Yes…! Last Thursday an event was held by Illamasqua to unveil their new collection Dystopia! Now when i tell you that I absolutely Love this collection…I’m being serious!
Just waiting for Pay day…then i’m off to treat myself to a few things!
I need in my Life:-
~ Shadow Palette in Purple
~ Android Pigment
That evening I met up with a few beauty bloggers at Leicester Square, where we began our journey to the Restaurant/Hotel/Bar in Soho, where the event was held!
We were kindly welcomed by Alex Cummins (Who I have to thank a great deal for putting the event together) and were served some drinks and appetisers at the reception.

The wonderful Artistic Director Alex Box showed us some magic as she did a demo on Lydia.
It was brilliant!
She is extremely talented!
During the Demo she explained the concept behind the collection…
Where the dark meets the light. Monochrome shades build and blend, brought alive by flashes of intense pink and lurid purple, while dazzling pigments, metallic textures and iridescent finishes all add to the drama of this strikingly uncompromising look. As the nights grow longer, bring your alter ego out of the shadows and illuminate your individuality.
We were able to swatch a few of the products in the new collection and they kindly gave us Two items of our own (…although, some people deemed it neccessary to nick stuff…! Didn’t your mama teach you better?? The Drama on Twitter was oh so hilarious!) and an envelope with £20 to cover all travel costs. How generous!
Anyway, I got the Static Pigment and a black eyeshadow that Nic (Pixiwoo) kindly agreed to swap for a Pink Lippy (..that I had tried on earlier and was wishing would be in my goody bag! lol)
Afterwards Richie, Pixiwoo, Gale, Pandalovesmakeup and I headed for drinks! That was fun…Richie has some footage in his vid!
We then made a last minute stop at Westfield and did a little bit of shopping…haul soonly!
All in all, the event was fab and i totally enjoyed myself. I was able to put voices to tweets and also meet the fabulous bloggers i’ve been following for ages!
Met new ones too! 🙂
Here’s My Vlog…
Hope everyone had a great time regardless, and a great Big Thank you to team at Illamasqua for holding this event and to Mizz Worthy for letting us all know about it on Twitter!
Feel free to take the pictures…but i’m sure you already know to credit the owner…right? good!
