Illamasqua Dystopia Collection
Pre-orders for this collection started on 9/7/09 and the release date for sometime this Fall. I don’t know. I should have checked, but anyhow, I can’t afford it. What I would like to get from this collection is the Liquid Metal shadow though – I love the texture and how this product goes on my skin – lovely. I have yet to get the two Liquid Metal shadows from the Sirens collection, but I will get them.
I watched a few gurus on YouTube do some Dystopia and Dystopia-type tutorials and although most are not wearable in daily, regular life…I found them interesting anyway (of course). The best tutorial was made by Sam from Pixiwoo (love both Sam and Nicola equally – subscribe to them). Sweet!
I wanted to post these promo images of the new products from the Dystopia collection from the Illamasqua site onto my blog because I love how their product images are photographed/enhanced and I love their whole message to tell you the truth…”makeup for your alter ego”. It truly is. Love love love…*singing*
Illasmasqua at Sephora!
I and everybody else found about this amazing news on July 11, 2009, but I wanted to reiterate it here on my new blog because it belongs! I am very excited about this. I am really dying for those two Liquid Metal eyeshadows from their Sirens collection and few of their nail varnishes. I haven’t ever seen an Illamasqua product in real life let alone wore it, but I have been hearing great reviews about this company. I am so happy to announce…after it has been announced already (lol)…that Sephora.com and the Sephora store at Times Square in NYC will be launching their first set of Illamasqua products next week ! Yay!
What’s exactly on my list?? Here goes…
Illamasqua Solstice Eyeshadow from the Sirens Collection
I also want this eyeshadow in the color “Enrapture as well. These are the two main products I want from Illamasqua. I will also pick up a few nail varnishes as I’ve stated before. I am so very happy! Illamasquas comes to Sephora. Sweet!

My New Makeup And Skin Care Blog!
As all first posts to new blogs go (as I did with the first posts in all of my other blogs) is to do an introduction post as a way of starting off on the right foot. So, here is my beauty resume.
INTRODUCTION
Hello! My name is Tanya aka Sass aka blacKandi (pronounced Black Kandi) and I am the beautiful owner of this new blog called, “Properly Made Up”. The subjects of my makeup and skincare blog will only cover my own personal experiences with makeup, giving makeup reviews, talking about my makeup collection, sharing my makeup / beauty hauls and discussing makeup storage. Sweet? Totally.
EXPERIENCE
I love makeup and although I started wearing makeup when I was 30 years old (last year) I think that I have come a long way from that “plain girl”. Being the plain girl is great and I am not knocking it at all as I go out natural all the time, but I found that it was time for me to start covering up my imperfections (now that I am getting older) and that’s why I wear makeup…TO COVER UP MY IMPERFECTIONS and not to hide how I really look from the World. It makes me feel better to know that my appearance is on the money which gives me more confidence when I am out in public. I love playing with different brands of makeup and I am not brand loyal at all. I will try out high end to cheap products that are NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS. I am not a PETA member or animal advocate, but I love all animals. I only buy makeup that I know I’m going to use. I do not collect makeup, I collect Disney Pins and inspirational quotes only. 
I started out with Bare Escentuals (BE) because well, it is easy to apply and since I was a beginner in makeup it was the best decision I made for myself. BE has a lot of starter kits so that was great for me at the time and I urge all beginners to the “Makeup World” to start there on the high end. I love BE and it is my favorite makeup brand of all time. I love mineral makeup and since I’ve learned how to keep the mess it makes minimal I’m really loving it. E.L.F. cosmetics also has starter kits for beginner or for those who want to try out their products that sell for close to pennies if you want to start out on the low end. I also love MAC, Stila, NYX, Urban Decay, Smashbox, Clinique, L’Oreal, CoverGirl, Yabi and those nameless mega numbered color palettes (ie. 88 palette and 28 neutral palette). I have yet to try out Illamasqua (I can’t wait), Benefit, Chanel and Nars.
EDUCATION
I don’t have any makeup or skincare education…not formally. I use products and if I like them I keep using them and if I hate them I dump them. That’s it!
SKILLS
Although I have not had any formal training in the makeup arts I do understand how to work with the basics of makeup. Everyday is a learning experience with me. Everyday I am trying out new looks and new products (through sampling) so I hope you will all take this journey with me. I am going to have a ball showing you what I can do.
