Illamasqua Fall 2010 Collection - Art of Darkness

Illamasqua is known as the brand that provides makeup for "your alter ego" so I am expecting very deep, dramatic shades from this company for this fall collection. I have already been experimenting with more dramatic (for me) lip colors so I want to see what my alter ego will be wearing on nights out this fall.

Illamasqua states, "Deep in an enchanted forest, the scene is set for a sumptuous feast. The chosen have arrived. Where this night will end no one knows. Not even death is inevitable. Lured by the promise of immortality, a host of fantastical beings try their hand at creating the ever-elusive Elixir of Life. The resulting potions dazzle the eye and ensnare the senses; a beautiful array of jewel-like substances. They may not deny mortality, but they do make the theatre of life a more colourful stage on which to play. It's a melting pot of individuals, where ideas are exchanged, and new ones created. A surreal gathering from which the guests might never awake. Which is why this night can never end, and the game must be played for eternity. So take your place at the table and let the banquet begin. This is the Art of Darkness". Intense...

Here is the collection...

4-Liquid Metal Palette 02 - Containing the three new stunning Liquid Metal shades for Autumn Winter, complemented by the intense gold of Solstice, this indispensible palette is the perfect way to experience the lavishness of Art of Darkness. Apply with fingers or a brush to eyes, face, and body, to dazzle and delight.

Art of Darkness Nail Varnish Set - Containing the new shades Scarab and Viridian, plus best-selling shades Phallic and Boosh, this set is a must. As well as a great saving, you'll enjoy beautifully bejeweled nails all season long. So follow The King's example and don't deny yourself. Hardwearing and chip resistant, apply two coats for intensity and use with Illamasqua Nail Base Coat and Illamasqua Nail Top Coat for the perfect finish.

False Eye Lashes No. 26 - Illamasqua's most daring lashes to date, these feathered creations will add unmissable impact to any look, regardless of gender. Individually handmade and wonderfully soft, they're a true work of art.

I think that this is my favorite collection of this whole season, I am in love! My favorite product is the one that I have pictured, the 4-Liquid Metal Palette and I also love the Hermetic shade of Intense Lip Gloss. I am also craving both new shades of Nail Varnish, the new shade of the Powdered Metal, and both Precision Inks. I think my alter ego is ready to come out this season...
