Oooh it is so exciting when you come across something completely different to anything you have seen and felt before in beauty. Well it is for me anyway. The new Paranormal Palette from Illamasqua had me making ooohs, ahhhhs and yelpy noises because it has a completely unique texture that may actually be quite a challenge to describe!

When I first laid eyes on it I thought ‘plasticine’! It looks, and feels, soft and almost spongy and as Illamasqua puts it “it can’t quite decide if it’s a cream or a powder”. It literally melts under the fingers and feels super silky and soft as you apply it.
Here are some swatches for you:

It is kind of incredible and although it may look a bit scary and bright, I have high hopes of creating a really lovely wearable summer look.  It is long lasting and water resistant or ‘lifeproof’!
The Illamasqua Paranormal Palette costs £34 and it out on 30th April 2013. Stay tuned for my attempts with it!
