Illamasqua<\/a><\/strong> has released a new fantastic collection. It’s called Art Of Darkness<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Deep in an enchanted forest, the scene is set for a sumptuous feast. The chosen have arrived. Where this night will end no one knows. Not even death is inevitable.<\/p>\n

Lured by the promise of immortality, a host of fantastical beings try their hand at creating the ever-elusive Elixir of Life. The resulting potions dazzle the eye and ensnare the senses, a beautiful array of jewel-like substances. They may not deny mortality, but they do make the theatre of life a more colourful stage on which to play.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a melting pot of individuals, where ideas are exchanged, and new ones created. A surreal gathering from which the guests might never awake. Which is why this night can never end, and the game must be played for eternity.<\/p>\n

So take your place at the table and let the banquet begin.<\/p>\n

This is Art of Darkness.<\/p>\n

I love the whole concept of the collection. Everything fits together (as always with their collections). What I love the most, are the creatures\/individuals they’ve created. I can’t decide which one do I like the most. One of my favourites is definitely Jester. His lips, eyes … magically dark. Crazy!<\/p>\n

Move on to the products. There are various products included in the collection. We got some of them to review. Here they are.<\/p>\n

A little side note on this review. Maestra (me) is writing the review. Gejba kindly contributed some of the photos and short thoughts on the products, which I’ll include in this review. I’ll let you know which thoughts and photos are hers and which are mine. Confusing? Hope not. Just a little hint on how to easily find out which photos belong to Gejba and which are mine. In each of the photos there’s a watermark. In Gejba’s photos there’s “gejba” watermark – two squares with “gejba” writen. And in Maestra’s photos there’s the “maestra” watermark. Hope that’ll help you a bit.<\/p>\n
