Sigh. I MUST look up that contest, now! I really think I have a lot more to learn before I’m at a level I’ll be happy with, with makeup.

Plus, I just tried Illamasqua Conquer pigment, and I LOVE it. I REALLY want to play with Alluvium.

I love how the three are looking, but I would try the Resolute liquid metal first, because I don’t owe any liquid metal and I’m wondering a lot about it !

I would most definitely use the pigment first because judging by the picture, it is an absolutely goregous color and i’ve never owned a pigment before so i’m eager to try one out. I would then want to try the nail polish because I’ve really been into painting my nails lately and i’m sure its wonderful as well 🙂

The ether powdered metal I think i’d have alot of fun with that. Man this brand has the most beautiful makeup i love it its a shame i’d have to get everything online from them.

I’d use the pigment, first. It is such an interesting mix, I’d love to see how it works with different bases. Not to mention, it’d be the envy of all my friends here in Kansas. MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

Viridian! So delicious, and then I’d only have to get Scarab <3 (although I'm totally drooling over Resolute – a red creme eyeshadow? Yes please!)

I would use the Resolute Liquid Metal first.. I really loved the liquid metal swatch.. but Illamasqua is not available in Canadian sephora!

Alice Avatar

I would have said Alluvium pigment because it’s a beautiful dark blue, but then I saw the swatch of Viridian Nail Lacquer on their site and it’s a gorgeous green color!! I’d definitely try that first!

I would definitely use the pigment first. The color is amazing and the payoff is great! Just wish there was more in that little container….

There is absolutely no doubt – it would have to be the alluvium pigment. I am a huge fan of pigments and the endless possiblities in playing with the texture….

I would totally use resolute liquid metal because I love the way it intensifies my look when I do a smokey eye in red. I use this product and thier 4-Colour Liquid Metal Palette , the gold color and its beautiful.. Thanks temptalia ur always doing something to help us mua beginners.. ur the best

Resolute liquid metal because i have been wanting to purchase it for a while but haven’t had the guts to do it!! I’m more of a neutral person but i really want to get into color.

Since the holidays are coming up, I’d opt for the Resolute Liquid Metal first, since it would make a great base for cranberry and gold shadows.

Oh wow! Awesome stuff!
I would probably be all over everything,
but since I love nail polish,
I just might start with the gorgeous Viridian!
Thanks 🙂

I think the nail polish because one day I was looking at your blog, and the post was the Illamasqua nail polish, and my husband walked by and said, “nice nail polish, you should get that one.” so he really liked it, so I think I should try that one out :).

I would defiantly use the Alluvium pigment first. Mainly because of the colour, it is my favourite and I love creating dark/midnight looks.

I really want to try the Alluvium Pigment!! It looks gorgeous, I’ve always wanted to try one of their products too! This would be a good start 🙂 (do I re-post this on facebook? Lol?)

I think I would use Resolute first… But I would definitely put them all on. As soon as I ripped the box open. While squealing excitedly.

I would love to try Viridian Nail Lacquer first, because I love nail polishes. But I would definitely try the Alluvium pigment because it just looks so good.

I’d use the pigment first – I was just looking at these at Ulta and they’re gorgeous! They’d be perfect for my next club outing.

Sorry, make that Sephora (oops). I ended up going with the Sephora brand dark grape/purple lipstick, but I reeeally wanted some of the darker reds shown in the promo material.

I would wear Viridian nail polish first, just becuase im a total nail polish junkie. I might even layer the pigment over some polishes too. Thanks!

If I HAD to pick a product to use first, it would definitely be the Alluvium pigment!! 🙂 But, I’d try to use all the products at once!

I don’t have any pigments or any eyeshadows even close to that so I’d totaly use the pigment first but the bail polish would be a strong seco d choice for me cause it seems like a beautiful color and all the bail polishes I have at the moment are light so I have been itching to find a good strong dark one.

I’d use the nail laquer first, because I just can’t leave the house without any nailpolish on, and this seems a really interesting colour! Usually my nails are a pastel mother of pearl (white, pink, grey) or fiery red. I’d love to try this one! The other two products I’d save for a special occasion or party 🙂

I would first use Resolute Liquid Metal!
This brand doesn’t exist in France, and I’m so curious of these products! Hope I’ll win my first beauty “contest”!
Thank you

And I’ll go straight for the Resolute Liquid Metal, with a close finish for the Illamasqua Alluvium Pigment.

And when I am finally able to peel my eyes away from this awesome new look in th…e mirror long enough to add the Viridian Nail Lacquer!

And then just sink in a pool of bliss… ahhhhhhhh

It’s a tough choice between Viridian polish and Hermetic lip gloss! Maybe the gloss because it’s faster to just slap on and be all prettied up while painting nails. :p

I would use the Resolute Liquid Metal first because this fall I’m into gold and copper eyeshadows and I think this would fit well with the overall looks.

OMG they look so gorgeous. i would use the pigment first, looks amazing for a night out wow that picture you used is one of the prettiest i’ve seen!

It’s hard to choose just one. I would have to say the nail polish just because it’s not like any other color i have in my collection. But, that pigment is one of the most beautiful and unique pigments i’ve seen.

Definitely Alluvium pigment! So gorgeous. I’ve never tried Illamasqua… They don’t sell it in my country… Lol but then again, what do they sell in my country?

Thanks for this giveaway! Xx
