| Forbidden, Surrender and Flirtacious |
I always get so excited as soon as I see the promo pictures for a new Illamasqua launch and with the summer collection it was no exception. The collection features gorgeous pastel products in matte formulas; right up my street! As soon as the email came though on my phone to say it had launched I got myself to the local counter.

| Matte Lip Liquids |
I tried two of of the three new Matte Lip Liquids, a completely new product from Illamasqua. Surrender is a very warm peachy colour and Forbidden is a pale powder pink; both perfect for spring! I shied away from the bright orange Exotic as I knew it wouldn't really suit me, although it is beautiful.
The formula is really long-lasting. I wore Forbidden to work yesterday and it lasted a good 5-6 hours without going bitty, as long-wear lip products are prone to do. It looks very matte on the lips but doesn't ever feel totally dry to the touch like other matte liquids I have tried (Sleek, Limecrime, MUA). However it also does not feel as drying on the lips which is a bonus.

| L-R Surrender, Forbidden, Flirtatious |
The new collection sees two new shades added to their Velvet Blush line (one shade Conviction exclusive to their website). They apply like a cream but set to a powder finish. Despite being in love with their powder and cream blushers already I was not planning on getting one of the new shades...but once I tried Flirtatious I was won over. It is in the same colour family as Lover (my favourite Illamasqua blush), but a more pinky peach and it goes particularly well with Surrender.
