Illamasqua New Collection: Heart Throbe

Some of you might know about Illamasqua some of you don't. Those of you who don't here is a little background on the brand :
Illamasqua is the product of a heady mix of influences. Its roots stem from the dark and illicit 1920s club scene, and combine a rich heritage in the manufacture of make-up for film and theatre. It also takes inspiration from members of the ‘alternative scenes’ for whom self-expression is paramount. Alternative cultures have always dared to be dramatic. They have an emotional attachment to making up. It’s an expression of their darker side, a release for their alter ego.

Illamasqua is for the bolder person hiding inside all of us. It is an act and an attitude. A symbol of tolerance. A celebration of idiosyncrasies. A confident statement of self-ownership.

For a long time the brand was not available for purchase in the states but more recently they have decided to release the brand in the states flagship Sephora's. The shadows and foundations and lip stick are priced from $20.00-$24.00. It's a good price because they are highly pigmented and amazing and long lasting.
