I'm writing this review for Illamasqua Sheer Lipgloss in Torture from the Toxic Nature collection. It's described as warm coral peach on their website, but I find it almost neon orange while in the tube. At first I thought it would look ridiculous on me, but the outcome turned out to be a lot more subtle. I have to admit, I'm not a huge lipgloss lover. I mainly use lip balms, because the stickyness of the glosses bothers me. And this one is sticky. Not too much, but just enough to catch everything that flies by. It's quite long lasting though.
I also don't like the packaging. Squeezing tubes aren't my favorite. I'd love to see this in a packaging with a wand applicator. It would be so much easier to use. I just love some of the Illamasqua products and this lipgloss isn't one of those products. It's really nothing special. The price is very high though. I'd pass this one.

This was my first Illamasqua purchase and I am impressed! I bought "Enchant" and it is a lovely beige/brown. The color is pigmented, yet sheer enough that you can wear a lipstick underneath. The applicator is the best....it is a squeeze tube with an angled applicator.

My lips actually look fuller and plumped with this gloss! Never experienced this before even w/ glosses that promise plumping. The scent is noticable but not overpowering or sickening -ly plastic frutiy like most scented glosses. The texture is tacky, almost gel like with out being sticky. Very different texture than d/s glosses. I LOVE the packaging, both beautiful and practical the slanted tip applies way better than typical doe's foot or brush applicators. The downside: you don't get alot for the price. Made in Germany by British company. The color I got Torture (sheer peach) is very sheer and not too pigmented but very shiny, which was exactly what I was looking for.I would love to get more colors, but at $18 for 0.2 fl/7 ml, it is too dear.
