Illamasqua Throb - I'm the One Collection - Review & Swatches

*PR sample

 

Hello lovelies,

 

I don't know if you've noticed but Illamasqua put together a collection/set of products for this year's Valentine's Day. It's called I'm The One and the set contains nail polish in Throb, lipstick in Maneater, lip colouring pencil in Feisty and intense lip gloss in Touch. All products are, of course, red to transform you to a sexy vamp ;)

 

I'll be reviewing the nail polish in Throb...

Throb is not a completely new shade; it has been introduced in 2011 as a part of the Throb collection. The shade itself is perfect cherry red creme with cool undertones. It applied like butter - so smoothly and easily that I wish all polishes would be like this. Also the pigmentation was excellent and most of you will need just one coat if you have shorter nails but I applied two. The drying time was good and fast but I did apply fast-drying topcoat (HK Girl topcoat).

 

You guys know I love reds so this was like heaven to me. If you own just one red this would be a great choice mainly because of the flawless formula. Here are some beautiful promo pictures from I'm The One collection:

If you'd like to get your mitts on this beautiful polish or any other Illamasqua products you can visit their website (UK) or Sephora (US).

 

 

PS. Expect some Valentine's Day nail art with Throb soon ;)
