There's a kind of older gentleman that comes by our mall in drag once and a while. A lady shopping in our store said, "I can't believe people actually do that, it's so sad." I wanted to escort her out of the store..but I'm not a manager. Instead I simply said, "I think it's brave." I wish I could have thought of something snarky too!
Back to Illamasqua I'm interested in Indulge Intense Lipglass as a dupe for Chanel 167 Super Rouge Allure.

And pale-skinned ones, too! Not everyone has to be a medium beige/tan. Another reason I felt compelled to comment on the customer service at the Newcastle counter is because, when I was being served, another customer came in. He'd been referred from a different counter (not the Lancome one!) and he wanted to work on his makeup for his drag act. They were just as polite and helpful to him as they were to me, as they should have been. Right after that, I went to the counter that had referred him, and picked up a lipgloss. When I had finished paying, the woman at the counter till asked "So was that really a guy back there?" and made a 'grossed-out face'. I was so shocked, I didn't even say anything. I am NEVER going back to that counter again. Aaargh, even thinking about that woman is making me so irritated. I should have said something snarky to her. |

I too think it's brave to be unique and proud about it, without a shame or fear of what some conservative or discriminating people might think. I think she totally would've deserved some really snarky comments!

I bought some stuff from the 50% off sale too.. Two intense glosses and a nail polish (Hectic). These are my first Illamasqua purchases! I hope I love it because shipping to the US was 8 bucks... I still saved money though. And I've been dyyyying to get my hands on some of those glosses.

Those are exactly the three colours I'm about to order! How would you describe them?
Which one do you think is best for pale skin tones? What about for medium? Do you know to what Mac colours they would compare? Thanks!

I don't yet have mischief and rumour, but now I know how to 'interpret' the site swatches I would say that rumour looks a lot like strada. There's no equivalent in the mac range for primal (see my swatches in the swatch thread), it's the most awesome contour for pale girls. I far prefer it to strada and emote. Mischief looks a bit like personal style, ie. a slightly peachy nude.

I just ordered a couple of things at the 50% off sale too! I kind of regret not getting Lust pure pigment, but I know I can probably get a dupe off TKB or Fyrinnae for a lot cheaper.
I ended up getting Sin blush (I've wanted to try this for a while), Poison and Vengeance lipsticks and Liason intense lipgloss. I seem to have gravitated toward the weird colors this time. At home, I have a few of their blue eyeshadows, but I've never tried the lip and face stuff. Will post pictures of a look when I get my stuff. =]

I got all excited when I saw "50% off," then realized it's in the UK and shipping is more $$.

I have been keeping my eye on Poison, I would love to see a swatch of it! There's no lip-pictures of Poison on their site so I don't know if it's very close to for example Mac Smoked Purple l/s.
I ordered a few things too from the sale: Primal, Kiss and Rumour blushes (also Mischief but it wasn't in the packet - maybe it was sold out already and there was a mistake on stock). Then I got Echo and Tangle eyeshadows as well as the normal priced Daemon e/s. The eyebrowcake that I got (Instinct) has very greenish tones to it! I wonder how it will look on. Also I got Marvel pigment for my mom.
