Shiny Shine Shine with Inglot AMC Shine #20


This look came from me wanting to use a cream liner that LilPumpkinPie05 uses in a lot of her looks.  It is one of L'Oreal's HIP Color Truth Cream Eyeliners in the shade "Teal".  I wanted to use #20 as a sort of highlight for the lid color and just set the outer corners with one of the new colors from Inglot, #317.  I decided to use MUFE #92 in the crease and blended that out with a little pink, and I used Sugarpill's Dollipop for that.  Here is the look:

Teal Waters with New Inglot Eyeshadows



If you read my previous post you got to see a picture of the look I filmed using the new eyeshadows from Inglot.  You can also see swatches and comparison photos with some other Inglot shadows that I already owned.  I wanted to do a look that included all of the shadows (which I did) but I also want to do looks in the future that highlight individual colors.  The new eyeshadows are teals, a blue, and greens so the look I came up with was very water-y (hence the name).

New Inglot Eyeshadow Swatches


Inglot recently posted on their twitter that they were releasing some new eyeshadows, nail enamels and mascaras.  Once I saw pictures of the new eyeshadows (plus they only released 5) I knew I would have to have them!!  There are 3 matte finish and 2 double sparkle finish shadows ranging from blue to green.  They are:  #315, #316, #317, #610 and #611.  I have included swatches below as well as some comparison swatches.


NailZilla: 400 Follower giveaway!!

I don't remember the first time I saw a swatch for this polish, but I know as soon as I saw the swatch I would NEED the polish!!  I have been wanting Chanel's Peridot since it came out but could never justify the price for one bottle of polish.  OPI is coming out the a collection inspired by the new Spiderman movie and one of the polishes is pretty much an exact dupe (from swatches) of Chanel's Peridot!!  NailZilla is hosting a giveaway for this polish:  Just Spotted the Lizard!  I believe the contest ends May 31, 2012 and there are a ton of ways to enter :)

Don't forget to check it out!!! :)  I hope to pick up a couple of bottles of this polish and maybe a couple other colors.  We shall see!!! Good luck to all who enter the contest!

Sugarpill Swatches

Here are swatches of the products I picked up during Sugarpill's Anniversary Sale.  They had their anniversary sale I belive Feb. 14 (cute right??).  It lasted 24 hours and they also had a little disclaimer for the palettes that said your order might not ship until Feb 20.  I still ordered because I didn't care how long it took I just wanted the palettes!!  I placed my order Feb. 14 at 9 or so in the morning.  I think I received a confirmation shortly after that.  My package didn't actually ship until Feb. 21 but it got here a day or so later.

There was a little mix up with my shipping confirmations (I had one in my order confirmation email and another on my Sugarpill account).  I emailed them in regards to my order and a wonderful lady named Trista responded within a couple of days (I'm sure they were receiving a lot of emails in regards to orders at this time).  She was very sweet and answered my question as best she could.  I received my package not too long after that.  Amy even signs all of the invoices!!  The only thing I regret is that I didn't order the Sugarpill cat sticker :(  I cannot believe I forgot that!  Oh well, there is always next time ;) Amy has been hinting to the release of a new palette next month!!  I can't wait!!!

I was finally able to get ahold of both palettes!!  I was terribly excited about this as I have been regretting not picking these ups while at IMATS LA last year!  There are two palettes (so far, although Amy has said they are releasing another palette next month!!):  the Burning Heart and Sweetheart palettes.

Here is just a quick price comparison between a couple of brands and their single eyeshadows in some sort of compact or case:

  • Sugarpill
    • 4 g/0.14 oz per eyeshadow single, $12
  • MAC
    • 1.5 g/0.05 oz per eyeshadow single, $15
  • Inglot
    • 2 g/0.07 oz per eyeshadow single (matte, pearl, and DS finish), $12
    • 2.4 g/0.08 oz per eyeshadow single (AMC, and AMC Shine finish), $12
Clearly you are getting way more for your money with Sugarpill and you are not sacrificing quality by any means, instead experiencing similar quality if not better!  The only thing other brands have over them is color range, but don't mistake that for lack of color because let me tell you, Sugarpill is definitely not lacking in this department!
