IMAN Cosmetics {BRAND REVIEW} plus WIN Iman Cosmetics products!

A few weeks ago I attended the Iman Cosmetics Event to preview their new range ‘Alter Ego’ which will be setting foot in South Africa from January 2016. Everyone has heard of Iman Cosmetics and most people – including myself – were under the impression that the brand was brand was directed mostly at women with darker skin. I have NO idea why I thought this, but I am definitely not the only one. Iman Cosmetics has been in the industry for over 20 years and has been a leading brand in the multi cultural beauty category.

Iman Cosmetics is currently being sold in Stuttafords stores, but I never gravitated to it as I wasn’t all that aware of their products. Fast forward to now and I am obsessed. That is all.

The range stocks the most incredible products which you NEED to swatch to believe! They have now brought out six new shades of lipsticks, four new shades of lipglosses, and a luxury contour trio kit.

The contour kit trio is extremely special in the way that it contains Iman Cosmetics three base skin colours in a powder form which can then be used to contour your face, nose, cheeks, jawline, and give you a bronzed glow.

The lipsticks are extremely  creamy. I am such a sucker for a matte lipstick but these may take my top spot from now on. The payoff is creamy, sheeny and sleek. HIGHLY pigmented and very gentle on your lips. The packaging does suggest you use it with a lip liner and also blot the lipstick once applies, but in all honesty I didn’t do either of those and it still looked stunning.

The new lipstick colours are; Babydoll, Rebel, Iman Nude (the revolutionary nude which suits all skin tones), Hipster, Drama Queen and Diva.

I have the lipstick in the shades Hipster and Baby Doll, and Baby Doll is my all time ultimate lipstick right now. I know I tend to say this a lot on my blog, but I have never used a lipstick as much as this one!

The Luxury Lip Shimmers are a gloss containing shea butter, chamomile and Vitamin E. There is also something in it that makes it taste delicious. Dangerous.

I swear, once you see these new shades you will swoon. The new shades are; Debutante, Socialite, Muse and Icon. And I want them ALL! I did end up with the shade Muse, and to tell you the truth everyone at the event wanted Muse! It is so creamy looking, it is sleek and, while it is quite thick, it is not sticky.

We were told that YSL once referred to Iman as his ‘muse’ and so she created this shade after him. Absolutely stunning.

All pictures attached are the old packaging. The Iman Cosmetics brand will have a super sleek new packaging as of next year.

AND NOWWW I have a very exciting little comp. You can win one of the Luxury Lip Shimmers in the shade Icon and two of the lipsticks in the shades Rebel and Hipster. I personally picked out all three of these items – they are stunners.
