Inglot Lip Sleeks

As part of my Inglot haul last month, I discovered the "Lip Sleeks."  I love the way they glide on (pretty much as smooth as the AMC glosses, with almost no feel to the glittery bits!).  At only $10 each, I can't WAIT to buy more!

A More Perfect Union! (Armani Eyes to Kill Intense #19)

So what happens when you go on a "no buy" for makeup right before the holidays? You potentially miss out on a fantastic addition to your Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Intense shadows!!! This is what happened to me! Luckily I happened to be reading a popular beauty blog and spotted the three holiday colors that were released at the end of 2011: #17 (pretty, true 14karat-colored gold); #18 (sparkly, sterling-colored silver); and #19 (a true marriage of the two colors). So, at $32 each, I had some decisions to make! I decided on the #19 because it is the most unique and most gorgeous, in my opinion (plus it's like the best of two colors in one!). So, little did I know, everyone ELSE must have loved this color, too, because I couldn't find it ANYWHERE!!! I checked Nordstrom, Neiman's, Armani, even Bergdorf! No one had #19!! I decided to try my Neiman counter again because the first lady didn't sound like she knew what I was asking for...I'm glad I trusted my instinct! She said there were only two left. I decided not to be greedy and to leave one there for another lucky person on a wild goose chase like me;)

As far as the formula, you can link back to my review of these shadows here. I'm so in love with this color! When I pack it on, it gives an almost platinum-gold look. When I apply a more sheer touch, one can truly spot the individual gold and silver marriage!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

"It Takes Two" (Inglot Lip Duos)

Going along with my latest series of Inglot purchases, it's time for a product I haven't seen anywhere before (at least not with THIS level of quality!).  These duos come in a clear block; one half contains a long-lasting lip paint and the other half has a similarly pigmented gloss (basically one-off the paint color with shimmer).  One thing to watch is that when the block is in a warm environment, the paint can get a little "goopy" so be careful when dipping your finger/brush into it so that you don't take too much product.  The way the MUA explained it, the paint gives a nice, rich color and then you can use the gloss to "punch it up" if you want more "OOMPH."

Each duo costs $14 and I think they are WELL worth the price!  Feel free to ask for more information:)

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!

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)
