Illamasqua Body Electrics Parcel...

As you probably know, Illamasqua were due to hold a bloggers event a couple of weeks ago, but due to the train strikes, the whole thing ended up getting called off sadly... So it was lovely to see that Alex Cummins and the rest of the team at Illamasqua made up for that disappointment by sending out parcels of lovely samples from the new Body Electrics range. 

I make no secret of the fact that I am a fan of Illamasqua, so I wanted to share some pictures with you of the parcel and its contents...

Inside the box were some lovely goodies, beautiful artwork and nformation on the new collection, as well as a lovely postcard from Alex...

Everybody recieved different items in their percel so I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the range... I've also placed an order for one of the body oils, which I'm really excited about too!

I recieved two of the nail varnishes, the big soft body kabuki and *squeee* the liquid metal palette...


First off, I recieved nail varnishes in Force, a deep powder blue shade, and Prism, which is amazing - a pearly white shade with a blue duochrome - I fell in love at first sight with it!

When I got home from work last night my parcel was with a neighbour, and as soon as I'd retrieved it, I couldn't wait to apply Prism. It's a really difficult shade to capture with my somewhat ameteur photography skills, but I did my best...

You can sort of see the blue duochrome effect in the second slightly blurred picture - I wouldn't normally put a blurry pic on, but it seemed to capture the effect of the colour the best out of the 48364854639 pictures I took!


The Body Kabuki is really large, and so super soft - as with all the illamasqua brushes it is synthetic. The hairs are very fine, and the brush is lovely and dense... The perfect size for applying bronzing or illuminating powders to the body.

Finally, I also recieved the liquid metals palette, which I was thrilled about!

The packaging of the palette has a sleeve which slips off the packaging, which carries the design for the Body Electrics range, and inside looks like this;

It contains the three current liquid metals, solstice, enrapture and phenomena, together with the new colour for the Body Electrics range which is a pewter shade. The lid also has a mirror.

As these are a cream product they sometimes have a thin film of emollient on them when new... just blot this off with a little tissue and your liquid metals are good to go...

So, I just wanted to say a big thank you to Alex, and all at Illamasqua... and also, stay tuned for the next competition, which I'm going to be announcing next week!
