Illamasqua Touch Intense Lipgloss Review & Swatches

This was provided to me by a brand for review but all opinions expressed are my own

Illamasqua Touch Intense

Illamasqua Touch Intense Lipgloss ($22) is what the brand calls a red with fine shimmer. I call it a must have! This beautiful shade has been available in the UK for a while but it recently launched just in time for Valentine’s Day with the Illamasqua I�m the One Collection at Bloomingdales.

Please if you’re a fan of red, GRAB this!

Illamasqua Touch Intense Lipgloss isn’t typically a shade I migrate too as I consider it a touch too cool for my skin tone. I like warmer reds to be honest.

This red is sizzling though and I’m completely hooked on it. Hooked enough to grab a back up! I was thinking of combining it with Urban Decay Gash Lipstick and see what madness comes out of it.

It wears well for around five hours on me without a single bit of stickiness or tackiness. It’s lightweight, with a slick feel and has a nice hydrating feel on lips with a high shine finish. Of course, I probably should mention the crazy pigmentation as it rocks an opaque finish on a single application and builds to pure vividness. Of course, it helps dramatically that it includes a lip brush for application because lord knows that’s so helpful to build with. Sponge applicators are great but can be super annoying sometimes!

It does have a slightly fruity flavor that’s quite pleasant to my mouth but sensitive users but not love it.

This is the first time I’m trying Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss and Touch has made me want to indulge in several more shades. The pigment, the texture, and the finish make for a beautiful quality gloss that earns a spot on my HG (holy grail) list.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.
