This is one of the two lipsticks by Illamasqua that is part of their latest Toxic Nature collection, this one was kindly sent to me for this review.
The pigmentation on this is fantastic, bold, strong, it’s a real stand out shade. I would recommend using a lip brush for application if you are worried about messing up, something I recommend for all darker lipsticks with rich pigmentation. The finish is a semi-matte sheen, very unique and looks great in photographs.
I would suggest you wear a lip balm before applying this as the formula feels drying upon application, though strangely is not actually that drying once on the lips. If you are worried, top it off with a gloss.
One of the upsides to this formula, like the cream pigment is the grip this has to your lips is amazing. It really does last much longer than most lipsticks.
So tell me, have you tried anything from Illamasqua’s Toxic Nature collection?

Love it. And also, love ‘the colour on your lids 🙂
Celina says
Awww, you’re totally sweet! I had that lid colour on for the entire day and took these photos close to midnight, was too lazy to redo my makeup XD; Glad you liked *_*
Stacey says
Very pretty! I like the eyeshadow colour too, what is it?
Celina says
Thank you! 😀
The eye shadow is from the Maybelline Expert Wear Eye Shadow palette in Metallique, which colours though I have no idea @_@ They don’t come labelled 🙁
swatchgirl says
Gah, that colour. I have Flare, the bright orange twin to this, but I think I need to break my rule about not buying any more pink lipsticks EVER and grab a tube of of Atomic.
Celina says
Yay!! I feel somewhat proud of that accomplishment 😉 I saw your post on Flare, it’s a gorgeous colour!! I’ll have to try it out and see if it’ll look good on me 😀
