Illamasqua Magnetism Lipstick & New Tattoo
Illamasqua ‘Magnetism’ Lipstick £16*
I’ve been enjoying trying out some of the products from Illamasqua’s Generation Q collection, so I thought I’d show you one of my favourites. This is their Magnetism lipstick, which is an intense deep raspberry pink. It’s not a colour I would usually go for, but I actually really like it… I guess that’s the whole point of Illamasqua! The formula is really moisturising and easy to wear which is perfect for a bright lipstick. I also really like the sleek, black packaging.
What do you think of this lipstick?

So I realise this is probably the first time you’re seeing my new tattoo, unless you watch my videos, then you’ve probably seen it already. I had it done at The Family Business in Exmouth Market in London. My sister had hers done there so I knew what they were capable of and I also like the people and how clean the whole place is. This is my 4th tattoo, but probably my favourite.
It says ‘new kid in town’, which is an Eagles song. I’m not gonna go into a whole explanation about it, but the band just means a lot to me, reminds me of my childhood and my family and it was also one of the songs that was playing when I was born (hippy birth!). I like the whole meaning of the song too.
They wanted me to bring in the font for them to do to avoid any back and forth changes, but after looking for months I just couldn’t find anything I liked. In the end after fluttering my lashes, the tattoo guy said he’d draw out a font for me. He was right, there was a lot of changes (I’m very particular) but eventually we created the perfect font and I love it! I told them I wanted it really thin and delicate and they did it just right. I had a guy called Fransisco and he was very patient with me. The Family Business also sell their own tattoo ointment, which is great because there aren’t many on the market and I don’t like using nappy cream or other recommended creams.
So anyway, that’s my tattoo. I can’t reply to comments on here so if you have any questions tweet me @lilypebbles
