Inglot Lipstick Palette

Like any girl, I LOVE a sale or finding a bargain. 

I'm not embarrassed to walk into a store and straight over to the sale section. Depending on the store of course!

When it comes to places like Inglot, I definitely browse around for a minute before I seek out their "promotions". 

This is a deal I've been considering for a few weeks now. It's three lipsticks in a palette for $20. It's not the 'Freedom System' where they are magnetic and stackable palettes, but that's better because this one goes in your bag, has a slot for a lipbrush or two and also has a mirror so you can see what you're doing! ..And at only $6.66 a lipstick (including a home for them) who could resist?

The deal itself is value for money but I always hesitate when it comes to lipgloss-style lipsticks or lipgloss pots in general. I went in with the intention of just swatching the colours and after swatching the first colour, I immediately knew I would want to later buy at least twenty of the colours they offer. 

I chose summer shades, despite the fact that most of the colours I really, really, really, really, really, really, really wanted were winter tones.

I bought a cool toned pastel baby pink, which is numbered "15"

I bought a creamy apricot colour, which is numbered "29"

And I bought the most amazing deep bright pink, which is numbered "33"

33 was the first shade I swatched in the store and is the reason I knew that I would love these lipsticks.

Below are photos of the colours, the palette, swatches and the last photo is the stain they left when wiped away with a tissue. I love lipsticks that have a slight stain to them, so that is yet another point in their favour.

Do you own any Inglot lipstick palettes? 

What is your take on them?

Shopping Update : Photos Need To Be Uploaded.

Last night was another great night with Richard Gere but I think it's time to give you guys a break of me talking about him.

Lets get more into the fashion side of things..

Yesterday I went with Aaliya to Supre and was amazed to see that all of their maxi dresses were reduced to $3.75 and all of their summer tops, skirts and other clothing from last season was $3.75 or $5. It's safe to assume that her and I went NUTS.

I also bought some singlets from Cotton On, a dress from Deborah K, two dresses from Rampage and a gorgeous lipstain/crayon/pencil from Inglot.. It's a super gorgeous deep raspberry tone.

I finished my shopping trip off with a pineapple, strawberry, orange, apple, watermelon and ice fruit shake from Boost Juice.

YUM.

More Than A Worthy Alternative To Mac.

I think that everyone is so in love with Mac that it's come to a point in the average beauty bloggers life that they only really stick to Mac and designer cosmetics (Chanel, YSL etc).

I am so sick of seeing Mac hauls. Really, I am.

I'm from Australia so Mac is extremely expensive to buy. I think it's around $45 - $50 for a single blush. In my opinion? I'd prefer to buy a complete Chanel palette off a wholesale cosmetics site for that amount of money. Don't get me wrong, I love my cheeks but if I could cover my whole face and not just my cheeks for $50 then I'd prefer to do that.

Maybe you'll think I'm a tightass, maybe you'll say I'm not 'up with it', but most of my Mac products have been gifts, bargains on Ebay or swaps I've done in the past.

I love makeup more than I can explain but I am never tunnel visioned about anything in life, whether it be makeup, food, clothes, shoes or even the smallest thing like stationary! I love to try different things, cheap or expensive, new or old.

I can't say that this is a new addiction of mine, because I have been shopping here for a long time but I think I should give an honorable mention to Inglot.

It can't be easy being in competition with a company like Mac.

I have found that they have the best quality in packaging and product. But what is the best quality they offer? The price!

I just got three nail polishes for the price of one. They were on sale for $5 each, just because they are last seasons shades!!!

Point me in the direction of a Mac store who would lower their prices to $5 just because it's last seasons stock and I'd be there in a heartbeat. I think the point I'm making is that I don't think I've ever seen a sale at Mac. They get away with keeping prices the same because they have a 'permanent line'.

I love Mac and this wasn't intended as a dig at Mac so please don't get me wrong but in my opinion, Inglot is THE GREATEST!

I love love love love love love them.

Just look at these photos and just TRY to tell me that they are not worth putting your Mac Pro store on hold for a while?!
