Illamasqua Intense Gloss - Frenzy

Illamasqua Intense Glosses (£12.50 for 7ml) aren't kidding at all by naming these intense because these are the most pigmented, opaque glosses I have ever seen in my life! What you see in the tube is what you get on your lips.

It has a high-gloss finish, comfortable to wear, not sticky in the slightest but will be gloopy if you applied a lot (and don't see why you would need to) they have a very faint scent to them but it isn't enough to repulse anybody who really dislike scented products, and although in the lip product World more pigmentation means more ingredients to suck the moisture from your lips (well OK, that mainly applies to lipsticks, but...) Intense Glosses will not leave your lips feeling and looking parched, and the glossiness will fade in about two or so hours, but the colour itself is quite long-lasting, and when it's gone after say, a meal, itslightly stains your lips to a MLBB shade.
So really, it's almost a liquid lipstick that does not dry out the lips.

I bought an Intense Gloss in shade 'Frenzy,' which the website describes as a 'Hot fuschia pink,' and I would have to disagree with the fuschia part - Frenzy is pure hot-pink, baby.

The product is within a thin, sleek tube which is quite firm when squeezed. The product is released via a plastic slanted tip and it isn't very good when trying to give a precise application, but I use a lip brush so that solves it for me. I'm actually happy there's no added brush because I think they're stupid and they waste product.

Would I buy more?: Heeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll yaaeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait! I don't even know which shade I should buy. Maybe a totally radical one like Repulse (pure black) or Gender (apparantly sky blue, but it looks teal to me) or maybe the bright orange one.

 Grade: A-
I wish it had more diifferent shades (I don't know, but the lip swatches on the website look quite similiar...) and I just wish the tube was slightly fatter! I want more product... but other than that I love it.


What shall my next Illamasqua Intense Gloss shade be, and would you buy them?

Cheer Up

Hello. :) I've been really, really depressed lately.. so I thought I'd show these pictures in hopes of cheering myself, and you (the reader) in slightly better moods for today.
My friend and I attacked each other with makeup (of course!) from my makeup stash. No regrets. I don't cry over spilled milk.

Enjoy!

I look like him, don't I? It's the eyebrows.. evidently.

Look at how sexy the lip liner is! By the way.. I drew a penis on her face but she washed it off before I was allowed to take a picture.. :(

LEGO Anniversary

I'm not a huge, mega hardcore LEGO fan or anything, but the franchise does interest and humour me. I've been wanting to buy my boyfriend the huge LEGO motorised (yes, it moves) AT-AT which is about £80, and the size of a cat - OK, I mainly wanted to buy it for myself but I was a poor student and asked my boyfriend if one day we could buy it and split the costs.

Anyway, on our Anniversary (my very first year-long relationship) I was presented with a huge box, and lo-and-behold, he bought me the damn AT-AT as my Anniversary gift..

If you're not familiar with building LEGO sets, you would normally find one instruction booklet/step-by-step guide showing you how to build your new model - well, this box had three booklets, and about a gazillion bags of LEGO housing a gazillion billion pieces (kay, 1137 pieces to be exact).

  Luke is not looking forward to cleaning this mess up..

My gorgeous boyfriend on the left, knowing that he will be up all night trying to finish building this.

Sooooo yeah, there was a lot, and it took us awhile, I think it took us about two days? We got up to here on the first day before I finally managed to drag boyfriend to bed (Yeah.. he actually did most of it. I got pouty in the first stages because I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING.)

Impressive, huh? Then I was too lazy to take photos of the final finished model with my camera, so instead here it shall be in shitty mobile phone quality.

Beautiful isn't it? It's our baby. I wanted to name it Molly.. or something. It's very unfortunate I did not take a video of it walking either, so I shall steal a youtube video for you to see.
