Hey there!

Today’s post was requested by a reader via email. She wanted to know if there was really any difference between Illamasqua Scorn and Cult Nails Fetish. They are both black shades and classified as mattes, so let’s check it out.

Judging from the bottles alone you can’t see any difference. Both are super black cremes with a matte finish. You don’t use a base coat or top coat with either, if you want the full texture effect they are meant to have. Both are two coats for complete coverage.

Illamasqua Pink Raindrops came out awhile ago but I just got my hands on it.

This is a cool-toned pink with pink and gold iridescence and subtle silver/white flake glitter.

Illamasqua Lipsticks come in a bevy of shades and since so many, if not all of them are now at Sephora, I wanted to pick up a couple more. I think I only had one until recently and that will just not do.

Both of these shades are blue cremes. Not only are the formulas excellent, as Illamasqua nearly always is, but the shades are just so darn pretty. Especially if you are a periwinke and/or robin’s egg blue fan, which I definitely am!

Illamasqua Cameo and Noble are two new nail varnishes exclusive to Sephora.

I recently placed an order (Illamasqua only order!) and of course, these were high on my list.

Cameo is a periwinkle creme and Noble is a bright robin’s egg blue creme. I’ll be doing a full review and swatches soon, but for now I thought I would show you a fun mani I did with them.

These two shades on their own are some of my favorite kinds of shades to wear but together, they are even more awesomer! Yes I know that’s not technically a word.
