'Tis my very first Illamasqua review! I've had a few bits from them and wish to share with you, today it's their lipstick in Shard - featured in the Sacred Hour collection debuted a few months back.

It is described as a red violet with a matte finish. Unlike multiple comments about Illamasqua lipsticks being dry and hard to apply, I find this particular one quite creamy (given you use a lip brush for perfected application) and long-lasting (around 3-4 hours with eating and drinking but only the inside part of the lips are faded). It's not terribly drying, but it's recommended that you prep your lips well before applying as all matte finish tend to cling onto dry patches and use a lip brush to apply. It's a very versatile product as you can use it lightly as a stain or build up to full intensity.
Below you can see the stain it leaves after being wiped off quite vigorously.
