Illamasqua Throb and Untold - Swatches and Review

Quick post tonight...I was just blown away so I couldn't wait to share.

Illamasqua Throb is perfection in a bottle. Perfect classic, blue-based red creme, perfect formula, self-leveling, opaque in one coat. WOW. ONE coat of color, no clean up, no top coat.

I can't count how many times I DIDN'T buy this one because I didn't really need another red. Well it's just a good thing I have a good friend who's an Illamasqua-lover and willing to ship goodies to me from the UK! Kim at The Ides of Polish, rocks! Thanks to her I was able to take advantage of QVC UK sales and Illamasqua sales. ♥


So then I topped the accent nail with another of my new acquisitions...Illamasqua Untold. Gorgeous glowy red shimmer, glass fleck. One coat of Untold and one coat of Poshe over everything...

Both of these blew me away, especially with the formulas. I can't wait to try the rest of my Illamasqua haul! So what do you think? Do you have them? Like them?

    Gorgeous!!! I swapped my bottle of Throb away, thinking that I didn't need another red and I'm definitely having some swapper's remorse right about now!

      Throb is from the quad I got - I haven't tried the other red from the duo yet.
