Illamasqua Discussion - Page 30

I don't believe that the collection is available at Sephora, at least not yet. I've been on their site and called the flagship store here in California and they don't have it.

The site has one of the promo pictures, but not the products themselves.

I think Temptalia said Sephora is going to get this collection on March 20th.

Thanks! I was worried because sometimes they get the collections WAY late... even the flagships. Thanks for the info!

I have purchased my first product from Illamasqua! I got the Intense Lipgloss in Indulge and it's a gorgeous hot pink color! I will have to try out more of their products soon!

Human Fundamentalism was released here in Australia a few days ago. I reviewed and swatched Apocalips lipstick and Burst eye shadow on my blog. The colours are really pretty!

I love the look you did with Apocalips and Currant l/l!

It is available on Sephora.com and will be available in select stores starting today (3/22), but doesn't launch widely in stores until April.

I have emerge cream pigment which makes an awesome colour corrector for under the eyes, but I think I need something to correct for redness too - would bedaub be a good choice? 

Not sure if anyone knows about this, but on the new Sephora site, I no longer see the message about Illamasqua not being available in Canada. Does that mean they ship here now? 

I did notice that my Sephora had received some of the Illamasqua nail polishes recently, so hopefully, that means we'll get the rest of the brand too...

Is the .5 shades on sephora new the shades illamasqua announced on their FB page (i think they come out next week)

i recently placed a (small) order from illamasqua....(not through sephora) i bought a blush and the sealing gel, and there was no problem for the delivery of those items.  

i overheard some girls asking one of the salespeople at sephora about (i think) illamasqua products since the polishes were there, and the sales person responded something along the lines that it's due to the canadian laws regarding  cosmetics vs. polishes. so maybe we'll have the rest of illamasqua at sephora soon enough?

incidentally katred, i think the new sephora here opens on june 1 or something....yay!

Great news! I freaked out a bunch of workers because I stuck my head in there a couple of weeks ago to see how they were doing. I mean, they're right there on a busy street. Surely I'm not the first one to look in?

It's interesting what you were told about Illamasqua, because at the same Sephora (I'm assuming- the one at Pointe Claire) I was told last year that they wouldn't be carrying Illamasqua because the sales in the US hadn't been strong enough. I sometimes wonder if anyone outside their marketing department knows the actual story.

yep, definitely was the pointe-claire branch.  i don't want to slag the staff there, because i've been helped by some very nice sales people, but maybe they really don't know the answer...

i know that canada does have some laws that make it more complicated for cosmetics companies...e.g.they make them jump through certain hoops-- a makeup artist at the nars in the bay downtown told me the new nars tinted moisturizer is supposedly spf 25 or something, but it doesn't meet one of our standards, so they aren't allowed to label it so.

in any case, i was at the sephora in ottawa last week, and the sales assistant helping me said june 1st...and i was thrilled!!!! but maybe my wallet wasn't...

Sorry if this has already been asked (30 pages of thread is a lot to trawl though :s) But has anyone depotted their illamasqua eyeshadows? How easy are they? I want to get some but i dont have the space to keep them all in singles, I need to put them into my Z palettes save space.

i dun own any illamasqua eye shadows but i have 2 of their blushers.. and i use alcohol to depot.. overall they need a bit of patience during the process of depotting..

I tried Scorn first; it lasted on my fingers for five days... and almost nothing has lasted that long on my finger nails. Plus, Sangers is, IMO, my perfect red. Absolutely stunning.

I've had my eye on Sangers for a while. Is their formula very drying? I've heard different things and while my lips aren't overly sensitive, they can get dried out from matte lipsticks.

I don't think I've ever had any polish last five days in any formula. I'll have to give Illamasqua a try!

I have Sangers Katred. The formula is pretty drying. I use a healthy dose of balm before I put it on.

Does anyone own any of their brushes? I would really love to own them, but the price is even higher than the MAC ones so I'm still on the fence. I'd love to finally upgrade to quality brushes.

I love Illamasqua's nail polishes, I have 9 of them so far.  The lipsticks are somewhat drying depending on the shade, but for me it's something I'm used to as they tend to do that naturally. I try to hydrate my lips prior to wearing Sangers and it looks much better. It's also very long lasting. Kontrol looks the most dry on me, while Climax is rather comfortable to wear and not as drying. 

I just bought this crazy Apocalips lipstick(and loads more stuff) I just fell in love with the colour of the lipstick. I hope I will rock it

Can't wait for my package to arrive now.. ))))))

Did you get it yet???  I have considered ordering, but I truly live in a one horse town with little culture, and no where to wear it, so I am choosing to just live vicariously...that is a gorgeous color
