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?

International Swaps.

Recently a friend I made through YouTube suggested we so a swap. She lives in America so i agreed to send her Australian hair, beauty and jewelry items and she would do the same with items easily found I'm the USA. I have already bought her around fifteen items so these are just another six things i bought today to stockpile.

If anyone else is interested in having a swap, let me know xox

Just Another Thing I Adior.

Dior Holiday Cannage Palette Christmas 2010

Dior Cannage Couture Palette 2011

Todays Shopping Trip.

Knock Knock. Whos There? The Postman!

I hate being deceived.

When I opened my parcel today, I was expecting the palette that's displayed in the above photo. After all, that is the 'Dior Beige Massai palette'.

When I placed a bid, I knew the palette was a tad different but it still looked quite large in their photos, not overly huge but at least a standard Dior palette size. Today when it arrived it didn't take me long to realize that it's the smallest frikin palette on the face of the Earth!! I had to open the package again to see if that was just a free sample that I received with my full sized palette. It wasn't.

It's probably double the size of a standard single Dior shadow but we all know that still not anywhere as big as the normal palettes. I'll be lucky if I can even get an ear bud into the eyeshadows on the sides, let alone a standard makeup brush...

Ok maybe it's not THAT small but seriously, I was thinking the palette was around 10 - 12cm. It's more like 6cm.

I really don't mind because I love the colours but I wish they had of advertised it was a travel size palette.

Anyway, enough of a rant and onto the important stuff.

This is the latest edition to my makeup.

Have you ever been deceived on Ebay?

If you were me would you have asked for a refund or just been happy that you liked the eyeshadow shades?

Did I Mention That I'm In Love.. With My POSTMAN?!

Yes, you guessed it. Parcels arrived today. My camera is currently missing in action so I've borrowed these photos off Google images just to show you what I got.

I'll swatch/review them as soon as I find my camera but for now, these images will do.

Huge Shopping Trip - Extremely Photo Heavy.

After moving house I saw how much stuff I really have shoved away in drawers.
Yes I have a lot of clothes and shoes but I was really surprised at how much makeup I have.

When I seen how much makeup I've collected over the last six months: 'DAMNNNNN, I really need to stop buying makeup' was my initial thought. Followed by 'What am I missing from my collection?', which then sent me on a wish-list frenzy.

I have a small wish list of things like the UD Naked Palette and $100 worth of ELF products. I wrote my list, pinned it on my wall and convinced myself to stick to a list for once in my life. I was doing so well until today.

I went to buy some more bleach and a few different blonde hair dye's when the sign sucked me in - SALE SALE SALE. A whole week without buying a single item of makeup came crashing down as soon as I saw that sign..

If you want swatches then please don't hesitate to ask. I've swatched most of them already, just didn't take photos. Will be reviewing these as I wear them too btw.
