Glitter Done Right

Hello All! Its been a while since I've posted, but here I am again with a FOTD (Face of the Day) and product list. Hope you enjoy!

Glitter Done Right



Products used;

Eyes:

Two Faced Shadow Insurance. NYX Jumbo Pencil in Black to act as a base under my eyeshadows. Silver eyeshadow out of Wet n' Wild palette 'Blue Had Me At Hello' on half of the eye, leaving the outer V blank. Matte Black eyeshadow out of same palette placed in the outer V and blended into the crease with a fluffy blending brush I purchased from Crown Brush. I blended the black and silver together with the same brush, and softened the harsh lines by placing Magnolia Makeups Caramel Pigment above the crease. I highlighted my brow bone with Magnolia Makeup's Camel pigment. I placed LIT cosmetics glitter glue on top of the silver and black eyeshadows, and carefully placed Mehron's silver glitter on top. To blend the glitter with the eyeshadow, I placed more black on, and blended. Lined my lash line with maybelline liquid eyeliner, and my waterline with Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Zero. Mascara is MAC Zoom Lash.

Brows:

I outlined my brows with MAC brow pencil in Spiked and filled in the brow with a no name dark brown eyeshadow. Concealer around the brow was Bobbi Brown in Dark Bisque.



Face:

Concealer I used was Bobbi Brown Corrector in Dark Bisque, followed by Bobbi Brown concealer in Golden. To set the concealer, I used the powder in the concealer package. I didnt use any foundation, instead I put MAC Mineralized Skin Finish on my whole face with a Fluffy Powder Brush from Crown Brush. I contoured my cheekbones with MAC Swiss Chocolate eyeshadow. Blush is Wet n' Wild Heather Silk.

Lips:

I applied Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Anime.

Inglot Eyeshadows!!!

Hello lovebugs!!

If you search makeup videos on YouTube like I do, then I'm sure you've come across more than a few makeup guru's talking about Inglot Cosmetics. Inglot is a cosmetic company who's principal objective was to create high quality products, at reasonable prices. And in my opinion, they have succeeded. Initially, people in the U.S.A. could only purchase INGLOT in only 5 stores across the map. As of a few months ago, they began an online store for people in the USA and Australia.

INGLOT is most known for their FREEDOM SYSTEM which allows you to create your own palette with either Face products, Lipsticks, Eyeshadows, or things for your eyebrows. Whats so great about the FREEDOM SYSTEM is that you can mix and match what you want inside your pallete.

I created my own FREEDOM SYSTEM pallete containing 10 round eyeshadows. INGLOT no longer sales Round eyeshadows, only square eyeshadows.

Packaging
One of the unique factors or INGLOT's palettes is the packaging. The pans come in a black palette, but the top portion is a clear fixture with magnets at each corner to securely attach to the bottom portion of the palette. The eyeshadows fit securely into the palette and I assure you that they WILL NOT fall out. Packaging for this product is a definite A+ from me. Very original!

Product
INGLOT's eyeshadows are the perfect product. They have a variety of colors and finishes which insures the consumer that they will find something they like. The colors are some of the most pigmented eyeshadows that I've ever come across. In my opinion, INGLOT shadows surpass those of brands like MAC cosmetics. The pigmentation is amazing!

Price
At only $5 a shadow, no other company can beat out INGLOT. Granted, they are worth much more if we're talking about quality, but at under $10 a shadow, no one else comes close to them!

Performance
INGLOT eyeshadows blend very easily, and stand out no matter what color you choose. The performance is amazing. They are long lasting as well.

Disclaimer: This palette was made for me, and I forgot to ask the numbers/names of each shadow. So I went to the website and tried to "eyeball" the shadows in my palette and match them with those on the site. Hopefully I got them all right!

Left to Right- Matte 330,, Pearl 430, AMC 51, DS 495, Pearl 449

Shine 41, Matte 345, AMC 70, Pearl 428, Matte340

INGLOT is a amazing company. If you choose to try them out, I promise you wont be disappointed!

Will I purchase Again? YES

Magnolia Makeup Swatches and Review

Hello fabulous people! I know its been a little while, but as promised, here are the swatches for the pigments I purchased from Magnolia Makeup. If you watched my video, I said that I had made another order for 1 special pigment. Well that pigment "Gilded" arrived and is included in this review.



(left to right) #289 Camel, #025 Aerial, #008 O.C.S., #159 Gilded, #101 Caramel

Packaging

The products came in a small shipping envelope with bubble wrap inside it. They were not wrapped in anything, but because the envelope was small, there was little room for the pigments to move around inside. The only thing I didn't like, which instantly caught my attention when I opened the package, was there was no Order Sheet to let you know what you purchased, or an "Thanks for purchasing Magnolia Makeup" paper or anything. I'm use to seeing something inside from the company, but there was nothing. I think it is important to show your customers you appreciate their business.

Price

Upon researching the pigments at first, I thought $10 was a little steap. But after, because of quality, I assume $10 is alright. Definitely looking forward to some type of SALE though, lol.

Product

The product itself is amazing. Very nice, vivid, bright colors with great pigmentation. These pigments dont disappoint!

Performance

These pigments blend very well, and are wondeful on the performance tip! Get you some!





#008 O.C.S. Bright orange with gold particles inside.



#159 Gilded Beautiful Metallic gold



#025 Aerial Gorgeous teal blue color

#101 Caramel A medium yellow toned brown (perfect for blending harsh lines)

#289 Camel A light brown with pink undertones (perfect for brow bone highlght on caramel-dark skin)

Overall: Great product! Will I purchase again??? YES!!

Product Grade= A

XOXO

My highlight is Magnolia Makeup Camel pigment.
Directly under the arch of my brow, I placed Soft Touch eyeshadow by MAC to give the brow a POP.
