Illamasqua Succubus Lip Gloss (Throb Collection)!


This juicy red lip gloss is part of the much talked about Illamasqua ‘Throb’ collection for Valentine’s Day 2011. It’s a beautiful red, and more importantly it feels like a flattering one on my skin tone... which doesn’t always accept reds that well.

I’ve done my close up lip swatches with and without flash and I thought that instead of just blobbing and smearing the product on my hand that I’d make it a little more interesting, since it’s almost Valentine’s day – what do you think?

Illamasqua 'Throb' Valentine's Collection


With Valentine’s day just around the corner (less than 1 month away; which also means my 30th birthday is almost here too – eek) I thought it only right that I should start showing you what new goodies all the best beauty companies have to offer.


I’ll start with Illamasqua’s offerings, a mini collection very aptly named ‘THROB’! It’s a sexy and seductive selection or products that look perfect for Valentine’s day (especially Valentine’s night) and it’s set for release on January 17th in the UK and online; international release dates are yet to be released.

For the lips:

"Made up of blood reds to awaken your mouth's erotic sensuality ..."

Intense Lipgloss in 'Succubus' - a high-shine, colour-rich intense lipgloss in seductive red.


Lipstick in 'Sangers' - a colour-intense lipstick, with a highly pigmented blood red tone.


For the nails:

"And naughty but nice shades for the nails ..."

Nail Varnish in 'Load' - a rich, cream coating for the nails



Nail Varnish in 'Scorn' - a midnight matt finish, said to be a deep statement of obsession.


Nail Varnish in 'Throb' - a powerful red nail polish, the colour of blood spilled by desperate, rejected lovers.
