Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss in Frenzy and Petulant Swatches & Review
Illamasqua not only has killer nail polish colors, but they also have a great line of cosmetics, including some lip glosses called Intense Lipgloss.
After pining away for these for about a year I decided to try two of them out and I am pleased to say I really like them!
L to R: Frenzy, Petulant
These babies don’t come cheap or in very large tubes, but the do pack a colorful punch! The tubes are only 0.2 oz, which isn’t tiny but not huge either. The good news is the colors are very intense and you don’t need a lot of product to get the look you want. In fact I HIGHLY suggest you start with just a dab because too much will cause feathering, which is never a cute thing.
More good stuff! They are super glossy and non-sticky, whoo hoo! I am allllll about the non-sticky gloss, especially now that my hair is longer and I work in a super windy city. Long hair + sticky lipgloss+ wind= hot mess.
Frenzy
Frenzy is a dark, cool rose colored pink. Loving this one for more “mellow” days. It’s very wearable and pretty. More subdued than some of the other colors.
Petulant
Petulant is a bright magenta. This is HOT and totally gorgeous, especially for summer. It’s like melted, shiny pink candy.
This pic is my current Twitter pic and VERY Photoshopped, but it shows Petulant true to life.

See the bright shiny pink yumminess? So purty.
Overall:
I am very happy with these and definitely want to try more, though I really wish the prices were lower. If you check them out on Sephora you will only see 9 colors because Sephora doesn’t carry the entire Illamasqua collection. I hope that changes! If you go to Illamasqua’s site though they have over 20 colors.
Have you tried anything from Illamasqua yet?

Oooh pretty pretty
Hmm, these are a bit pricey than I would pay for lipgloss and for a smallish tube. But they do look really really pigmented and colorful; I definitely want to try it. If the quality is really good, I think it outshines five bad quality glosses.

They are so gorgeous! Too bad I’m much of a lippie girl… I might change after seeing these! What kind of applicator does it come with?
Hi Maggie,
It’s a slanted tube tip with small hole opening. I use a brush because it’s much easier than straight out of the tube (especially with a bright color).
Now that is some good news. Not sticky! I love MAC Lipglass but darn, sticky. Why is it so hard to make it not sticky? Love those two shades on you.
