Glissade and Soaked Lipsticks from the new Illamasqua Glamore collection are satin finish lipsticks with high colour payoff- the formula in these is new, and distinct from the rest of the (mostly matte) Illamasqua line. The lasting power of both Glissade and Soaked is an incredible 8 hours (up there with the longest wearing lippies I’ve tried) through drinking and eating- mostly due to the tenacity of the colour stain on skin. If you apply these, and change your mind at the last minute about wearing it- too bad: you’re stuck with it all day (beauty bloggers note that you can only do one lip swatch per day for this formula).

I found these to be neither moisturising nor drying. They do apply evenly, with no catching on dry patches or settling into lip lines- so they are very wearable when your lips are in less than perfect condition(*waves*) .

Illamasqua Soaked lipstick is a bold tangerine orange with full opacity in one swipe. It is similar in colour to Illamasqua Ignite lipstick- Soaked is more opaque and is slightly more creamy coloured.

Illamasqua Glissade lipstick is grape- fuschia pink with medium to full opacity in one swipe, opaque in two. It is similar toned to Illamasqua Magnetism (and similar texture and colour payoff), but lighter and pinker.
