We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

I picked up a couple of blushes, one was a LE item and my definitely my favourite of the pair, back when this was released through Illamasqua.com in the UK. Strange there is only 1 blush in this release. I did not pick up the lip product so super curious as to what they are like. I love matte lips, liquid lipsticks can be so hit and miss.

the print ad looks quite tame, for those guys. maybe they think their usual looks say “Skill-Free Need Not Apply.” and they’re toning the elaboration and fantasy down for the masses. As the lippies are a new formula (?) I assume you’ll review one. Thanks for saying that Illamasqua is @ Bloomie’s. With Ulta, Sephora, Nordie’s, + Macy’s in the ‘hood, I never schlep to Bloomie’s or Barney’s anymore. But the local Big S Illamasqua section makes me reach for the pocket hand sanitizer, if not a body condom. It looks like a public germ incubator + I am not germ phobic. Bloomie’s would at least have a better controlled display for lines. And Barney’s has that lovely Troy S. Cantaloup, i believe. It looked marvelous on you. Maybe one can justify that one for a Z palette! And Lipstick Queen in-store. Worth the ride…

Love their makeup. Curious to see where they are now that I didn’t see them at Sephora, which was very disappointing. I thought maybe they were only inline at Sephor a, but I see you are showing Bloomies. These look very pretty. Their stuff has such a unique texture.

I am so disappointed Sephora stopped carrying this line. Bloomingdale’s, only carries it online.
I don’t like shopping for makeup online, as I like to see how it looks first.

I’ve never liked matte lip colors because it’s so drying but the Vitamin E makes this sound very intriguing!!! I hope you will be reviewing these Christine!!! No pressure 😉

I hope you get these to do reviews! As an Illamasqua junkie, and a matte aficionado I WANT to love it, but the lip colours aren’t peaking my interest (Was hoping for a Riri Woo red lip product!)

Hopefully if this is successful more will follow!

Ooo I love that ad. So pretty. I’m so glad you review this brand. Their displays at The Bay in Canada are a little out there and I never really stopped to look until I saw the great reviews from you, Christine. I got my first nail polish from them recently! Looking forward to your reviews. I love matte finishes!
