Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss in Move: A Fun Alternative to Pink

May 29th, 2010 by Karen 26 Comments

Where do girls who have a hankering for bold, full-coverage glosses go? Well, to Illasmasqua, of course! Their full-coverage Intense Lipglosses dress lips in some of the most opaque, intense colors in the beauty biz.

Last year I fell in love with bright pink Frenzy, but these days I’m all about Move, a creamy purple.

As much as I love pink glosses, there are always those days when I feel like shaking things up, and that’s why I like Move. I think it adds a fresh twist to eye looks featuring blues, purples and grays.

One of nine colors in the Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss line ($19, available at Sephora), Move is thick but not sticky, and it wears for about six hours on me if I’m careful. It can be a little drying, however, so I slather on a rich lip balm before I hit the haaay at night if I’ve worn Move during the day (to counteract the effect).

Even though Move is on the expensive side, I think it’s a fun shade for day or night. If purple lipgloss sounds a little odd to you, you’re not alone; I had no idea it could be so wearable until my BFF gave me a tube. Try it sometime! It is an unusual color, but I think it’s still totally wearable. Makeup and Beauty Blog Rating: A

Karen

    Ooooh, that looks amazing on you! I probably wouldn’t have touched a purple gloss by myself but I guess you just really have to find your shade in every color. =)

      You’ve got to! Be sure to peep the cream blushes, too, ’cause they are faboo.

      When are you coming to the US and where are you going?

    That’s so pretty!
    I’ve always walked by the Illamasqua display wanting to get one of the glosses, but the tube was always kind of a turn off. I think I should set aside my packaging woes and get one of these. 🙂

      It’s long and skinny and I’d prefer a doe foot applicator, but as for as tubes go it’s not too bad. At least you don’t have to put your fingers in a pot, ya know?

    I tend to go for purple and mauve lips instead of pink so I’ll need to check this out. I’ve been trying to get into pinks thinking it would give me a softer, more girly looks but a lot of them make me feel a little too Barbie. I was sooooo looking forward to Lazy Days and it was awful on me. All of the lipsticks were. So sad.

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
