I was also thinking of getting the new MAC magically cool powder but hmmm i may get one of the illamasqua powdered metals instead
as i think that these would be probably nicer and also a bit more grown up !

You can still order from the website, though, can't you?
Does anyone have any direct links to swatches of the new stuff? My googling attempt didn't give me much. I'm really interested in that blue lippy and maybe the polishes.

Oh nooo!
I just had a look, only available in the EU. Between now and next week I will visit the new standalone store and purchase the lippy/swatch it and if your dead set on it we can arrange a CP, if you like.
Here are some swatches taken from I Heart Cosmetics No *Disciple* though

Some cheeky beggar was selling Disciple lipstick on ebay, both that and the brand new pigment that was only released to bloggers.
Tali at The Gloss Goss has a swatch of Disciple. Not sure if I can paste the link here as it might be spam but if you Google "The Gloss Goss", it's one of her recent posts.

It never surprises me the time it takes for items to get on ebay. I guess a blogger didn't want to hold on to the pigment.
I have seen Gloss Goss, hmm it looks black/grey rather than blue on her lips. Not the best swatch but here it is.

So sweet of you to offer but I really shouldn't buy anything until after VV.
Thanks though! And have fun at the FS store. That's gonna be awesome!
Also, it's not like Illamasqua things are LE.
I love that about them.

I think the cremeblush in Rude would look gorgeous on you! Also the powder blusher in Lover is very popular, it's a great apricot colour. Illamasqua blushes are _very_ pigmented and definitely something to give a try on, they are excellent.
I just got the powder blush in Kiss and it is so perfect for fall.
I also recommend the pigments. I have Android and Static and they are so divine, hypnotizing with all the sparkle like diamonds.
From the new fall collection I'm eyeing the new pigments, the new powdered metal Ether, Hermetic Intense Lipgloss and the nailpolishes.

The products from Art of Darkness I am working for are Pure Pigments in Alluvium and Ore and the lipstick in Disciple. I have been waiting for this colour since Hannah Marshall's AW10 show. Then there's the Raindrops nail varnish from the competition and a whole host of pieces from the line as a whole!

Sealing Gel is a great product. To begin with I held out, using water with my eyebrow cake, but I thought I'd give it a shot and received mine yesterday. A majority of Illamasqua's products are multifaceted (for example, you mention the blushers - if you get a cream blusher like Rude suggested by Pinkbasset above, you can also wear it as a lip colour, killing two birds with one stone!): Sealing Gel turns even more of the line into flexible products. Powder eyeshadows become liners etc. And the staying power with this is A*!

Also: do any Specktra members have the Medium Pencil in Vow and mind doing a quick test in the product swatch section? I have heard it is great for the waterline but I am actually mainly interested in using it on the lips with Absorb Intense Lipgloss over the top. I already use MP in Debonair and Torment on my lips with great results, and am looking for a my perfect nude lip in Vow (plus Absorb).

Hi,
I googled the name of the pencil and these links came up which may be of help:
London MakeUp Girl: Rouge Bunny Rouge swatches and face
Visionary Beauty: Illamasqua Loose Powder, Eyeshadow in Wicked, and Vow Pencil.

I had no idea Illmasqua had pigments. My poor wallet. I think I will try a blusher and a piggie to start...
Thanks for the recs

generally, i've liked everything i've tried from illamasqua, but my faves would be:
cream blushers: dixie, sob
'torture' sheer lipgloss is a very good one...the mua called it universally flattering...
if you want to go for a bright eye shadow, i like 'taboo' which is a bright turquoise green...
one of the first items i tried from them was their illuminator in 'fondle'...it has a very nice light consistency.
