Hello lovelies! I hope you are all well <3
I am extremely happy for some reason today! And I am even more happy because I will finally be able to post a look with the Illamasqua cream pigment I purchased a while back.

Product Review
Let me make this easier and just breakit down into pros and cons~
PROS:
~Unique product. There isn't any other matte cream shadows that I know of.
~Extremely pigmented, thus why it is a "cream pigment" and not a "creme shadow."
~The color is also very unique! A minty green~
~Multi-purpose product. You can use them for anything, really. Eyes, lips, cheeks, face, body, and hair.
~Easy to blend and very to apply
~This is not dry at all. It is super creamy and smooth.
~This will last you a pretty long time since a little product goes a long way
CONS
~Will be expensive for some people, I hesitated to buy this because of the price
~It is prone to creasing, so make sure to use both a primer and a powder to set it
(Or an eyeshadow or loose pigment)
Verdict
Overall, I am very happy with this product. This color is not the most versatile color, but I do love it. I am considering getting another cream pigment because I love the formula and versatility of the actual product. I recommend this to people who love cream products, or people who love multi-tasking products.
Rating: 8.5/10
Recommend? Yes~
Repurchase? I would not repurchase this color, because I can't use it for too many things (I use it as an eyeshadow and as a color corrector for redness), but I would purchase a couple other colors :D
FOTD
Let me tell you guys a little background for this look. I was wearing this today as a liner on my upper lash line when I went to school. I arrived home and did what I usually do: check blogger and other blogs. I always look at xSparkage.com because I love the looks that Leesha does. It is funny because she did a look inspired by Nicki Minaj's makeup at the VMAs. She used a liner similar in color to Bedaub and I loved the recreation that she did.
I should mention, I hate Nicki Minaj. I like her makeup and clothes sometimes, but I hate her music. But I loved the look that Leesha did, so that is why I decided to try it out. I will say I am replicating the look that Leesha did, and am by no means doing a Nicki Minaj inspired look! ;D

*I should mention that In some picture the pigment is going to look cakey. I had applied my eye makeup like normal and I applied this new mascara. Unfortunately I got a bunch of smudges of mascara on my eyelid and it messed up my eye makeup. I went over everything to get rid of the mascara smudges, but since I had applied powder over the cream pigment already, when I reapplied the pigment it made it a little bit cakey. So excuse that. I will include some pictures of before I re-applied the pigment, but I will have some mascara smudges >_<"
Okay, cam whoring time~
I really like this look! It is not something I would normally wear, but I thank Leesha for her post.
If you guys have any request, don't be shy to tell me ^_~

That's such a pretty color.
ReplyDeleteits so pretty! and intense! love it
ReplyDeletehaha Love the pics! This is such a fucking gorgeous colour! I've never bought anything from Illamasqua before. I think I want this... lol
ReplyDeleteWow, that is seriously beautiful! It doesn't even look like a cream eyeshadow from the pictures.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time hearing of a cream pigment. Very unique indeed. Really love the color pay-off. Your eyes look really amazing with the minty green color. Love the pics. :) Now I'm curious to try something like that. :) That and pretty much anything else from Illamasqua. :D
ReplyDeleteThat's cool you have friends here in Escondido. Hope you get to visit them often. :) I envy you that you live up North. You guys have better weather up there. I can imagine there would be so much traffic at the Golden Gate. Especially on a workday. The two times we saw the bridge, there was heavy fog surrounding it.
Woww such a gorgeous look!!!!
ReplyDeleteOoohh~ This is a gorgeous shade! I love how pastel and bright it is!
ReplyDeleteLove those facial expressions! haha
