THE ISAMAYA BEAUTY THREAD

[Mochapj]

In case anyone is looking for information about this new brand from Isamaya Ffrench, here are some swatches of the Industrial Colour Pigments eyeshadow palette.

The packaging is interesting but the figure that comes out of the lid is huge and would make this quite bulky to travel with. It also prevents the lid from lying completely flat on the table. And whatever type of plastic they used to make it is a dirt and dust magnet, which unfortunately mars the glossy aesthetic a bit.

Forgot to post my Core 1.0 swatches in this thread. 

Swatch order: wrist is the green on the far left side of the palette; from there, I swatched the palette in a clockwise spiral.

For me, the new Core case is much easier to hold and lay flat than the old Industrial case. Also easier to store, despite its shape; it’s much thinner and lighter than the Industrial case. I still like the old case (I have 2.0), but also like this new one. I know some folks were put off by the shape but, eh, kidney bean shapes have never bothered me. I mean, there’s a very large one in Millennium Park (Chicago), so… 🤷‍♀️

If I had the old 1.0, I’d do a side-by-side formula comparison. I haven’t used this palette on my eyes yet, but a couple shades had that very emollient feel when I swatched ‘em. I can tell some shades are meant to be used as toppers. And Core 1.0 seems to have more purples than Industrial 1.0, which is fine by me. If my eyes get out of allergy mode this week, I’ll give this palette a go.

The eyeshadow palettes are finally coming back. If you’re on Isamaya’s mailing list, you got early access at her site today.

Core 1.0: 

“A reimagining of the boundary-pushing INDUSTRIAL 1.0, combining iconic cult shades with four new pigments. Offering bold metallics, rich mattes, and multidimensional finishes. Designed for maximum creativity with upgraded, high-performance formulas.

CORE 1.0 showcases molten metallics, oil-slick duochromes, and iridescent shine.

Designed for unrestrained artistry, these pigments can be blended, layered, or foiled for multi-dimensional payoff.”

Core 2.0: 

“INDUSTRIAL 2.0 rebooted, featuring 14 bestselling shades in luminous, crystalline pigments that shift and shine with every angle. Smooth, blendable, and endlessly versatile for creating subtle moments or full-impact looks.

CORE 2.0 celebrates soft patinas, shifting chameleons, and elevated metallics.

Designed for effortless creativity, these pigments glide on seamlessly to create luminous, refined looks that feel modern, intriguing, and endlessly versatile.”

I don’t remember which Industrial 1.0 shades were problematic, but I assume those are the ones that have been replaced in Core 1.0. Also not sure if the entire palette’s been reformulated or just those 4 new shades. 🤔 I haven’t poked around social media platforms for more info yet. If someone else has, let us know! 

Let’s compare Core 1.0 to Industrial 1.0:

The lighting of the two swatch photos seems slightly different. I mean, the palette photos I can see which shades are probably the same across both palettes, vs. the swatch photos where more than 4 shades look possibly different. 

Regardless, I now have Core 1.0 coming my way (I had a $25 discount code). I already have Industrial 2.0 and I’ll say that palette’s a lotta fun if you like sparklies. ✨

I demand swatches and thoughts on these ASAP 🤓 I'm probably waiting until the spring sale for these but I need to know!

[haleyvvvv]

I am so excited!! I am definitely getting the concealer at some point (the packaging aesthetics!!) I hope the rest of the other lines come to Sephora Canada. I haven't been able to pick anything up because annoying to order from the UK, but I've had the palettes and *that* lipstick on my wishlist for years.

[haleyvvvv]

So I was watching a YouTuber and saw that actually she's getting rid of her older collections (I knew some were retiring but wasn't expecting a full range behind the vault). So I caved and ordered a lipstick from selfridges since it was still in stock there because I'm a 🤡

[curlychiquita]

Wow, I didn’t realize this was coming, @danielledanielle!

[danielledanielle]

Me neither...and with leaks, spoilers and everyone wanting to know everything, I'm surprised when I'm surprised @curlychiquita 

[ChristalM]

Oh man I wish we get this in Canada.,...don't seem like it however 😞

[ChristalM]

WAIT IT IS UP FOR CANADA! I want all the lip products! LOL

[sococo]

Hey, where are you seeing it available in Canada? It doesn't come up when I search on Sephora and their website is still US/Puerto Rico only outside of EU. I JUST bit the bullet and ordered two of the Liplacqs to try as I'm new to Ismaya and already obsessed before I get my first order lol I hate ordering from far away and rarely do it but Cult Beauty comin' in clutch

[ChristalM]

@sococo it was up sadly now all the products are gone 😞

[sococo]

Daaang their stuff gets snatched quick lol. Well I'll keep a closer eye on it I didn't know they sold through Sephora. On a side note my lip glosses are AMAZING the Ultraviolet totally replaces Fenty Lavender Savage that they won't bring back lol and Beetle is LIT. Excited to see what else Ismaya does!

[haleyvvvv]

@sococo @ChristalM I saw on Reddit it's coming on Feb 18 for 🇨🇦, so I think it'll be back up soon 

[makeitup305]

I couldn’t resist Industrial 2.0. Despite my best efforts, the pictures don’t do these justice. They are sooo sparkly in the sun.

My look today- They apply super smoothly! (Yes, I did a
