I'm sure by this point of the day your head is spinning with Black Friday offers and undoubtedly your inbox is bursting full - I know mine is. You may even vow to ignore the entire event, which truthfully is understandable, it is all a little manic and pushy. However the good news for all Illamasqua fans (aka the Illamafia) is that not only do all The Sunday Girl readers get an exclusive 30% off discount code (that's 5% more than anywhere else) but the offer is extended until the 27th of November. Now you can browse at your leisure, rather than panic buying because really, we are all so over that. If that is not enough - and whilst stocks last - should you spend over £60 you will receive a beauty bundle worth £55 too.
So maybe you are new to Illamasqua products and don't really know where to start? I think it is only fair to begin by stating that Illamasqua are completely cruelty free, and have never tested on animals; they also have over 100 lines that are vegan and support wonderful causes. It is a brand loved by professional make-up artists, creatives and novices alike, but the one thing we can all agree on is that the quality is incredible and there truly is something for all.
As we are slowly approaching the festive season, all I can think about is shimmery, glistening highlighting products - seriously, I can't get enough. If you are anything like me, you will want to own at least one of the Illamasqua Beyond Powder Highlighters ; these finely milled, glitter-particle free pressed powders, glide onto the skin creating an almost foil-like appearance that can be amped up (apply wet), or diffused with a fluffy brush for a more gentle approach. The Illamasqua Beyond Powder Highlighters also double up as eyeshadows, and can be dabbed over lipstick to create a bespoke metallic lip, which is undoubtedly going to be a huge trend in the coming weeks once party season is in full swing.
There's nothing quite like a great pair of false eyelashes to finish a look - even if that "look" is just to pop out and buy groceries. In the past, I haven't always invested in false eyelashes and as such tarred the entire category as being overrated and tricky to apply. The real problem was quality - nothing less, nothing more - and sometimes to get the best option available, you do need to pay a little more (or y'know maybe not rely so heavily on eBay). Illamasqua false eyelashes truthfully aren't all that more costly than those you'd find in any highstreet chemist (especially after the discount has been applied) and yet they are by far easier to apply, wear and generally enjoy. Everything from the fit, colour and weight has been considered for comfort, so all you have to do is decide which style best reflects your personality, and take it from there. As a side but important note: with proper care a pair of Illamasqua eyelashes will last several applications.
Lastly I want to share a red lipstick that manages the impossible, yes it is a suit-all shade that compliments all complexions, which is no small feat. Illamasqua Lipstick in Box is a bright yet easy to wear red - a classic if you will. Yes it does have a slight blue undertone but all that results in is brighter, whiter teeth. Basically if you need or want a red lipstick, that you can slick on without as much as a second thought Illamasqua Box should be your next purchase.
The above are of course just my suggestions, there are countless other products to chose from including foundation, cheek products and more eyeshadows than you can shake a stick at. For 30% off any purchase via the Illamasqua please use the code ADRIENNE30.
