What are they?

Kontrol is blue violet matte lipstick, and Violate is dark green shimmer lipgloss, both from Illamasqua’s new Theatre of the Nameless collection.

They Describe them as:

Kontrol: Let your lips speak volumes. Indulge in colour-intense lipstick with a highly pigmented formula, available in a choice of flawless finishes, from matt to glossy.

Overall Opinion:

Kontrol: I love Illamasqua’s lipsticks. I own five or six of them, and so far only one (Disciple) has been a small disappointment being a bit dry when applying. Others have been awesome.
They are dry, but creamy and easy to apply. Colors are awesome too.
Kontrol is deep, a little grayish matte purple.
I know I’ll be using a lot in my wilder looks!

Violate: I own two intense lipglosses and one sheer lipgloss from Illamasqua, and I’ve always though that the sheer would mean it’s sheer :D Well I guess it really means it, but I really put this to the intense category rather than sheer. It’s dark poison green, not the color you choose for your daytime look.

It’s also pretty hard to apply, I guess since it’s ‘sheer’, it isn’t opaque, but when it’s such a bold color, the result should be quite transparent.
I haven’t really figured what should this be worn with, that it would look good, but I guess I’ll think of something ;D
