Inglot!

I recently got my hair done at a local salon and to my surprise, they had Inglot makeup! I've never seen these products in person, so I was pretty excited. Inglot is known for their customizable eyeshadow palettes at a great price for being highend. I ended up getting two eyeshadows at $7.20 a piece, and a lip liner at $12. Since the eyeshadows are magnetic and don't come with packaging, I had to also buy a "Freedom System 2 Eye Shadow Square." This was kind of annoying, but I guess it makes sense when you have a lot of the shadows because you can pick and choose what goes in your palette. 



The first shadow I picked out is "31." It's a light, shimmery champagne color. Similar to All That Glitters from Mac, but a little more copper-toned. Great as an all over the lid shadow on its own. 








The second color is "423." This color is really unique and deep. Its a chocolate brown with shimmer and undertones of gold. Use with a light hand because this gets really dark really fast! 




Both shadows have a really great consistency. They glide on super smooth, don't get clumpy and are amazingly pigmented, especially 423. They lasted all day with a primer and stayed true to color to the moment I wiped them off my eyes. And I must say they looked really good together and blended flawlessly! 





The packaging is fantastic. I like that you can pop out the shadows and change what goes in the palette. The magnetic closure is really secure and so is the eyeshadow when you pop it in. I had to hit it on a table to have it fall out. It's nice and sleek as well. 


The last thing I picked up is a Soft Precision Lip Liner in number 62. This is a deep red color that seems to be really buildable. I wore it on its own one night to see how long it would last, and by the time I got home (4 hours max) it had pretty much worn off. So, although this is a really pretty color, the lasting power is pretty pathetic. I hadn't eaten or had anything to drink either, but I will say that it goes on nicely.



I definitely want to try more Inglot products in the future because for the price, they are a great buy! The salon had a ton of products from foundation to mascara to lipgloss and makeup wipes. They are known for their wide selection of matte shades but unfortunately were out when I bought these. Check out their website for their full range of products-- http://www.inglotusa.com/

Naked 3 Palette

THIS MUST BE A DREAM. Urban Decay is coming out with the NAKED3 PALETTE! Being the proud owner of both the Naked and Naked2 Palettes, I have to add Naked3 to the family. I mean she can't be left out, right?

Like the other palettes, this one comes with 12 shades. Yet, unlike the first and second palettes, this one is filled with way more peachy/rose tones. Still all neutral like the pervious palettes. Most of the shadows seem to be shimmery but there are 2 mattes. And supposedly all of the shades are new! All of them look seeeriously gorgeous and to me, Urban Decay is one of the best. Don't think that this is palette is just like the first two because it's not! The first palette has a different tone than the second and same with the third.

This one retails for $52 which yes, seems like a lot, but you're getting 12 shades and a double sided shadow brush. That comes out to about $4 per shadow, not including the brush. If you are a beginner with eye makeup, then any of these palettes would be perfect for you! You can create so many different looks and each shade is extremely pigmented and soft. I highly recommend!

This lucky lady got her hands on it so here is a link to her blog with swatches! Shoutout to xsparkage!


The packaging seems to be the same tin/plastic snap closure as the second palette


Be sure to sign up for emails here so you can be notified when the palette is released!

Wanted: Holiday Beauty Wish List

There are a ton of beauty and hair products on my Christmas wish list that I am DYING to test out, so I thought I'd share!

1. Dior Creme de Rose Lip Balm
This balm must be made of gold. It's $27!! Elle Fowler from AllThatGlitters21 absolutely raves about this and she has totally sold me. It's supposed to smell like roses and be smooth as silk. It has SPF 10 in it... That's a justification to buy a $27 lip balm... right?


2. Nars Guy Bourdin Holiday Palette
I already made an entire blog post on this, so I will link it Here
3. Nume Special Edition 35mm Curling wand. This wand is really interesting because it's flat and only has a little clip at the end. It's supposed to give more waves than curls. It's $175 from NuMe.com, but if you go to this YouTube page, Casey always has really good coupon codes for all NuMe products. They make the best curling wands and flat irons! 


4. YSL Rouge Volupte Shine
Another very expensive product that I wouldn't buy on a daily basis. This baby runs for $34... But let me tell ya, I used my friends once and it was the smoothest, tastiest, most beautiful lip product I have ever tried. Amazing color payoff as well, but if you blot it you can also get a really nice sheer shade. I must have my own. They have 19 beautiful colors. And come on, look at that packaging. To die for. 

5. Chloe Original Perfume
This is my #1 favorite perfume. I only have it in the roller ball though because the biggest size happens to be $120. Ridiculous, but it smells like heaven. I could never come up with this on my own, so heres what Sephora says: Top notes of pink peony, freesia, and lychee embody subtle freshness. At the heart, midnotes of magnolia flower, lily of the valley, and rose rise to sublimated femininity. A base of velvety elegance comes to fruition through cedarwood, amber, and honey. DELICIOUS. If you haven't smell this, you have to make a stop at Sephora immediately! Perfume gift sets also make great gifts!


6. Lorac PRO To Go Eye/Cheek Palette
This is always raved about on YouTube, so obviously I have to get my hands on it. It comes with two blushes, 6 shadows and a bronzer. It's great for traveling, not that I travel a lot, but whatever. Its... compact. It retails for $38 with a value of $210. I have never tried anything from Lorac, so I think this will be a great starter piece. 



7. The New Black Demi Lovato Set
Okay sooooo Demi Lovato is my absolute idol- fashion, hair, vocals, the whole package. And if you don't follow her on instagram (what are you doing with your life?) she always has the coolest nails done by Steph Stone who I believe created The New Black polish line. This set comes with a black polish and two different gold accent pieces to place on top of the black. So cool. I want. Heres a pic from Demi's twitter. 

8. MAC RiRi Her Coco Eyeshadow x4
I keep finding myself looking at the MAC RiRi collection and this is the thing I always go back to. This eyeshadow quad comes with 4 (duh, quad) shadows- all really pretty golden shades. MAC makes the absolute best shadows in the biz so this is something I have got to get my hands on.... BUT it's sold out everywhere so I'm going to have to do some serious hunting to get my hands on this one. 


9. Almond Coconut Souffle Body Creme
OH MY GOD. Almond. Coconut. Laura Mercier. What more do you want in life?! Laura Mercier is the shiz but it's like so expensive its stupid. This creme is $55, so obviously I wouldn't buy this on my own (broke college student with no job probs). This scent also comes in a body scrub, body wash, hand cream, etc. It smells so good. I'm about to put this at the top of my list. I can't wait to try this!! Let me know if you have!


10. Hannah Beauty Wall Cabinet
This wall cabinet from PB Teen would be great for my dorm room. I need a space to put my perfumes, jewelry, lotions, random things. It also comes with a mirror, so although this is not a necessity, it would be really nice to have. You could store makeup in here as well. It has three drawers and storage on each door. Really compact and great for storage! 

Those are my wish list items for Christmas. What's on your holiday must have list?!

PS- HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Wanted: Nars Cheek Palette




Today I got an email from Sephora about a new Nars Cheek Palette. AND I WANT IT. Nars makes such great blushes and they always come out with an amazing palette around Christmas time. This year's is called the Nars Guy Bourdin Holiday Collection Limited Edition One Night Stand Cheek Palette. Long enough name, Nars? It comes with all the essentials: Laguna (bronzer,) Deep Throat (blush,) Orgasm (blush,) Mistinguette (blush,) Goulue (blush) and Devotee (highlight.) They're all beeeeautiful. It's an online exclusive and limited edition, so if you want this I would get on it and fast because I know this will sell out quick. Definitely going to be on my holiday wishlist!
