INGLOT Blush refill no :27 review

Hello Everyone,
If there is anyone out there who don't know about the brand INGLOT then you are definitely missing out on something. As I come from hyderabad there is no Inglot store out here and most of us don't know about the brand. I came across the brand some time back while surfing and was amazed to see the positive reviews it got. I felt the prices are not too low and are almost equal to MAC. Inglot have their new range called as freedom system where you can buy refill pans which are super affordable. You cannot buy refills directly from the store unless you have a palette of their own but they are available online at Majorbrands.com. Most of the bloggers who don't have a palette make notes of shades they want from the store and buy them online. Inglot doesn't have names it has numbers.

My take on the product:
I recently brought few eye shadows and a blush refills from the site and I must say I love the blush. 
The packaging is sleek and is in a rectangular form. 
The blush seems like a satin finish one but when applied it is matte. I prefer matte blushes to shimmer ones so I completely adore it. 
The color suits almost every Indian skin tone. It instantly warms up the shade when applied. 
The texture smooth, soft and velvety but with minimal fall out. 
I love the color pay off. The blush is extremely pigmented and a tiny amount is enough to add that pink flush to your cheeks. It stays on for a quite a bit of time. 
Over all I think this is one of the best blushes available in the market. If you are a blush lover like me then this is a must try.

Price : 350/-
Quantity : 6 grams. (says 7 grams on the site)

Pros:
Highly pigmented
Texture is very soft
Minimal fallout
Affordable
Super Blendable
Not tested on animals.

Cons:
Availability
A palette is required. 

Final words:
Refills are affordable but they are a pain to store.Make your own magnetic palette like I did or go for the trusty Z-palette. You can store other eye shadows and blush refills like that of MAC or any other brands. You can also depot bulky packaging and use them to reduce the space. I pretty much liked the refill as I already prepared a magnetic palette. The color is extremely suitable for Indian skin tones so if you are having a tough time choosing a blush for yourself blindly opt for this.

New Years Eve Makeup Tutorial

Hello lovelies, I created this purple glittery eye look which is perfect for New Years Eve. This is more like a festive holiday look. I used several different eye shadows to achieve this look and some glitter. Lets get started.

Step 1: Prep and prime your eyelids. I used L'Oreal Studio Secrets primer for this.

Step 2:  Using a concealer cancel out the uneven tone. I used colorbar concealer in a jar in the shade creamy nude for this step

Step 3: Apply a light lilac color on the inner one third of your eye lid.

Step 4: Take a light purple colour and blend it using a blending brush into your outer one third and in to your crease

Step 5: Use a tape in your outer edges for a easy cat eye look

Step 6: Taking a navy blue color apply it to your outer v. and blend to attain a seamless transition

Step 7: Apply a matte black color in the outer corner and a rich purple color in the center of the lid. Blend for transition.

Step 7: Taking a slanted eyeliner brush follow the same color pattern in the lower lash line.

Step 8: Apply a highlighting color to your brown bone and your inner corner.

Step 9: Apply some glitter on your eyelid leaving the outer corner.

Step 10: Fill in your brows. This is the most important step in any eye makeup which we tend to ignore.

Step 11: I lined my lower lash line using a white eyeliner pencil.

Step 12: Line your upper lash line staying close to the lash line and slightly winging it at the outer edge.

Step 13: Apply false lashes and mascara.

Step 14: Since it is party look I added a star with eyeshadow and also intensified the eye shadows by touching it up once again.
 

Before and after.

Other angles and Bla Bla Bla!!!

I hope you like this.

Real techniques Miracle complexion sponge review

Foundation is the important part of any makeup and application of foundation makes huge difference too. Stippling brushes, pointed foundation brushes, kabuki brushes and fingers, if you tried it all and are still not happy with the results then a sponge might be a very good alternative.

You can use a sponge for that flawless finish. There are several sponges that are available in the market. Beauty blender was a huge success this year but that sponge costs around 20$ which was a little expensive for a sponge. With in months there were many dupes available in the market which were quite good but not as good as the beauty blender. Every one who are interested in makeup know the Chapman sisters and their brushes line called Real Techniques. These brushes are the best brushes even when compared to Sigma and Mac. There is no negative point in these brushes ever noticed or said by any YouTuber and blogger. We can also see that almost every makeup guru out there uses this brushes making them highly used brushes in the market. They launched this sponge and named it miracle complexion sponge. I read a lot of reviews which said this sponge is better than the beauty blender.

What Samantha Chapman say about this sponge:

Optimize your beauty routine with this 3-in-1 multi-functional sponge.

• Rounded sides blend large areas of the face with a repeated dabbing or “stippling” motion.
• Precision tip covers blemishes and imperfections.
• Flat edge for the contours around the eyes and nose.

Its versatile design evenly blends makeup for a smooth, enhanced finish. 
Price: 6.00 $

My take on this sponge: 
According to me this is the miracle complexion sponge. The sponge is amazing when it comes to foundation application. On my lazy days I tend to use this sponge for foundation,concealer, powder and blush. The brush is in a bright orange color which is really attractive unlike other sponges it has three different surfaces like a flat side, a rounded side and a pointed side. You can use the pointed side to cover up individual blemishes and you can reach the inner corner of your eyes while applying concealer. The flat side is perfect for powder, foundation and blush applications. The round side is used for blending large areas. You can use the sponge wet or dry according to your comfort levels. I prefer to use it damp, I wet the sponge under running water and squeeze the sponge so that all the extra water is removed. I then dip it in product and start applying. 
I love the finish it gives, No lines no streaks absolutely flawless application. This is very good to apply cream blushes also.

My rating: 5/5
will I purchase this again : Ha ha! I already have one more.

Grey Smokey eye- Christmas Party tutorial.

Hello Everyone. Christmas is just around the corner, We can see the celebrations coming up. Here is a step by step tutorial to create a gorgeous grey smokey eye tutorial which is perfect for Christmas parties. Without any delay lets get started.

This is the before after of the look i created. If you like this please read ahead.

Tip: Do your foundation after creating a smokey eye to clear and cover the damage caused by fall outs.

Step 1: Prep and Prime your lids with any eye gel or simply some moisturizer

 

Step 2: Use a concealer to cover the dark circles and to brighten up the under eye area. Follow with a powder to set the concealer in place.

Step 3:  From here starts the eye makeup. Use a kohl pencil all over your lid making sure you keep that under your crease area. You need not be careful in this because you will smudge the corners of this using a blending brush. I used lakme absolute Kohl ultimate for the following step and a fluffy brush to blend the edges

Step 4: Apply a grey color to the eyelid leaving the inner 1/4th and the outer 1/4th of the eye using a flat shader brush

Step 4: Take a black eyeshadow and apply it to inner and outer parts and slightly join them by running some color in the crease area.

Step 5: Line your lower water line using the same kohl pencil

Step 6: Just like the upper lid. apply grey shadow in between black eye shadows in the lower line too.

Step 7: To add some warmth, Take a purplish pink eyeshadow and slightly blend it in your crease. This will instantly lift up the eye.

Step 8: Line your eyes using a gel eyeliner and lower water line with a kohl pencil.

Step 8: Fill in your brows using a brown or black color. here i am using an eyeshadow called endless taupe to fill my brows

Step 9: Apply highlighter and mascara. I am using my favorite highighting color called Ricepaper by MAC as highlighter

Step 10: This is optional. I applied some false lashes for that dramatic effect.

The final look.

I hope you like this. Merry Christmas every one.

Love,
Mounika Roches.
