FOTD: Inspired by Adele

[twitter-follow screen_name=’NoireTropicalB’]

Hey!!

So I have wanted to do a look inspired by Adele for a long time now.  Adele is an amazing chanteuse! I love her voice, her look, her style, vibes, everything!   Her albums are full of true, true tabanca songs.  She’s just stunning to me!

Adele’s signature style seems to be modern 60’s makeup.  The focus is always the eyes, winged out liner, full, flirty lashes and the rest of the face is understated. Nude lips, matte foundation, cheek contouring and not a lot of shimmer.  She also follows this up with full, sexy, voluminous hair and spiked nails.  I love it all! It matches her personality and curvy figure well and I hope she does not succumb to societal pressures.

Anyway, I saw the October 2011 cover of Vogue UK and had to a look based on it.

Shades of copper and gold from Inglot

[twitter-follow screen_name=’NoireTropicalB’]

Inglot has just launched a new collection featuring shades of copper, ginger and gold.  This comes just in time for the holidays and I definitely need to check this out in person!!! This is perfect for fall and holiday parties.  Even those in milder climates would find this collection appealing. It kinda reminds me of the sunset.  The colours are warm and would work well with olive, tan and darker skintones.  This would also give a great smokey eye without the heaviness of black.  Paler skintones could find this as a good alternative to redder colours.

Matte Eye Shadow review: Inglot Cosmetics

[twitter-follow screen_name=’NoireTropicalB’]

Hey guys!

So I recently started purchasing products from Inglot Cosmetics.  They are a Polish brand with tons of eye shadows, lipsticks, liner, everything.  Their colour palette is amazing and what really drew me in was their Freedom System.  The majority of their products come in pans so you could customize whatever palette you want. You can mix eye shadows of different textures, colour families or you can even create a palette with eye shadows, lipsticks and blushes.  Their palettes come in various sizes including a 40-pan palette.

I purchased 3 matte eye shadows from their Freedom System as I am interested in playing with different textures.  I am a sparkle girl, and I have very few mattes in my collection.

The first is Freedom System Matte Eye Shadow # 339

INGLOT adds more mattes for me to buy!

INGLOT Cosmetics has extended their matte eye shadow offerings! Truth be told, I have very few mattes in my collection, so I am super excited to see what the texture is like.  The colours look amaze!! Everytime I go to a trade show with the intention of getting some INGLOT products, the chaos at the booth makes it almost impossible.  I love me some shimmer products, but mattes are a great way to turn up the drama by using a different texture.  I need to check out their greys and some of their corals and teals for summer. And with the new 40-pan Freedom palettes, this would be great to have!

INGLOT Cosmetics is excited to announce the launch of the new extended matte eyeshadow collection.  This highly pigmented eyeshadow is now available in 71 matte shades and can be applied individually or mixed with other colours to create an infinite number of eye-catching hues!

This extensive range of shadows was designed to provide a more comprehensive shade range for all consumers and professional makeup artists.  The line contains a vast assortment of vibrant colors from pinks, blues, and greens, to softer shades of nudes and vanilla to help women everywhere find the shade that suits them best.  After selecting your perfect matte eyeshadows, create a customized Freedom System palette full of colours personalized to your very own taste.
