I've probably said this before, but I love Illamasqua!
Two of their standout items for me are the blushes (cream or powder) and their lipsticks. If you are a fan of matte lipsticks & blushers check these out!
This weekend I picked up
Powder blush in Lover
Lipstick in Obey
They cost about $20 to $23 each &
can be found at Illamasqua.com, Sephora.com and select Sephora stores

Illamasqua products are highly pigmented and last a long period of time for me. The blushes, especially the powder blushes don't need re-applying. Their cream blushes like my beloved Rude tend to become a little oily and wear off throughout the day and especially in the summer. That is precisely why I purchased Lover. The shade is in the same family as Rude but Lover is more orangey (in a good way).
I had been interested in this blush for a while but after seeing
it on one of my fave blogs, Ebrushka's Makeup Bag I had to purchase it.
The same goes for Obey lipstick. It is a highly pigmented matte peachy coral lipstick. I LOVE this color. I have been wearing this lippie two ways; paired with MAC's Myth for a more wearable lip or paired with Chanel's Candy Glow Aqualumiere gloss for a bold sheen.

End of the day hot & tired FOTD
I slapped on some of the Lover Blush over Illamasqua Tweak and then layered Myth & Obey
I will post the more bold, bright way to wear this lipstick soon..I feel this is going to be my go-to lipstick of the summer =)
Thanks for reading,
