love affair going on with Illamasqua and I generally recommended their products to people who were looking for a new foundation or eye shadow because they are truly great products, but now I feel even more inclined to.

(Illamasqua's new collection is out now! Check it out!)

I also think this is a very smart move on Illamasqua’s part. They have the love of the Australian consumer. If I’m looking for a new make-up product I’m going to go there 1^st because of the fact that they seem like they actually care. Plus their products are amaze balls.

So if you are in the market for some make-up, stop off at Illamasqua and support them on their crusade to give a fair deal to the Australian Consumer.

Product Review: Illamasqua Neutral Palette

My next eye shadow post is of a great eye palette that I absolutely love. I know last week was supposed to be eye shadow review week, but I didn’t get a chance to post this one.

I first must confess that it isn’t actually mine, but my mums. She lent it too me while she’s on holidays and I’ve been making very good use of it.

Introducing Illamasqua’s Neutral Palette. This is a very Illamasqua neutral palette. So as well as having brown and cream, there’s black and a very striking gold. 

This palette is great. I really love it. All the colors are lovely and work great together. They are also great staples for your make-up bag as well.

The cream is a great neutral that you can use as a base. The brown is a great matte color. I tend to use this on top of the gold one to add some more depth. The gold is really lovely. It’s not just a straight gold, but has a darker smoky look to it. The black is just a great black shade. I use it as a liner as well.

All in all I would have to say that it’s a great palette to have in your make-up bag and you really can’t go wrong with Illamasqua.
