The visuals for Illamasqua's Once Collection scream Autumn/Winter to me and the new products and colours are simply stunning. The collection consists of 3 cream eyeshadows, 2 lipglosses, a blush and a nail polish.
Vintage Metallix Eyeshadow in Embellish* (£16.50)
This little pot is my favourite item from the collection. It provides a metallic cream-gel texture that glides onto the skin beautifully and stays in place all day. It also works really well as a base for powder eyeshadows or used as a liner. I have never tried a cream shadow with such a beautiful formula - it is ultra light, super pigmented, 100% crease proof & smudge proof. Fantastic! Embellish is a gorgeous chocolate brown shade with fine gold/bronze shimmer and it looks lovely used allover the lid, applied with fingers or a brush. I need the other two shades in my life, especially Courtier (vintage nude).
Illamasqua Sheer Lipgloss in Exquisite* (£16.50)
Illamasqua's lipglosses have a lovely formula and they feel very comfortable on the lips. They are non sticky, smooth and nourishing. Exquisite is described as and 'oyster pink' shade and it is a slightly 'milky' sheer pink with an oyster shell finish. I love the way it looks on my lips.

Illamasqua Melange Nail Varnish* (£14.50)
I am sooo in love with the finish of this nail polish - it is very unique and worth checking out. I used a glossy top coat on it to make it look even more beautiful, but it is actually semi-matte with very fine antique gold shimmer. The colour is described as a golden teal and it couldn't be more captivating!
