I am very happy with my purchase from Inglot. Inglot shadows have no actual names just numbers. The letters before each name refers to the finish.
P-Pearl
AMC Shine-AMC Shine
M-Matte
DS-Double Sparkle

I only picked up Pearl and AMC Shine shades because those were the ones that caught my eye.
P440 is a light purple/lilac, AMC Shine 48 is a pink, AMC Shine 15 is peachy/pinky shade its so beautiful.
P419 is a olive green similar to mac's sumptuous olive, P418 is a deep green similar to Mac's humid but the texture is softer and better. P399 is a light pink, P402 is a light brown, P409 is a dark bronzey brown, P423 is a dark purple/brown, P434 is a gorgeous gray/silver

Nars, Chanel, Inglot Haul





Yeah....my no buy kinda went out the window. I picked up a couple of things from Nars, Chanel, and Inglot.
Nars recently had a voucher for $80 worth of merchandise for $50. I had a $25 credit so I ended up getting 3 things for less than $30 once tax was added. I picked up Nars Amour blush and Melusine eyeshadow duo as well as a single eyeshadow for my sister. I went to San Francisco yesterday because they added an Inglot counter at the Macy's and I really, really, really wanted to try out these shadows because I've heard so many good things about them. I'll do a separate post later with swatches. I actually got a lot of things from inglot. I made my own freedom system palette with 10 shadows, a picked up a mixing palette, a green concealer which I used today and like, a cream liner and one of their brushes. I really like how reasonable their prices are. From Chanel I got the Rouge Allure Lacque in Dragon. This is a beautiful red and I ended up picking it up because I heard it is being discontinued even though I've heard so many great things about this color. So excited can't wait to play with all of this makeup

Make Up For Ever Lipstick Review




Hello, today I will be reviewing MUFE's Rouge Artist Intense in No. 4. The RAI come in 50 shades for you to choose from and also come in a variety of finishes. No. 4 is a mat finish and I would not recommend it for people with very dry lips or who aren't comfortable with a matte lip. The color is a very pretty pink but you have to be careful and make sure that your lips are exfoliated and not dry because this will majorly emphasize any flakes you might have on your lips. The packaging is a very sleek square plastic tube. These lipsticks contain 3.5g of product and retail for $19 on Sephora's website.

Bobbi Brown Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer Review/Swatches






Light to Medium, Medium to Dark


semi blended

BB vs MUFE

blended
This is the first product I've ever used by Bobbi Brown and i have to say that i am loving it. I've never used a tinted moisturizer because i have oily skin and have always been scared that it would leave my face an oil slick. This feels very light on the skin and is perfect for summer months or when you just don't want to wear something heavy. This does not make me oilier throughout the day which is good. I also have acne prone skin and i have not noticed any breakouts related to this product. I like the consistency of the product, which is a very thin liquid, and the color i was matched to is perfect. i am somewhere around an NC 25-30, am usually medium something or another in any product i try and light-medium is the perfect match. medium is a lot darker. As for coverage it is very light, i have a lot of hyper pigmentation and this does not cover it up although it does tone done how harsh the pigmentation looks against my skin. I use this all over and apply hard candy glamouflouge with a beauty blender to cover up hyper pigmentation. I am almost running out of the one I have right now so I've already purchased a backup. All of Bobbi Brown's foundations are very yellow so it might not work out for those with pink undertones. In the pictures I've shown the light-medium with the medium to dark which is better suited for NC40's. I've also shown it next to MUFE Mat Velvet #35 which is another foundation I wear. On my hand they look very yellow and dark but they blend out nicely on the skin and are a perfect match.

Naked Palette EOTD



Just though I'd share my EOTD. This is a look I where a lot because its neutral, quick, and fuss free. I love to do this combination when I do winged liner or whenever I use colored liner. I wish my pictures had turned out better as sin is much more vibrant irl.

Products:
Mac Brule for browbone
UD Sin allover lid
UD Buck on the crease
UD smog and Darkhorse outer corner
MAC blacktrack fluidline
Covergirl Lashblast orange tube

Depotting Adventures





If there is one thing I don't like it's bulky packaging. I really like my Urban Decay Book of Shadows NYC but I don't like how the packaging is so cumbersome and unnecessary. I actually don't use these palettes so much because I end up sticking them in another drawer in my vanity and just forgetting about them. That's why I decided to depot my theBalm and the Beautiful palette as well as my UD BOS. It was actually very easy to do. I just took my eyebrow scissors and sticking it on the side of the pan in between cardboard and pan and pulling it out. Much more simpler than depotting MAC shadows for sure.
