Inglot--Lipsticks


I purchased two lipsticks from Inglot (I would have purchased more, but the display can be SO overwhelming).  These both have a very smooth, almost slick texture.  At only $12, I think the quality of these lipsticks is very much on par (if not above) with the others in the mid-high range.

You'll Bat an Eye (Lashes!!!)

I've added a new set of lashes to the "Lash Vault."  I have to say…Mink Lashes might be my new thing!  I'm also SUPER in love with this site called Madamemadeline.com.  It has a TON of lashes and the shipping is EXTREMELY fast!  (and did I mention the COST IS EXTRA LOW?…AND it comes with freebies?!)

Inglot AMC Lipgloss


No, "AMC" doesn't stand for "All My Children," it stands for "Advance Makeup Components." And there's definitely something advanced about these glosses.  I almost didn't want to put them on here because the pictures just don't do them justice!  They have this amazing iridescent, holographic effect that's just hard to describe.  They look different in every light and the effect changes based on how you layer it over lipstick or on your bare lips.  I've tried to capture the effect in pictures, but just TRUST that if you order these, you'll love them.  I bought two while on my NY trip, and I've already ordered another one (#541).

By the way, these are very slick, almost slippery on the lips (they feel slightly slicker than MAC's Cremesheen glosses).  I love the fact that they actually have GREAT staying power despite not being the slightest bit sticky!  Each gloss costs $16:

*Two notes about these pics: 1) the holographic effect just can't be seen in the pics, but it is THERE! 2) Please excuse my skin's oily, crunchy appearance! LOL, I've been trying out this tinted moisturizer by Bobbi Brown and it is NOOOOOT working out!

Swatches and other views after the break…

Inglot Nail Polishes

I love these!  I need more polish like I need a hole in my head…and I don't need a hole in my head!  But while I was under the spell of the vast Inglot nail polish display, I allowed myself to be sucked into buying one…okay, FOUR!  But at least they're all gorgeous!  The formula is the perfect balance of thick and runny…not so runny that it's watery, but not so thick that it's "clumpy."

Like I've said before, I'm not to good with typing out a whole lotta words on these posts, so feel free to ask any questions you may have!:)

Inglot's "Nail Enamel" goes for $10 each:

(as for my cuticles and rush paint job…don't judge me, LOL)

This kinda reminds me of Punky Brewster!

Inglot Haul

"I HAVE LOST MY DARN MIND!"  Seriously, that's what I was thinking when I visited the Inglot store in NYC and looked at the total on the receipt: $275!!!  I will be making a series of posts with swatches and info on my purchases.  As you all know, I don't like to be too long-winded in my posts, so feel free to ask questions if you have any:)


False Lash Database-New!

Now that I'm starting to get the hang of actually applying these tricky accessories, I've been combing the Internet for more and more variations of false lashes.  I've been buying different brands and different styles left and right!  I will admit that I haven't been using them as frequently as I should, but I'm trying to get better about that!

One thing I noticed as I searched the Web for lashes is that sometimes it felt like shooting an arrow in the dark: I had no idea of what I was aiming for!  Most pictures just show the lashes attached to the plastic container, not what they actually LOOK like on human eyes!  That's when I got the idea to start keeping track myself!

I've actually added a tab on my blog to keep track of false lashes so I can know what look I want to go for, as well as share that info with someone else who might be looking for False Lash pictures! (Don't get too excited, though; I JUST started the page, so there's only one on there;))
