I received three Medium Pencils from Illamasqua to try out. I don´t use eye pencils much because my skin around my eyes is sensitive and I don´t like those dry and hard pencils. So I was a bit scared to try these out. Silly me :) how could I even think Illamasqua would make something bad. These pencils are soft, very pigmented and you don´t have to push hard to get the color on your skin. Here are pictures and swatches of the three colors I have:
WHIPLASH
DEBONAIR
PAINT
Debonair is my favourite! I have it at home for about two weeks now and I love to play with it. I want to show you a very simple and quick look that I wore yesterday. I used the Illamasqua Medium Pencil in Debonair and then blended it out a bit with an eyeshadow brush.
And because this a nail polish blog most of the time, I have for you a picture of what I am wearing today. I used Illamasqua Purity on the whole nail, the tips are made with Illamasqua Gamma (of course my favourite orange of all time) and then some black stamping. I like the contrast between the softness of Purity and the craziness in Gamma :)
* the product(s) in this post were sent to me by the manufacturer or their PR company
both looks are totally fun!
ReplyDeleteThose eyepencils look amazing! Great color pay off (: And i really love the nails! Purity is a gorgeous color and it looks so fun together Gamma ^^
ReplyDeleteOhh! The nails, God I love those nails! <3
ReplyDeleteDebonair is gorgeous! I love the eye you did with it!
ReplyDeleteI totaly fell in love with these on my course at Illamasqua the other week. The pink eye I did (pic on the blog) was almost entirely done with their pencils. Only used shadows mixed with sealing gel for the brow and liner. They're awesome. I have debonir, but Whiplash and paint are on my to get list. Nails look awesome x
ReplyDeleteTa oranžová mani je ale mooooc povedená.. Na tužky mám taky docela zálusk!
ReplyDeleteYou're so lucky! I want to try out some Illamasqua stuff!
ReplyDeleteThat eyelook is SO pretty!!! Subtle yet colorful and really complimenting your eyes.
ReplyDeleteo0o, Debonair looks amazing! I want that. And I love your nails! How did you do that design? Lol.
ReplyDeleteTa manikúra je totální bomba!
ReplyDeleteWoe, this Illmasqua pencil looks great! I love the simple blue look you've created!
ReplyDeleteOh, and your nails just roooock! I love when you do different stuff like that! :)
D.Sadie: first I painted my whole nails with Purity, let it dry a bit. Then I hand painted my tips with Gamma. It does not have to be perfect and when it was completely dry, I stamped over it. Simple and looks great :)
ReplyDeletegreat nail art, i love this effect XD
ReplyDeleteYour eyes are so beautiful and I love the nails!!
ReplyDeleteDebonair and Whiplash are amazing! Great nails. :)
ReplyDeleteYour nails look amazing. I love the color and the design. The eye pencils are lovely. I'm the same about pencils. I'm always afraid that they'll be hard and pull at the skin.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love the look you did with Debonair is so simple yet beautiful!
