I won!!! Illamasqua Brushes!!




I entered the Illamasqua brush contest that was held on Twitter, not expecting at all to win. Then, during my lunch break on Tuesday my phone went absolutely bonkers with messages from Twitter congratulating me on winning the contest! They turned up at work yesterday and they are absolutely gorgeous brushes!



They each came in a little pouch, all wrapped up in black tissue paper. And I'm loving the visuals for the Body Electrics collection, I just wish I could get to a counter to check it out.

They're all synthetic and feel very, very soft. I can't wait to start using them, I just need to give them a wash first (I always wash new brushes before use just to take off any dust or loose fibres, plus as a microbiologist I don't want to think about other people's hands touching them).

I've already been asked by an absolute load of people to review them, so I will! But which do you want to see reviewed first?

  4. Congrats! I own the Blusher Brush #1 and loooove it! It's perfect for liquid foundation and cream blush because it blends the products with absolute ease. So have fun with the brushes!
