Illamasqua. Did you manage to say that right or did you pause for a second to look at the letters. I know when I first saw the name, the first three letters had me stuck then I saw a Q like DAMN! This better be some bougee shit if I need to make so much effort in pronouncing the name itself 𝑳𝑶𝑳
Let’s get down to business. How many of us just go on a site waiting for what we want to be on sale? I DO!! So I was browsing https://www.net-a-porter.com/hk/en/ when I clicked onto the SALE section…because they have all the bougee shit and that on discount is a steal! I scrolled through bought some Pat Mcgrath stuff ( I LOVE HER SO NO SURPRISE THERE ) , Sam and smith gloss and this lipstick.
Moth was the only shade left which is great for me coz I don’t have many lipsticks with that shade. In Hong Kong, the majority prefers either reds , oranges, or pinks and all the colour in between.
PLUS, did you notice how beautiful the packaging is? Give me any product in gold packaging and most likely I WILL give you my money!
I later found out that this lipstick is from a limited edition “vanitas” – so surprised it was half price being limited. ( It is back to full price now tho) Either way, I am glad I bought iT!
