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.

Not at all!
Am I really the first commenter on this?? Yay! 🙂 I LOVE this color on you Christine! It’s gorgeous! I would totally wear that lipgloss. 🙂
Thanks, Jennifer 🙂
Nope. Looks icky and gooey. This kinda colour looks best to me in an opaque non-glossy lipstick. Not loving it at all.
This is amazing! im excited because Illamasqua today has launched a counter in Sydney! i think i will be getting a intense lipgloss!
retina burning, right 🙂 but i love it
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 😛
I believe the name is just ‘Follow’. 😉
It’s like a colour straight from paradise! Great!
I love it- the perfect summer colour! soooooooooo nice- gotta have it!
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.
HOLY high beam. That stopped my boss in her tracks! “WHAT ISS THAT?!”
-a lipgloss that is not office appropriate. lmao.
Looks GORGEOUS on you!
Thanks, Dianna!
I absolutely LOVE Illamasqua Intense Lipglosses! I’m wearing Besotted right now, do you have that one Christine? Follow is gorgeous on you x
Nope, I don’t! I don’t think they sell that at Sephora 🙁
i love Besotted!
GORGEOUS COLOR
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!
Oh wow! This is glossy, sassy, in-your-face color. I love it!!!
It’s gorgeous but just not for me!
It looks goopy.
I’m blind! But I love it! Wish I had it avail. near me to see in person. Looks great on you!!
WHOA. Methinks I need to get myself to Sephora… lol
This would look great over Mac’s Impassioned
looks beautiful on you!
Thank you, Norma!
Looks awesome!!! I don’t know how often I’d wear this but I like it!
Dang! I told myself I wasn’t going to buy anything this weekend and now I think I’m gonna have to! That looks gorgeous!
WOW that is gorgeous !
Their pigmentation blows me away every time. This is SUCH a pretty color.
WOW! THAT is amazing!!!!
i think i need some illamasqua intense glosses soon! 😀
I had to squint when I looked at the picture! haha
LOL! It was hard to edit it, because it was SO bright!
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
I’ll try to remember to do so!
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!)
LOVE THAT!!!!
