REVIEW! | Illamasqua Androgen Cream Pigment

I'm a big fan of Illamasqua. Aside from the fact that I've been 100% delighted with every product I've ever bought from them, when it comes to creativity and artistry, I think they're amazing! Check out a few of their ad campaigns to see what I mean!

I've been intrigued by Illamasqua's cream pigments for awhile, and I finally broke down and purchased Androgen during their recent mega sale after seeing it on fellow pink enthusiast Victoria at In The Frow. Illamasqua's cream pigments typically retail for £17.50 (about $27.00 USD), but I picked up Androgen for £7.50 ($11.50 USD)!

I smoothed Androgen onto my cheeks using my fingers and it lasted all day without fading or creasing. Pigments can be used anywhere, including the lips and lids, but I prefer to use this one as a blush to add a nice warm pop of pink on my cheeks. I didn't love it on the lips as I found it a bit drying.

I love the sleek packaging, and the compact size makes it a great candidate for your makeup bag's new BFF! Androgen is a lovely bubblegum pink that warms up to a more coral pink when applied to the skin. Anyone who loves coral (ahem...Sunny...I'm looking at you!) should definitely check this out!

It's extremely pigmented so you don't need to use much to make it show up. The fact that this cream product held up in the midst of a muggy July day really impressed me, as I usually use powder products during the summer.

If you've been itching to get your paws on some Illamasqua treats, their sale is ongoing through July 29th (that's TODAY!) at 12:00 GMT, so get ye to their website! :)
