I mentioned a while back that I love the then still limited edition MAC additional dimension finish, as well as I was super excited when it was announced that they were making it permanent.  Today, I’ll swatch my collection of additional dimension items, which include eye shadows, as well as blushers as well as a bronzer: Extra dimension formula is described as a “liquid-powder hybrid” with most eye shadows having a shimmery surface – some do have more obvious glitter or frost.  They can be used dry or wet for higher intensity however I’ve never used them wet – I will have to try that eventually....

Today’s post is dedicated to Julija of Infinitely Awkward, and pays homage to fivezero’s megaposts.  In one of the comments, Julija asked me how numerous Illamasqua polishes I owned – I did a quick count from my inventory spreadsheet, and the answer was: 47.  (Correction, the number of distinct shades is actually 44, I purchased back-ups of certain shades which I will indicate with an asterisks) Arguably, Illamasqua are one of my all time favourites in terms of formula and colour selection.
