I have not posted in a while...this whole blogging business can get a wee bit discouraging at times...perhaps it is because my blogging skills are comparable to a four year old child's? Yes I suppose that is a factor...!

ANYWHO...I. am. so. thrilled. Illamasqua has blown up (not literally, please don't cry) in the UK as a trendy, high quality, beautiful make up line that offers makeup for "your alter ego". Aside from the amazing products, and beautiful promotional images, Illamasqua has been getting rave reviews! No thanks to the internet and youtube of course, it was only a matter of time before Sephora saw the enormous potential of bringing Illamasqua across the pond! When i heard, my first thoughts were "Oh that's great..but they won't ever come to Canada". Alas, I digress, and they WILL be able to ship to US! Not *the* U.S but us...as in Canada...*ahem* If you want to know what all the fuss is about...

1) Pixiwoo from youtube: These two make-up artist sisters from the UK are absolutely insanely beautiful, I guarantee you will be enthralled by their makeup videos..here is one using illamasqua products, but they use a few of them...DEF worth checking out

2) Wayne AKA Gossmakeupartist from Youtube: aside from being absolutely stunning, this Guru is sweet, down to earth, and extremely EXTREMELY knowledgable and helpful...you will not regret watching a minute of ANY of his videos--plus his accent= swoon. I am posting just one video--but he has a TON and he shows all the products, how to use them, who they are good for, etc. AMAZING!

3) Temptalia.com (Christine): Christine runs my all time favourite website...the immense work and talent she has shows in every post-- beware though--this site has TONS of information, your head might just fall off! Here are some swatches and reviewws of her Illamasqua products: http://www.temptalia.com/illamasqua-encounter-lipstick-obey-lipstick-lily-rose-sheer-lipgloss-photos-swatches-reviews

4) Whatstyleistonickel: I swear those English and their accents--it absolutely has me in a tizzy it does--I absolutely LOVE it! Another wonderful youtube make-up guru--> Richie Nickel is in one word: Fabulous. He also has many youtube videos, and some illamasqua reviews as well! love his look, his advice, just FAB! Here is part 1 of his 2 part Illamasqua haul!

5) JulieG: i love her videos..she's honest, sweet, talented and intensely gorgeous (boo on your Julie! haha) and also has some illamasqua reviews!

Drooling yet? I thought so...well head on over to http://www.sephora.com and get your Illamasqua on (well, order it..and THEN get it on...your face :) )
