Illamasqua eyeshadow swatches part 1

I thought it might be useful to start swatching some of my Illamasqua eye shadows, I'll need to do it in a few stages as I have quite a lot ! If you want any descriptions of any of the colours just let me know.

    2. Right, pure evil! Geisha, Echo, Deity ... all look perfect, and I can't believe I am two years two late, lol. So I decided that Courtesan would be my almost-as-good-as Geisha, but that is out of stock, of course. Hopefully, it's temporary.

      I have Creep and Feline, both absolutely divine, but now I want more because Illamasqua is a cool-toned person's haven. I'm not even a blush lover and I have Katie, Chased, and Promise. Of course my little stash is nothing compared to your impressive collection!

      I need to find someone who has a speck of Geisha left, beg them to temporarily send it to be, and send that sample to Three Custom Colors for duplication. If you know of anyone please tell me! :D 3CC makes you buy 2 when you have them custom blend an item, and as a token of my thanks, I'd send the kind beauty person the second eyeshadow along with her returned speck as a big thank you, hee hee. Let's put out an all-points bulletin!

    3. They do a lot of cool toned shades don't they, geish was devoid of any warmth so whislt there are similar pinks I can think of a dupe that was as cool toned, I've not bought from the brand much of late, not to do with the products but more the customer service but might re-buy some of the shadows, I think Spectre was one of my favourites x

    4. I missed that one, too, darn it.

      I woke up this morning wondering what it would look like to layer Katie blush over Sex (white) eyeshadow. I don't have Sex, or any pure white eyeshadow for that matter, but it might be worth getting one for the experiment. The white would also tone down other colors, though I am not much into pastels—other than PINK. ;)

    5. might be worth trying, but you know it wouldn't be quite the same.... I'm thinking that the discontinued shades are bound to be on some online site somewhere, I will have a look and let you know if I can track any down x

    6. Thanks! I did look at all the usual online bargain outfits in the US, including eBay, but I didn't get any Geisha hits, so if you find one, I'd be happy to know about it. :)
