INGLOT- First impressions

Hope you are all enjoying a relaxing fun filled Sunday, I know I am. 

So as promised I am going to have a quick natter about my first impressions on Inglot cosmetics, its prices and is it really worth all the hype I have been hearing about. 100% honest.
Lets get cracking! :)

Recently I took a trip down to Mahon Point on a day off, and decided to go for a 'nose' into the relatively new Inglot store. OK so, I'm guilty when I say a 'nose' because that soon quickly turned into a full blown shopping spree, I went a tad bit crazy but I don't regret it.

''Life is short...buy the god damn makeup.''


Firstly I needed to stock up on a few essentials, such as a new full coverage cream based foundation (I'm super fussy when it comes to foundations) a pigment, a matte bronzer
(for my beloved contouring) a light concealer and a blush. All five products came to an amazing
82.50euro, I wont lie I felt like hugging the girl behind the till, I was like ''REAAALLLY?''
 Considering you would go into the likes of MAC or YSL, pick up two products and it easily coming to 60/70. Inglot is definitely up there with the likes of those expensive luxurious brands, more or less the exact same quality, except way more affordable. Making it achievable for young teens, students or moms to actually treat themselves every now and then- which is great! :)

The foundation- 
'YSM' (Shade '45')
A long lasting, foundation with mattifying agents. Provides a smooth, natural looking matte finish while leaving the skin radiant and comfortably plumped up.

My first impression of this foundation; it was far from full coverage, to me it was more light to medium coverage which I was kind of disappointed. So I mixed it with my beloved Vichy 'Dermablend' and adds a gorgeous golden colour,  nice consistency really compliments my other foundations. BUT to full coverage lovers I wouldn't recommend, however for those of you\ looking for a light weight foundation that stays put and has a matte finish 'YSM' foundation
is an ideal option for you guys.

The bronzer-
Freedom system 'AMC' bronzing powder (shade '75')
A matte pressed bronzing powder with intense colour payoff thanks to the treated pigments,
mica, and an excellent talc-free formula. The addition of hydrophobic compounds ensures it is long wearing and unaffected by perspiration or other moisture. Available in Freedom System, which is also Eco-friendly and come with re-usable palettes.

fell in love with this bronzer, the perfect contour product to set your cream concealer while perfecting that 'Kim K' contour. Glides on flawlessly and so smoothly, highly pigmented, so I usually tap some product off the brush before applying, as it is super build able, always remember less is more. Also an amazing transition colour that I tend to use alot when blending out eye shadows to give a soft smokey look. I loved the palette is came with, its actual cover is magnetic so protects the bronzer so you don't have to worry about it falling and cracking up into a million pieces (the worst!) 10/10 ladies, major thumbs up!


The pigment-
Body pigment powder 'Pearl' (shade 179)
Intensely pigmented powders that provide a powerful pop of colour that is durable and won’t fall off. Product can be used alone or mixed with other shades to customise colour. The delicate, oil-free formula ensures perfect application.

Only one word for Inglot's pigments....WOWZA!So richly pigmented, besides MAC I don't really know of any other prestigious makeup line that does such a gorgeous pigment.
I usually add this shade in the middle of my eye lid to create a 'spotlight' effect or in the inner corners of my eye OR I mix some of it into my liquid highlighter for super intense highlighted skin for nights out. Worth every penny.


The cream concealer
'AMC' Cream Concealer;
uses pigments and light diffusers to provide a soft focus effect. Enriched with vitamin E and A, this concealer can be blended and sheered out to be used as foundation.

I use this cream based beauty to highlight during contouring process, apply over foundation to under eye area in 'V' shape right up to temples, down the middle of my nose (to slim) centre of forehead, right under contoured cheekbones to emphasis the contour, cupids bow and middle of chin. I'm not going to lie this concealer has a very strange texture, almost waxy, but in saying that it stays put, blends like a dream, super moisturising and does not crease when set with powder.
It has multiple uses, I like to mix it into a baby pink or brown lipstick to create a more nude shade if I'm feeling like a nude lip. It also doubles up as an eyeshadow primer which is fantastic. Other shades include a green based concealer used to conceal any redness, fab for people who suffer from rosacea or acne. Over all, an unreal product.

 Last but not least, this pretty pink sparkly blush...

The blush-
Face blush (shade 36);
Classic face blush that adds healthy colour to ones face.
Rich formula allows smooth application and build able colour.

When it comes to buying blushes for some reason I always steer towards the sparkly pink shades so I couldn't leave this behind me. Again very pigmented so less is more because you don't want to look like crusty the clown either LOL. Also a gorgeous pink shade for blending out any purple eye shadows. 

So over all, a great first impression with these Inglot goodies I picked up, high quality, richly pigmented products that stay put. Guess all the hype about Inglot was definitely worth 
my while checking out.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday fun day.
Until my next blog post..thanks for reading guys.
