INGLOT: NEUTRAL EYE WITH A POP OF COLOR

One day I was lurking on Makeup Alley and I heard about this company called Inglot Cosmetics. So I took a look at their website, www.inglotcosmetics.com. I about drooled all over my keyboard. Everything looked so good. And the prices were pretty good too, in line with MAC. Plus they had what they call the Freedom System. With the Freedom System, similar to MAC’s pan system, you buy pan shadows, lipsticks or blushes, put them in a large magnetic holder and you have palettes. Inlgot now has a 40 pan Freedom palette! Also, their Freedom System is incredibly inexpensive! If you look at the amount of colors they have, you will be amazed. The shadows cost $5.00 each for the Freedom System. The palettes vary but a 20 shadow palette is $20.00.

Inglot was started over 25 years ago by a chemist who was doing R&D research for a pharmaceutical company. He wanted to produce high quality products that had good prices. I must say that he met his goal. Inglot is now available all over the world. I order from their store in New York at the Chelsea Market Building. Sometimes they are hard to reach via email but when you order online the order comes in a timely manner.


For this look I wanted to do a neutral eye with a pop of color. I love neutrals and I love purple, so I thought that would look great together and really bring out the green in my eyes. The hard thing about the Freedom System is that once the shadows are in the palettes they are VERY hard to get out! I am wearing Pearl 399 (shimmery medium taupe) in the crease. Defining the crease I am wearing Pearl 452 (shimmery reddish brown), I then used this color on the outer edge of the lid and underneath the eye. On the lid I used Pearl 441 (bright shimmery purple) and under the brow AMC Shine 29 (shimmery, glittery pink). Lining the upper lid I used Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner in #8, shimmery purple. My mascara is MAC False Lashes in Black.

I used Inglot products on my cheeks and lips today too. Their blushes and lipsticks are also particularly good. My blush is AMC 57 (shimmery pink). AMC stands for Advanced Makeup Components, these run a little higher in price, $14.00. I looked on the site and it doesn’t explain what AMC really means but I am assuming that the product has extra shimmer or glitter to it. On my lips I am wearing Lipstick 413, a Matte Light Pink, $12.00. I find it a little drying on the lips. I prefer their other lipsticks, which are phenomenal in color and texture.

I am really happy with the payoff and pigmentation of all the products I have tried in the Inglot line. I have pigments, blushes, liquid liners, eyeshadows and lipsticks. The eyeshadows go on like butter! I highly recommend this line to anyone, whether they are just starting out with a makeup collection or have a collection already. You will not be disappointed.

NEED A HOLIDAY GIFT? TRY THE LORAC BEJEWELED GIFT SET. GUARANTEED TO MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY!

My two favorite things rolled into one, a great value and a large palette. Can you imagine how happy I am right now just having this in my possession? Just for the eyeshadows alone I am jumping up and down (as much as I can) with joy. This palette retails for $56 at www.sephora.com.

The top opens to reveal a bronzer and two lipglosses: peach and rose. Then there are two drawers, each containing an eyeshadow palette with an eyeliner. The Day shadow palette has sixteen shadows and one blush and a brown eyeliner. The Night shadow palette also has sixteen shadows, a blush and a black eyeliner. I have gone through all of these years and have never used Lorac products. Big mistake. These shadows are amazing in quality. Very soft and buttery, with good payoff. The blush is highly pigmented too. The eyeliner is also creamy in texture. I used the peach gloss and thought it was very pigmented with a lot of staying power. I can say that this is a worthy gift OR something you might want to keep for yourself…hint, hint.

 

Day Look with the Day Palette of Shadows:



On this swatch photo I took swatches of the first two rows of shadows, the blush, the peach lipgloss and the brown liner. For the look I used a shimmery mauve shadow in the crease, a shimmery copper shadow on the outer edge of the lid and under the eye. On the lid I used a very shimmery champagne color and then a light shimmery beige under the brow. I lined with Urban Decay’s liquid liner in Demolition, which is almost undetectable. For mascara I used L’Oreal’s Voluminous False Lashes in Black. On my cheeks I used the peachy blush from the palette. The Peach gloss was used on my lips. I must say, if all LORAC’s glosses are like this I will be using them in the future! The same goes with the shadows, very nice payoff and pigmentation.

 

I highly recommend this as a gift to any woman in your life, she will love it! Thanks, The Makeup Junkie…

Another Look With MAC Snowglobe Compact in Cool

I was so happy with the MAC Snowglobe Compact in Cool that I wanted to show another look I did.



Using the Snowglobe Cool Compact, I took Illegal Cargo (the light lavender) used it in the crease and under the eye close to the inner corner. Then I used Warm & Smoky (the shimmery blue) and used it on the outside of the lid and under the eye. I used the gorgeous Snowball (holographic white/green) on the lid and under the brow. For the liner I used Urban Decay’s liquid liner in Retrograde and MAC’s mascara in Opulash Black. My eyes look very open and the color of my eyes look very green today. Purple really does that to them.



On the cheeks I used Snowglobe Beauty Powder and on my lips I used a light brown liner with Double Spin Cremesheen lipstick. The colors in the compact are as follows: Snowball, Illegal Cargo, Idol Eyes, Wark and Smoky, Howzat and Set to Dance. For the swatches below I had to wet the first three to get them to show in the photo. The lipstick doesn’t show in the photo but looks great on my lips over liner.

 



 

The Snowglobe Compact (part of Ice Parade) is available at MAC counters and www.maccosmetics.com for $38.00. Double Spin (part of Glitter and Ice) lipstick is also available for $15.50. As mentioned before, this holiday collection is just great! I am so happy that I didn’t skip anything this year.

MAC HOLIDAY: GLITTER AND ICE AND ICE PARADE

Top of Snowglobe Eye Compact (Note Real Snowglobe!!!)












MAC Always over does it for the holidays. I feel like I have to take out a second mortgage to get all that I want. This year is no exception. There is a plethora of offerings that will satisfy just about anyone’s gift list. Personally, I am keeping them for myself. 

The actual Glitter and Ice collection is somewhat similar to years past, the tone is winter wonderland. I am a warm toned gal but I still love to put on the icy colors and play snow goddess with these products.





Soft Sable Lipstick



How Beautiful Beauty Powder



Snowglobe Beauty Powder



Let's Skate Paintpot



Eloquent Air Lipstick



Silver Skates Technakohl Liner



Double Spin Lipstick



Whirls and Twirls Lipstick






Shimmermint and Frozen Blue Mineralize Shadows



For Effect and Morning Frost Paint Pots



Hold That Pose Mineralize Shadow



Dressed to Dazzle (t) Pleasure Principle (b)






Glitter and Ice (t)She-Zam (b)



Fresh Ice (l), Hold That Pose (r), Snow Season (b)

All of the eyeshadows ($21.00) in the Glitter and Ice collection are mineralized (baked) and are beautiful but when worn dry they lack the staying power of the regular shadows MAC is known for. Too bad, because I really love these colors. Oh, well, I will wear them wet or over the paint pots ($18.50)! Two of the three paint pots have nice looks, Let’s Skate was used under one eye look and it did nothing for me. I got the lighter lipsticks ($15.50) and they are quite pretty. I am very happy with them. The two Beauty Powders ($24.00), Snowglobe and How Beautiful look okay on my skintone but I am pretty pale. I cannot see them on anyone much darker. And we come to the Dazzleglasses ($19.50). What can I say about them. I adore them. Always have, always will. One repromote, Pleasure Principle is my favorite because it is almost holographic in nature. Kicking myself for not picking it up sooner. All in all I am very happy with everything I purchased!






Cool Snowglobe Eye Compact







Top of Snowglobe Eye Compact (Note Real Snowglobe!!!)

As an early holiday present I was treated to the Snowglobe Eyeshadow Compacts ($38.00). There are two compacts, a warm and a cool. Both are quite nice. Each has six eyeshadows. Even though I love warm tones I am actually more drawn to the cool toned one this year. I am in love with purples and this compact is full of shadows that complement green eyes: mauve and purple tones.

Here are a few looks I did with various products from the collections:

In this look I am wearing (from Glitter and Ice) Hold That Pose in the crease, outer edge of the lid and under the eye, Snow Season on the lid and Fresh Ice under the brow. I lined with Silver Skates Technakohl ($16.00) liner on the lid, the usual Black Opulash mascara. My cheeks were shimmering with Snowglobe Beauty powder. Soft Sable Frost lipstick made my lips look alluring.




Fabulously Festive Facekit in Warm



Mellowarm Lipstick


For this next look I used the Fabulously Festive Facekit ($59.50) in Warm. It has four eyeshadows and one blush. I used Soft Brown in the crease, Omega under the eye and in the outer edge of the lid. Then I defined the crease with Carbon. Golden Flurry was used on the lid and under the brow. The blush, called Seasonal Appeal, was used on the cheeks and really brought out my cheekbones. In this kit there is also a lipstick called Mellowarm, which I used on my lips.

A really pretty look, surprisingly, came from the cool tones of the Snowglobe Eye Compact ($38.00) in Cool. The six shades can be worn in a number of combinations. I took the dark gray in the crease and then the shimmering blue on the outer edge of the lid and under the eye. The glittery silver went on the lid, while the ethereal white that flashes green under the brow. I also eased the look of the gray by using the shimmery purple in the crease. I used the Superslick Liquid Eyeliner in Noctural (shimmery silver) to liner my upper lid. Mascara is Opulash in Black. I used Snowglobe Beauty Powder. My favorite part of the look is the Dazzleglass in Pleasure Principle on my lips. Such a beautiful color. I feel like a magpie when I look at it!

As I mentioned earlier, and it bears repeating, I am very happy with everything I purchased. I feel like putting on a gray sweater, these colors and playing out in the snow! If you are interested in any of the above products, just head over to www.maccosmetics.com.
