Inglot Cosmetics Gel Eyeliners – Swatches

July 20, 2010 by Kim S. / blog, Product Swatches / 9 Comments

I love MAC’s fluidline in blacktrack, and the only other gel liner I’ve tried was the Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Liners (see my post HERE), which I don’t think compare to the Fluidline. After seeing them on blogs and at The Makeup Show New York, I picked up three Inglot Matte Gel Liners from the store in the city. One is a deep purple, a green, and a turquoise.

Claims:

-Long-lasting, waterproof formula.

-Can be used as an eye shadow or body painting gel. <—- Doubt it since it dries soo fast. You can try using it as an eyeshadow base though.

-Comes in 20 different colors

Price: $11 Each

I like that…

-It is waterproof, smudge proof and it does not feather at all.

-It stays on my eyes all day long.

-It dries within seconds of application. (Pro & Con)

– A lot of different shades

– It glides on with ease

– Colors show true to color

Do you use gel eyeliners? Which ones?

Have you tried any Inglot products?

MAC Alice + Olivia Swatches

MAC Pigment- Later

MAC Pigment – Partylicious

MAC Cremesheen Glass – I Want Candy

I love everything I purchased from this collection, especially ‘Later’ since I don’t have a very deep black-purplish pigment or eyeshadow like that, and I love ‘I Want Candy’ because it’s different. Who has a yellow lip gloss? Another cool thing about this cremesheen is, when it’s placed on-top of a red or pink lip stick it turns it a coral color.

Did you get anything from the Alice + Olivia Collection?

Sephora is the Devil…

The other day Janique, Shelly and I were in Sephora so I could pick-up the CoverFX Matte FX Blotting Powder/Primer, and upon leaving the store, we came across the Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream Waterproof Cream Colors. I’ve seen them on blogs, and at The Makeup Show New York, however, I never played with them as much as we did at Sephora the other day. Needless to say, I love them! Actually, the three of us did. Now, I want them very badly! At $22 a pop, I shouldn’t want any .:LOL:. Maybe next week I will head over to the Make Up For Ever Boutique on 12th Street to pick up a few colors with my discount.

I’m going to the Diva Lounge tonight, and I was in great need of a nail polish change. I polished my nails this bright blue from OPI’s Shrek Collection – Ogre The Top Blue.
