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.

  • Liquid Eyeliner – in metallic copper with a precision felt tip brush.  #19  USD$11.00

  • Lipstick – offered in two new shades of the pearl formula with modern frost texture.  #276 and #277  USD$12.00

  • Pearl Freedom System Eyeshadows  – #607P, #605P, #606P  USD$5.00

  • Double Sparkle Freedom System Eyeshadows – #609DS, #608DS   USD$5.00

This collection becomes available from Inglot USA online, Inglot stores and select Macy’s starting November 2011.  I am definitely going to check out the eyeshadows and lipsticks.

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

Hey! So I was very excited for a collection of Paint Pots and Mattene lipsticks, as I love both.  I really wish that they would expand the permanent Paint Pot line and keep the Mattenes as well.

Anyway, I listed all the items from the collection here.  This has been a very popular collection and it’s still available in stores and online.  Here is what I got:

Paint Pots in Nubile and Half Wild
