St. Patrick's Day Look #1

Hey you guys! In honor of this coming St. Patrick's Day, I've decided to post a couple different looks I've created for this weekend. Since green is my favorite color, I haven't decided if I want to go for a subtle smokey-ish look, or a loud as hell green! Sooooo..... here is the tamer of the two looks I'm debating on. I'll probably be adding some lashes for more effect also! Check back soon for my "bright" idea with look #2.

Forget Carmen San Diego... WHERE in the world is my INGLOT order!?!?

Sorry I've ben slacking on the blogging, but if it's not one thing it's another. First it was just me being crazy busy, then it was my laptop crapping out on me... but it's fixed and I'm ready to dive back into this blogging game :-)

Now...

I placed this order April 15th, and more than a month later... still NO Inglot! No email stating my choices were backordered or anything. So finally, after looking at my calendar and noticing how much time had passed, I call the company to figure out WHERE MY MAKEUP IS? And lo and behold, it turns out my order was somehow overlooked and never even pulled! Normally I would be a bit pissed, seeing as though my cc was charged but I never received my order, but the customer service woman was SO professional and apologetic. I mean Inglot truly has some great customer service because not only did she make sure my order was pulled and shipped that same day, she also upgraded my order to OVERNIGHT shipping AND refunded the initial shipping fees I paid. So by 10 Am the next day, I had a box full of Inglot (including some nice samples) on my doorstep.

So worth the wait. I got 17 shadows and a few palettes: the 10, 5, 3, and 2 pan palettes. My only complaint is that the 3 and 2 pan palettes DO NOT stack/adhere to the 10 pan palette at all. No matter how I place it, the magnet just does not attract.

Swatches will be up soon!

INGLOT Haul SWATCHES/REVIEW

 

After playing with my products, I finally got around to swatching my Inglot haul this afternoon. And let me say, that I do not believe that there is a single gel liner on the face of this earth that can hold a candle to those produced by INGLOT! Not only do these things swatch creamy and true to color, but they have a RIDICULOUS staying power!!! I literally had to scrub my arm after I did these swatches with a textured eye pad full of waterproof makeup remover... and still had traces of #87.

INGLOT GEL LINERS: 73, 81, 87, 90 w/flash

 

INGLOT GEL LINERS: 73, 81, 87, 90 w/o flash

I did not experience ANY irritation or flaking from these, even after applying on my waterline. I did however get some on my contact lens before it set on my waterline... which resulted in me having to change the lens in order to see, but no biggie.

As for the foundation, I was only able to try to AMC Cream foundation since the Mousse and powder were way too dark upon sight. I picked up MW200 and DW100, but right off the bat I could tell DW100 was NOT GOING TO WORK (Might work more for a NC50). It feels so light when you apply it, and the staying power is so so in my opinion, but it blends flawlessly. MW200 is a bit dark for my face, but it blends so seamlessly and evens my skin out so that there is not such a huge color difference between face, neck and body. I really fell in love with this foundation.

AMC CREAM FOUNDATION MW200

 

(UNBLENDED)

I have seen reviews on this product, stating it was full coverage, and I can't see how. It applied more light to medium for me, but is surely buildable. When I paired it with the concealers it gave a flawless finish. But the cream face concealer dries fast, so you have to blend it pretty quick or risk looking spotty. As for the undereye concealer, I feel the consistency is too watery for my liking, and it creased like CRAZY! I preferred to use the regular cream concealer under the eye, as it offered a bit more coverage AND actually made it look brighter!

The last item I was able to try out was the Inglot Slim Gel lipstick in shade #42 (far right in above photo).  I LOVE the consitency and texture of this lipstick. It reminds me of MAC's Slimshine lipsticks, only better. And I say this because it is a bit drier than the MAC lipstick, which offers a better staying power, yet still giving that creamy/moist look. And although I said it's drier than MAC's slimshine, PLEASE do not believe this to be a dry lipstick, because it is not. It simply is not as creamy/slimy as the slimshine applied, and isn't so soft you feel it might break when you apply it.  I will definitely be picking up more shades in this product.

Hope you enjoyed my 1st Inglot haul... I feel another one coming on soon!

Quick Rave and Giveaway update!

They done went and messed up now! lol

I got my order from Inglot this week, and I have been in absolute makeup bliss since tearing open my box like it was my "birfday!!!!" I picked up a few foundations (two of which were obviously too dark and will be going back... along with the next item), a pressed powder, a lipstick, 2 concealers and 4 gel liners.

I have been waiting for this company for my whole life LMAO... but really, I am so smitten with the quality and range of these products. The gel liners... how should I put this, if they were a man... I'd marry them! They are sooooo creamy and soft, pigmented, easy to apply AND I have found them to have great staying power once set. My latest obsession, I will most likely pick them all up at some point.

In depth review, with pics and swatches coming soon!

Also, I've enjoyed reading your giveaway coments... keep 'em coming! Remember, you have until 11:59 PST on the 31st to enter!
