Illamasqua Glamore lipstick in Rosepout & Minx

Hello darlings! Today I have two beautiful lipsticks from Illamasqua to show you... I'm a big fan of Illamasqua products (even though I haven't tried that many) and I've been dying to try their lipsticks for a really long time. Since I was (and still am) in my 'nude lips' faze I had to get a nude shade but I also got a more everyday, mauve shade. Both are from their Glamore line, not their 'regular line and I got them on BeautyBay in case you're curious. ;)

Both lipsticks come in a gorgeous black rectangular packaging (typical for Illamasqua). The bullets don't have much weight to them but still feel really luxurious. The formula is super opaque and very creamy and that's precisely why you need to spend a few more minutes applying them. They're certainly not your 'slather on and go' kind of lipsticks, you need to take your time and do it right. Upon first application both seem to really emphasize fine lines and any dry bits but all you need to do is smooth them out with your finger and all that goes away, leaving a beautiful finish. Staying power is amazing since the formula isn't too moisturizing and seems to adhere to the lips very well.

Rosepout is described as a neutral pink-brown shade and Minx as a warm rose. Rosepout is my favorite and I love pairing it with Clarins' Lip perfector in 05, but I absolutely love Minx as well - it's a very interesting shade, it's definitely a rose/mauve color but has a reddish-brown tint to it as well (even though it failed to show up in the swatch bellow).

I'm itching to get some more shades and I really need to try their blushes asap. What's your favorite Illamasqua product?
