Inglot "What a Spice!" Collection is INTENSE.

If you are an avid user of social media like myself then you would have seen that news broke out regarding Inglot Cosmetics new autumn collection ‘What a Spice!’. This was definitely an unexpected release for both myself and Inglot Ireland as there wasn't any buildup or marketing here in Ireland.Having said that, for a collection that had little to no marketing or build up in terms of social media and press releases, the response was as big as ever. Just goes to show how having a big following and an outstanding employer brand goes a long way. It’s safe to say this is my favourite Inglot collection to date. The collection includes 10 new Matte Eyeshadows, 10 new Lipstick Matte and also 5 new Colour Play Lipliners. The shades in this collection are a true representative of those autumnal shades that we love, from browns to oranges to reds and even greys. These rich, powerful and fierce shades are inspired by the spices of the world including turmeric, chili and cinnamon. Inglot have truly spoilt us in more ways than one. They have released various shades in three of their existing product ranges; Freedom System Eye Shadow Matte, Lipstick Matte and Colour Play Eyeliner.

FREEDOM SYSTEM EYE SHADOW MATTE
Containing special silicones and treated pigments to give the intense pigmentation and silky texture that Inglots existing eyeshadows are known for while also promising to be long lasting and crease resistant. As you can tell from the title all the shades in this collection are fully matte, this is due to the eyeshadows oil free formula. I am delighted to hear that they will be sold separately and not just in their usual palette form. This allows us to pick and choose the shades that tickles our fancy without having to commit to particular shades that we might not use. Although saying that, I could definitely see myself using 8/10 of these shades if not all.

LIPSTICK MATTE
If you haven't copped it yet, Inglot are giving us all the mattes this season. And this makes me a very happy bunny. You may ask why I prefer a matte over a satin finish? Easy answer, the formula will last longer. Therefore you get more bang for your buck and you don’t spend your day reapplying your lipstick over and over again. However, there is a common error when it comes to matte finish lipsticks, we must ask ourselves when is a matte lipstick ‘too matte’. And by ‘too matte’ I mean the lipstick formula is very dry and tugs on the lips when applying, thus making any dry skin on the lips very apparent. The Inglot lipsticks however contain Vitamin E, macadamia oil and also avocado oil to prevent this, leaving the lips feeling moisturised and nourished. The formula is said to be long lasting, with the ideal matte finish which glides on the lips with ease and no tugging, leaving you with an even and opaque finish.

COLOUR PLAY LIPLINER
Now being honest I dont purchased a lot of lip liners as I haven't found one that has truly stood out to me as an everyday staple. Having said that,I haven't researched or even looked into what lip liners are the most raved about. But I have definitely heard great and only positive comments on the longevity and pigmentation of Inglots lip liners. Especially the nude shades as they work almost like a primer/base for your lipstick, no matter what the shade. Having quite full and plump lips means that I don't need much defining when it comes to prepping for my lipstick. Lip liners are used primarily for defining the shape of your lips, therefore, making the application of your lipstick easier. The Inglot lip liners come in an array of shades and the pigmentation and payoff of these lip liners is vibrant and most definitely opaque. One of my pet peeves when it comes to lip liners has to be the constant sharpening after every use, Inglot lip liners have a built- in-sharpener and a windup-retractable feature making this tedious task a thing of the past.

Mac Retro Matte Liquid Lipstick, Yes Please!

Hello Beauties,

Mac has been working on this launch for quite a while now. I have been waiting for Mac to launch a matte liquid lipstick range for the longest time now so when I found out that they have been working on this collection to launch I was way too excited. I’m sure I jumped around my room for way too long because of this announcement. They have still not released much information about the range so I am still in the dark about the date of their launch. All they have told us with regards to when it will be launching is that it is set to release this winter.

But of course I had to do my research and stalk the blogs and Instagram accounts to try and find out more information about the collection. The textures of these lipsticks are described as a rich suede matte finish that is totally blowing up in the world of lipstick finishes. It is a weightless liquid lipstick and its Colour-Flex Technology allows these liquid lipsticks to stay on for over 8 hours. Now that is some serious staying power in terms of liquid lipsticks. I am definitely one of those girls that put off wearing dark colours more often due to being worried about it transferring onto my teeth or wearing off unevenly when I am talking or eating. It also states to be non-feathering; this means that it is not meant to move away from the lip line or seep into those little lines around the perimeters of your lips.

There are colours to be released. The collection includes an array of shades from the really pale pinks to those dark winter shades. I am very intrigued about the darker shades as it is coming into the winter months.

Colours Include;

Divine-Divine (Light Pink Shade)

Personal Statement (Barbie Pink Shade)

To Matte With Love (Coral Pink Shade)

Tailored To Tease (Medium Barbie Pink Shade)

Re-Collection (Lavender Shade)

Oh,Lady ( Purple Pink Shade)

High Drama (Plum Shade)

Dance With Me (Dark Red Shade)

Feels So Grand (Red Shade)

Fashion Legacy (Orangey Red Shade)

Quite The Standout (Pale Coral Orange Shade)

Rich & Restless (Coral Peach Shade)

Mademois-Elle (Pale Pink Milkshake Shade)

Back In Vogue (Light Baby Pink)

Lady-Be-Good (Light Baby Pink)

I Hope ye are just as excited as I am for this well anticipated launch, I am a matte lover so this is music to my ears. Hope ye enjoyed this post!

Mac 'The Matte Lip' Collection Has Me Drooling

For any girls out there like myself that always go for a matte lip and are known for walking straight towards the matte lipstick range then you will be overjoyed to hear that Mac have launched more shades into their ‘Matte Lip Collection’ which includes some already existing lipstick shades but they have also gifted us with new shades which will be added to the permanent collection.

There are two finishes included in this Collection. The general ‘Matte’ range and also the ‘Retro Matte’ .The ‘Retro Matte' is a drier and thinner formula and it also tends to last even longer than the usual Matte finishes. The new shades in my opinion are to die for and they are right up my alley. I love Mac lipsticks as the staying power is outstanding and they are of amazing quality. Since I always go for the matte finish, this collection is a total must for me personally.

This Collection has launched in Mac/Brown Thomas stores nationwide for a retail price of €20.

 I thought I'd give you an insight into the collection and let you guys know which shades I am hoping to get my hands on ASAP.

Mac describes this collection as “For those who prefer timeless glamour rather than all-out flash, the sophisticated allure of matte reigns supreme. Now, M∙A∙C expands its offering of this classic suede-like finish with 12 new shades of Matte and Retro Matte Lipstick. These lipsticks promise a pop of colour that will linger on your lips with impressive staying power.”
