If Illamasqua’s Intense lipglosses are too wild for you, check out their Sheer formula.
Like the Intense glosses, these come in a long, skinny squeeze tube with a slant tip applicator (the tube is made of a tough plastic, and it’s tricky to get the last bit of gloss out). The glosses are $20 and have an artificial-sweet scent (“jellybeans” was the first thing that popped into my head).
Unlike the Intense glosses (which look like they all come from the same family), the Sheer glosses comes in one of two types: sheer creme, and sparkly.
Brilliant is clear. Lily Rose is sheer hot pink (red). Torture is sheer orange. Divine is sheer Barbie pink. Electrify is pale bubblegum pink with lots of dense silver sparkle. Rouse is sheer milky baby pink. Soul is frosty champagne beige. Enchant is sheer, warm, peach-brown (it reminds me of Guerlain Ambre Terracotta gloss). Tantrum is purple-blackberry with sparkles.
And just like with the Intense glosses, what you see swatched here (that is, what’s carried in Sephora) is not the full line.
loving electrify and soul! *-*
thanks for swathing these! =)
Tantrum is my favorite!
Oh snap It’s like swatching christmas! Thanks!
Ooh, I like soul! But they’re all pretty.
You must’ve used 1/2 the tube of Enchant to get that much color
I’ve got a few Illamasqua products (love the lipstick) but just bought Enchant recently and its nearly invisible unless I pile it on until it’s thick. And I bought it just to add a little shimmer to neutral lipsticks, not even to wear on its own. Big disappointment. But I’ve had Follow from the Intense line and it’s terrific (and much redder than your photo makes it appear; great topper for red lipsticks to give them depth).
