Illamasqua Paranormal Collection Review!!

Hey guys, here is my follow up blog post reviewing some of the products from my Illamasqua haul including pieces from the paranormal collection!!!

The first product I am going to review is the Paranormal Palette


Price/ Quantity
The palette is £34.00 and contains 2g and 3x 1.5g of product.

Colour/ Wear time
This palette is great as it contains 4 colours including a cerise pink, a copper, a green and a violette colour!! They are all gorgeous and highly pigmented. I found that you can create areas of deeply pigmented colour or blend the colour out to create gorgeous washes! I put this make up on in the morning and it was still in place by evening and hadn't smudged or creased at all so I would say it is very long lasting indeed!

Pro's/ Con's
This product is so long lasting and the colours are highly pigmented and all compliment each other and blend so well together. Also the texture is amazing and although it takes a little while to get used to I definitely think the texture adds to making this an amazing product.

The only downside I could find is that due to the texture of this product it was quite difficult to cut a piece off and decant it on to a palette to work from, which I do for hygiene purposes. 

The paranormal Palette can be bought here


Here is my eyes with both products from todays review !!




The next product I want to review is the Precision Gel Liner



Price/ Quantity
The liner is £18 and contains 5g of product

Colour/ Wear time
This a jet black gel liner that is so strongly pigmented even when blended. This product is amazing as it is waterproof and so long lasting. I found that this product stayed in place once applied and didn't smudge all day!

Pro's/ Con's
 A product like this is essential for me as I wear black winged liner daily so the fact that it is waterproof and doesn't smudge just sells it even more for me!

I honestly cannot think of a down side to this eyeliner apart from if you are used to a pencil liner it may take a while to get used to using a brush and a gel liner.

Illamasqua Paranormal Collection Haul

It is no secret that Illamsqua is my favourite make-up brand, so when I found out they were launching their new collection I knew it was going to be amazing!!

As a professional account holder with Illamasqua I got the privilege to view the collection 2 days before it was launched publicly. 

On the website they claim:

"Illamasqua is opening a doorway to a new dimension. Do you dare to come in? Give in as beauty takes control. After all, why be normal, when you can be Paranormal?"

 As soon as I saw it and read about all of the new products I knew I was going to have to make a purchase!! I grabbed a few things from the new collection plus a few little bits and pieces I needed.

Here is what I got!!


The delivery was so speedy and I was even emailed an hour time slot so I knew exactly when it would arrive. The products are always packaged in such a personal way that I honestly feel like a lot of care has went in to me receiving my make up!!!
