I am sorry for not posting much from the last two days..my internet was giving big time problems..went off every hour..so irritating ! Anyways, I thought of sharing some of my favorites currently..or stuff I am totally loving..
With Spring here (Though we do not have Spring In India), the whole season is so colorful..and peachy, coral and orange ! Especially with make up..so I am loving the peachy corally stuff too..
Inglot AMC Mousse Foundation mw700 Review, Swatches
Inglot has five types of Foundations..Cream Foundation (comes in inverted white tube), AMC Cream Foundation (comes in a bottle with a normal pump dispensor), YSM Cream Foundation (comes in a tube), AMC Mousse Foundation (comes in a jar) and cream powder (comes in a flat pan..creamy foundation that settles to a matte finish)
AMC stands for Advanced Makeup Components which is their higher and professional range..
YSM stands for Young Skin Makeup..YSM is only in Foundations.
What the Company claims: Beautiful light weight formula,soft to touch and melts into the skin effortlessly.
This air whipped foundation feels like silk on the skin and gives a natural coverage similar to a tinted moisturiser.Just perfect for that barely there skin! Whether its a product for your kit or an essential for your handbag,this is an addition everybody needs to give their skin that jlo glow!
**MUA TIP-Use Inglot liquid illuminators to give the skin a really polished glow!!**
Paraben Free Formula Not Tested on Animals
Shades Available:
According to me..here m,l,f and d stand for Medium, Light, Fair and Dark and w and c stand for warm and cool..and then there are shade numbers..so mw is Medium Warm
MRP: Rs. 1000/- for 11 g/0.38 US OZ
Ingredients:
It comes in a small flat glass jar with a black cap..it has an air whipped mousse consistency as claimed..the texture is a little similar to Lakme Absolute Mattreal Mousse..or L’oreal Matte Morphose Foundation.
It has a slight fruity smell..but does not bother much and goes away in a few seconds..I generally use fingers to blend this..as the warmth of the fingers makes it melt and blend easily..or even Sigma F80 at times.
It gives light to medium coverage..and looks quiet natural..gives a matte finish and stays put the whole day.
The shade mw700 is a little darker..kinda yellowish for my skin tone…but being medium warm ideally it should have suited..I have not seen other 7 shades..so I am not sure which shade would really suit..but I wish there were more shades available..
Unblended
Blended
Pros:
1. Love the air whipped creamy texture. 2. Blends easily and quite well..even with bare hands. 3. Gives a quite natural look. 4. It gives a matte finish..good for summers too. 5. Stays put the whole day. 6. Reduces the appearance of pores. 7. Photographs well. 8. Paraben free and not tested on animals.
Cons:
1. Inglot is not available everywhere. You can buy it online here. 2. Expensive ! I wish it was either priced lower or the quantity offered was more. 3. I would have liked if there were more shades to choose from…especially suited for Indian skin tones. 4. It does have dimethicone and trimethicone..if you are allergic to silicones..I would suggest staying away. 5. Jar packaging.
Overall its a nice creamy mousse foundation which gives a matte finish, stays whole day, photographs well and looks natural too. I would surely recommend giving this a try..would suit all skin types..oily skin might need to powder a little after a few hours…but if you need heavy coverage, this is not for you.

Inglot Freedom System Round Lipstick 51 Review,Swatches
1.2 g/0.05 US OZ
MRP: Rs. 250/-
Inglot Freedom System Explained: Inglot has different round and square palettes for their lipsticks and eye shadows..and you can buy refills for each of them as per your liking..the lipsticks come in round refills only which are of 1.2g each whereas the eye shadows come both in round and square refills (2.7g-Rs.300/-)..the brow powder (1.8g-Rs.300/-),brow wax (1.3g-Rs.300/-) and cream concealer (1.2g-Rs. 250/-) also come in round refill packaging.
The round palette comes in a size of 3,5 and 10..costing Rs. 300/-, Rs. 850/- and Rs. 1400/- respectively. And the square palette comes in size of 2,4,5,20 and 40 costing Rs. 1400/-, Rs. 2800/-,Rs.850/-, Rs. 2800/- and Rs. 5000/- respectively (I know there is a huge difference here..and the pricing is weird)
You can purchase only the refills too from shopatmajorbrands.com but at the stores they do not sell only the refills..you need to buy the palettes or bring your palettes.
Coming to round lipstick refill and the shade 51 ! 51 is a very pretty wearable fuchsia pink with blue/purple undertones..would look good on both warm and cool skin tones..This is the prettiest pink I have ! I am so loving it..
If you want to start with a hot pink shade..but are scared of too bright shades..you should definitely start with this ! Its not the jhatak or OTT pink..but an understated everyday kinda fuchsia..
These are super moisturising..there is no lip balm required with this..and never did I feel even a little dryness..and super pigmented too..one swipe gives enough color..which is buildable depending on the color required.
In Natural Light
Indoors
And here is it on me..
Pros:
1. These round lipstick refills are super pigmented..the deeper the shade..the more pigmented these are. 2. Very moisturising..you do not require any lip balm and neither do you feel any dryness. 3. These stay for a good 4 plus hours and leave a tint behind..and the darker shades stay on longer. 4. Though these are just 1.2g, it is also better coz most of us never finish the entire 4g or 4.2g lipsticks we buy ! 5. Each refill is economical..and priced well for the quality. 6. You can have 3 or 5 lipsticks together in a palette..and carry the palette along..also good if you are going out of town for events and functions. 7. These go on super smooth and do not settle in fine lines or bleed. 8. Inglot is paraben free and not tested on animals. 9. 90 shades of lipsticks to choose from !
Cons:
1. You always need a brush to use it..which sometimes is a little bothersome. 2. You need a palette to buy the refills at the stores.
No other cons..Overall I am super impressed with these..and love the quality, pigmentation, staying power, shades, everything..these are a definite must have !

When I had reviewed the Inglot AMCLip Pencil here..many of you liked the shade..but found it to be a little expensive at Rs. 680/-
And this shade surely reminded me of a similar shade I had in my stash..and I checked all my lippies and compared..And it did !
And the dupe for Inglot Matte AMC Lip Pencil 23 is our very own Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick in Naked Pink !! Which is quite famous amongst us bloggers and I guess most of us have Naked Pink or Bare or both 😉
Though the formula is quite different as the Inglot Lip Pencils are totally matte..but the shade is a little similar..the Inglot 23 is a little cooler and the Naked Pink is a little warmer…but still they are quite comparable..see for yourself..
T- Naked Pink B- Inglot 23
I would surely suggest checking out Naked Pink if you still have’nt..its a pretty mauvey earthy pink..and a MLBB shade for dusky skin tones..
Inglot Pastel Collection Nail Enamel 972 Review, NOTD
What the Company claims: Durable, high gloss, medium drying time formula
DOES NOT CONTAIN: – toluene – formaldehyde – dibutyl phthalate (DBP) – camphor
Apply two coats. Make sure that first coat is completely dry before applying second one. Some shades look best with three coats.
NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS
15 ML/0.51 US FL OZ
Pastel shades:
MRP: Rs. 490/-
972 is a pretty pastel peachy pink (P4) shade..Inglot has five shades in their Pastel Collection Nail Enamels..I quiet like this peachy pink..Pastels are not something I am in the mood of everyday…but I love pastels at times..And the rest four shades i.e yellow,violet, green and blue are equally nice..
Its toluen, formaldehyde and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) free. Stays well without chipping for 5 days. The only issue is it chips from the centre instead of the edges.
You would require 2-3 coats for it to show up..one coat comes up quiet sheer. These are a little expensive for a nail paint..but 15ml is quite a good quantity too.
If you like pastels..I would surely recommend them.

Inglot is available at selected places in India..i.e Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai..with 3 stores in Mumbai and Delhi and just one store in Kolkata and Chennai…but the better thing is they are available online

These are jumbo lip pencils cum matte lipsticks…i.e lipsticks in jumbo pencil form..quite pigmented and stays put 3-4 hours..and even survives meals..it has a completely matte finish.
23 is a mauve pink with some brown undertones..a deeper pink on me..this can be a MLBB shade for many..especially who have dark pink pigmented lips.
It does require a lip balm underneath or else feels drying..but its quite light on the lips..it does settle in fine lines though but does not give dry or flaky lips as the Inglot Matte Lipsticks. Here is it on me..

Pros:
1. I like the shade..comes up as a mauve pink on me but would be a My Lips But Better shade for people with darker skin tones.
2. Its quite pigmented.
3. Stays for a good 3-4 hours and even survives meals.
4. Does not have any smell.
5. Convenient to carry around.
6. I like using matte finish at times. If you love mattes, this is perfect for you.
7. Its not very drying or does not feel heavy on the lips.
8. Like the shades Inglot offers.
9. You need a big sharpener but it sharpens easily.
10. Paraben free and not tested on animals 🙂
Cons:
1. Since its a pencil, lot of product does go waste in sharpening.
2. Little expensive at Rs. 680/- for 3.8 g where some goes away in sharpening.
3. Inglot is not easily available.
4. You do need a lip balm underneath this and it also accentuates your fine lines.
Overall I do like this..though it accentuates fine lines and feels a little drying..a lip balm solves the problem..I love the matte finish and the staying power.
