My new favourite blush - Illamasqua Powder Blush - Ambition with Shimmer


Illamasqua is a British Brand, which has a cult status following. It is available at Sephora here in the US. 
Illamasqua Powder Blush - Ambition with shimmer





Pros:
  • Highly pigmented, so a little goes a long way. Be careful with how much you put on that brush, when you get started. Don’t forget to shake off the excess.
  • Staying power is quiet remarkable, better than any I have come across. It stays on the whole day without any primer, just on top of a regular moisturizer (STEAMCREAM for moi!)
  • Great value for money $24/0.14oz, and you only need a dab so it last a long time.
  • It’s very build-able, so can give you a natural flush to a very dramatic look with just an extra couple of brush stroke.
  • Ambition is a neutral pink with shimmer.  A light dab gives you a very natural flush on my skin tone.
  • Its shimmer done just right, not too subtle yet not to overwhelming either, perfect for a day look.
  • Can provide a range of colours, with the same swatch depending on how lightly or intensely its applied.
  • Doubles as an eyeshadow. (Don't you just love double duty products!)
Cons:
  • The whole range is not available Stateside yet. But thank God for small blessing, that its available at Sephora.
