Illamasqua recently released their Human Fundamentalism collection which consists of an array of vibrant shocking colours, typical of most Illamasqua collections. However, this time I’ve noted a twist. For this collection they’ve actually included a neutral palette, which I unfortunately do not have here for you to swatch, but if you’re interested you have check it out here. I have to admit entertaining the idea of purchasing it myself, but then I see all the neutral palettes I already own and can hear mini-me screaming and threatening to jump off a building…
One of the benefits of being in Sydney during the work week is that I can finally get a glimpse into what Sydney blogging events are like, and what a difference there is! I really had to admit that being in Melbourne we are missing out on some really lovely events, to no fault of any company, it’s just down to logistics.
One of the highlights was definitely meeting the Sydney bloggers and meeting some very familiar faces 🙂 Thank goodness as I had my own reservations about going and knowing no one at first! 😀 But I’m so glad I went and even met some new faces!
Illamasqua were kind enough to gift us with a selection of products from the new launch which I’ll swatch below 🙂 The Fundamental palette is really a gorgeous, true to the brand type of palette! It contains a Silver Liquid Metal, Mint Green Cream Pigment and Yellow & Purple Powder Eyeshadow.
You can see with the powder eye shadows I’ve included swatches with the Sealing Gel is used which creates much stronger pigmentation, unfortunately when swatched with the finger it gives of a bit of a chalky consistency, when used with a brush, especially an eyeliner brush the result is much better. The palette is currently going for $78AU and the Sealing Gel set (you get two) for $26AU.
I’ll review the nail polish and skin base foundation at a later date, but for now if you’re interested Illamasaqua is currently giving 20% off their entire range if you fill in a VIP card at any of their counters most of the month of April, so hop over if you’re keen 🙂
Oh, wow. That event looks fabulous – so much make up and sweets – basically heaven!
It’s great that you got the opportunity to try sample Illamasqua. I’m keen to, but the price tag is Australia is a bit off-putting. What is the quality like in comparison to MAC?
Looking forward to seeing some gorgeous looks you put together using this palette. The shimmery silver colour is beautiful.
Thanks for the post!
Lx
Those sweets were my dinner that evening! XD
Hmm, I think the quality is pretty similar to MAC, but the range isn’t as wide. If you like trying ordering from their online store: illamasqua.com as I think even with shipping and currency conversion, it works out cheaper! 🙂
Illamasqua never cease to amaze me with their products. Once again i am floored by what they have come up with. I have 2 of their blushes (amongst other treats) and they are far superior to anything i have ever used previously. They are just amazing
Aren’t they just amazing? 🙂 Love them!
But the neutral palette was CLEARLY designed to compliment the bolder colors int he collection mini-you! You NEEEEEEEEEEEEED them.
Nuuuuu! Enabler ENABLER!!!
Such gorgeous products, and I love the yellow shade in that palette. I can’t wait to hop down there and pick something up with 20% off!
Yay! 20% is such a great deal too 😀
