When I look at this collection, I see a combination of brand new gifts for the season and some products and palettes that I have seen in previous collections. I believe that the two palettes in this collections were both from collections released earlier in this year and I loved both of them when they were first released. I agree with this company that they will also make fanstastic gifts for anyone on your list who loves dramatic eye makeup looks. I also see several different gifting versions of the sole fragrance from this company, Freak. I would love to see this fragrance available in all the Sephora stores as I have never smelled it and it is said to be very unique. I would prefer to smell it before I order it as the bottles are huge. Hopefully, I can smell it the next time that I get into the city and at the Fifth Avenue store where the full line of Illamasqua is carried.
And now to the gifts!

I am so tempted to order one of the Freak fragrance gift sets, this fragrance sounds like a fragrance that I would like and I love that the sets contains both a bottle of perfume and some great color products. My favorite of the sets is the Freak Gift Set, which also contains the Nail Varnish, Liquid Metal, and a Lipgloss. All of theose products are ones that I have tried and loved in the past and I like the shades that are offered with this set, I will have to convert the price in pounds to dollars and see how it compares and if it is worth me ordering this set from England. These sets are not on the Sephora website (at least that I can find) so I will have to order it right from the company.
What else do I really want? I want to order both of the Nail Varnish sets, I have wanted a bottle of Viridian for a long time right now (I ordered Rampage by accident and thought that I ordered Viridian and was very disappointed several months ago) and this is a great way for me to add more shades to my nail polish collection. The last item that I want for myself is the Lipstick Palette, I love these shades and I love Illamasqua lipsticks in general.
I am more finding products for myself in this collection, I haven't found any product that I would give as a gift. This is a hard company to give gift items from, all of the products and shades are very pigmented and dramatic and I wouldn't give them to anyone who hasn't tried their products before. In my group of friends, I am the only one that really uses products from this company. Only the Nail Varnish sets are giftable for the people on my list, a shame since this company has such amazing products.
