I haven't tried a lot, but what I have tried (all of 3 things) I'm quite impressed by. Katie blush is a must-have. I was hoping it might be a dupe to Chanel's discontinued Narcisse JC (I'm using the Euro) but it is way more pigmented, and a lot more lavendar once on the cheek; Narcisse has a bit of a glow to it, a much cleaner baby pink, and is less pigmented. Though they are completely different, and IMO, I'm justified in owning both, Katie is gorgeous. Loella polish is a pretty, bright but not neon, cool pink. Wear time is average; if you don't have to have Illamasqua, I'm sure you could find a cheaper dupe. Nubile lipstick - it's a little frosty, a baby-pink lavendar, but it's really fun for nighttime and not the standand nude lip. Not overly drying, leaves a really nice tint behind too. Definately not 80s-Magda-Frosty Lips of Doom, but might take some getting used if you've never worn a frost. I was most impressed with Illa's shipping. Reasonable charge (just around 9 pound) but it got here by regular, Royal Mail in just under a week and a half (to Toronto, Canada). I've had UO orders from the States take twice as long, so... mighty impressive.
