Illamasqua Atomic Lipstick
Illamasqua Toxic Nature: Atomic Lipstick
Illamasqua Atomic Lipstick (£15.50 for 0.14 oz.) is new for spring/summer and part of the brand’s Toxic Nature collection, which should show up at Sephora in April. For now, though, it is available through Illamasqua directly. Illamasqua describes Atomic as a “fuchsia violet.” After swatching and applying, Atomic is a deep, reddened fuchsia with violet and fuchsia sheen. It has that satin finish but such a strong pull of iridescent sheen that it almost looks like a frost.
my thoughts on the formula: Illamasqua’s Lipstick formula feels a little dry when applied, but let it warm up on your lips, because it really isn’t the drying kind. It does hug the lips, though, which makes it a much longer wearing lipstick (six hours or more).

this looks AMAZING on you!
LOVE that shade on you, Christine! I wouldn’t be able to pull it off, but I’ll live through you. 😉
Well said! I agree, this shade looks really good on you Christine, really flirty 😛
gorgeous!
This shade is so absolutely beautiful! Want!!!
That’s a gorgeous shade for you, Christine! Absolutely gorgeous.
Wow! That is undeniably gorgeous. Speechless. And that’s coming from someone who hates frosty/shimmery/glittery lipsticks.
I may just have to add this to my collection of cream and matte lipsticks.
Wow, gorgeous color. I’m still hesitant on their lipsticks since my lips dry out easily, but I must check them out.
Btw, is the price listed correct? They seem to go much higher at the Sephora stores.
The price is listed in pounds!
Which skin tone would this color work best with?
Both, because it’s so bright, it should work fine on warm or cool skin tones.
The finish reminds me very much of their Underworld lipstick. I have Underworld, and it is a beautiful violet with a chrome finish, but it goes on SO unevenly! The finish of this lipstick is the same as the finish of Underworld, but it is not streaky and uneven like Underworld is. If you ever get Underworld, could you review it Christine?
My mom loves colors like that lipstick. Seeing your swatch, I will go pick one up for her ^^
Oooooh, this is a gorgeous color on your, Christine!! I’m definitely going to pick this one up!! =)
This seems a LOT like NYC’s blue rose. For a much cheaper option I highly recommend that… It is one of my favorite lipsticks and is only $2
i love this! it’s like a better version of Rocking Chick.
Love the colour! Unfortunately I am not a fan of frosty finishes.
This reminds me of Show Orchid. Would you say they’re similar?
You should wear that color EVERY freaking day.
That color is the best I have ever seen on you. Lovely
That color is so gorgeous!
This color is stunning on you!
Christine…gosh,Im jealous right now. How come every frickin shade of lip color, no matter how awful in the tube, looks great on you?! Im still waiting to see one lipcolor review/swatch that doesn’t look good on you! jk 😉
looking supperb on u…..jst too gud christien
How many products from this collection will you be posting about?
I don’t know… sorry!
Oh my god. I. NEED. THAT.
Adore Illamasqua’s matte lipsticks too, some people may find them too drying but I love the texture. So many lipsticks are so slippery these days, really hate that. MAC and Illamasqua make the best vintage matte reds!
Just lovely!!
Wow. That is just a stunning shade on you!
That is an AWESOME pink!
I’m not one to comment on lipstick reviews, but this looks GORGEOUS on you~
It looks amazing on you!
I don’t suppose you remember what’s on your cheeks in that photo – your skin looks so glowy!
Please read the post FAQ! I listed it there. Thank you!
Love It!!! Will definitely add it to my pink lipstick collection.
And CHristine Pink is definitely your color. Every pink lipstick that you swatch looks EXELLENT on you!
It looks hot on you Christine baby! Yeah!
This really looks great on you Christine, your lips look perfect!!
As I own none of the near-dupes, I have no guilt about my plans to indulge in this!
Fuchsia usually isn’t my favorite color of lipstick, but this is gorgeous! The texture, the intensity, the finish; I love everything about it!
I own NYX Chloe (which I got after reading your review and I love it) and now I’m wishing it had that sheen!
That shade is gorgeous! It’s such a perfect color on you Christine. 🙂
Loving this one. I’ll have to try and get my hands on one!
WOW! That’s a lovely metallic sheen!!! Ah, too bad most Illamasqua lip products a bit drying on me…
Love this color!
OMG! This looks incredible on you. Illamasqua is fast becoming my all-time favourite brand.
I went out and got NYX Chloe after you said it was a close dupe since Illumasqua isn’t in stores yet and it’s a bit pricey for my current budget and I LOVE IT. Thanks!
This lip looks SO GOOD on you! It looks similar to Rocking Chick from MAC.
Wow its like satin fabric on your lips its soo nice
The packaging and product remind me of NYX lipsticks
I need this!!
I’m entranced by this color on you, it is amazing. I’m broke but I’m still going to grab this!
Fab Color! I rarely wear pigmented glosses and lipsticks but fuschia is definitely a color I love wearing when it comes to lipstick.
What a beautiful color! I’ve been looking at NARS Funny Face so I may have to check this out.
