Illamasqua Spring / Summer 2010 Collection - Body Electrics

If you weren't already convinced that there's a conspiracy against Canadians then the Illamasqua makeup line should make it very clear to you.  Weren't we all thrilled last fall when we learnt that Illamasqua was going to be making its way to Sephora? - I figured that even if it didn't appear in our stores we would at least be able to order it online.  Nope, for some unfathomable reason, it is one of those brands that Sephora won't let Canadians order.  There are other brands that we also get screwed on but they are usually skincare lines and I can only assume that there is some ingredient in those products that are on the Health Canada no-no list.  I can't imagine what could be in makeup that Health Canada would take issue with, but there you go!  Take heart, Illamasqua is still available on their website and they will ship to Canada!

If you haven't already checked out the Summer collection you really need to hop to it, lots of the products are limited edition!
