The Summer Season: Illamasqua Follow Intense Lipgloss

Illamasqua Follow Intense Lipgloss ($20.00 for 0.20 oz.) is a fluorescent red-pink. It’s ridiculously bright–totally retina burning, actually! It is completely opaque and ultra glossy. It’s almost like a really, really amped up watermelon pink… except red.  Sorry, I’m so blinded, I’m almost at a loss as to what to say about this!  Like other Intense Lipglosses, Follow is richly pigmented and looks opaque when applied to lips.  They’re scent- and taste-free, too, and wear well–about four to six hours in total, but the glossiness does fade around hour two.

Is this the right red for you? Would you wear it?

The Summer Season is a series of posts featuring bright, vibrant shades of coral, orange, and pink lipsticks and lipglosses — all perfect for a summer of fun — that runs through July 2010.

That is such an intense color for a lipgloss, I love it! ‘Follow Intense’ is a great chosen name for it.. That’s something you don’t see very often.
Makes me think of Snow white somehow 😛

Yeowch, that’s bright! I’m heading off to Illamasqua today to pick up a couple of things, I may not be able to resist getting one of these.

I… have no idea why I love this but I do. Ok, I do know, I have such a thing for vinyl lips, BRIGHT color and it looks really comfortable to wear!

Im soo curious about what you mean by the glossiness fades…like, what it looks like. Do you think, next time you swatch one of these, you could take a picture of it a few hours later? Thanks

Holy mother of god I think you just temporarily burned out my retinas O.o

(But it’s okay. If that gorgeous lipcolour is the last thing I see for the next while… well, I wouldn’t be too upset!)
