My Illamasqua Lipsticks

Hello everyone! Today I thought I'd show you the Perfect Pout set I purchased from Illamasqua. The price was £60, so even though I was making a huge saving, for me it was still a considered purchase. I decided to look at reviews on the lipsticks before I purchased them and the reviews were mixed. It seemed clear that they are a "love it or hate it " product. When they arrived, I was a bit unsure of the formula, and I instantly fell in love with Isis, a bright red shade that is exclusive to this set. As soon as I tried it on I felt like I had found the perfect red for my complexion. After I got a chance to play with them, I was impressed at the staying power of these. I can honestly say that I have never had a lipstick (and trust me, I have used many) that stay like this. Due to this, they do show any dry areas on the lips so applying a lip balm about 10-20 minutes before applying would go a long way. I was also blown away by how pigmented these are. I would say this set is not for the shy and retiring as these colours are BOLD. I would love to try out more of the colours and will be hopefully doing so in the next few months. I would 100% recommend this set as I am so glad I bought it, it's a great introduction to Illamasqua lipstick and the value is amazing
