I thought it might be useful to start swatching some of my Illamasqua eye shadows, I'll need to do it in a few stages as I have quite a lot ! If you want any descriptions of any of the colours just let me know.

This is so helpful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for swatches.
ReplyDeleteThanks both for the comments, I'll try and upload more by the end of the week x
ReplyDeleteWhyyyyyyyyyyyy did they discontinue Geisha?? *sniffle*
ReplyDeletepure evilness? They do seem to have got rid of a lot, I have used up my Geisha :(
DeleteRight, pure evil! Geisha, Echo, Deity ... all look perfect, and I can't believe I am two years two late, lol. So I decided that Courtesan would be my almost-as-good-as Geisha, but that is out of stock, of course. Hopefully, it's temporary.
DeleteI have Creep and Feline, both absolutely divine, but now I want more because Illamasqua is a cool-toned person's haven. I'm not even a blush lover and I have Katie, Chased, and Promise. Of course my little stash is nothing compared to your impressive collection!
I need to find someone who has a speck of Geisha left, beg them to temporarily send it to be, and send that sample to Three Custom Colors for duplication. If you know of anyone please tell me! :D 3CC makes you buy 2 when you have them custom blend an item, and as a token of my thanks, I'd send the kind beauty person the second eyeshadow along with her returned speck as a big thank you, hee hee. Let's put out an all-points bulletin!
They do a lot of cool toned shades don't they, geish was devoid of any warmth so whislt there are similar pinks I can think of a dupe that was as cool toned, I've not bought from the brand much of late, not to do with the products but more the customer service but might re-buy some of the shadows, I think Spectre was one of my favourites x
DeleteI missed that one, too, darn it.
DeleteI woke up this morning wondering what it would look like to layer Katie blush over Sex (white) eyeshadow. I don't have Sex, or any pure white eyeshadow for that matter, but it might be worth getting one for the experiment. The white would also tone down other colors, though I am not much into pastels—other than PINK. ;)
might be worth trying, but you know it wouldn't be quite the same.... I'm thinking that the discontinued shades are bound to be on some online site somewhere, I will have a look and let you know if I can track any down x
DeleteThanks! I did look at all the usual online bargain outfits in the US, including eBay, but I didn't get any Geisha hits, so if you find one, I'd be happy to know about it. :)
