Madison (Splash) Inspired Eye Look

May 23, 2013
When I was looking at mermaid pictures yesterday I came across a picture of the mermaid in the movie splash. I love that movie. I was inspired to base my eye look today from the colors of her tail in the movie.

The colors are very summery, so it seemed perfect to come up with a look. Summer is coming up here shortly. I know kids are starting to finish up school since we have been extra busy at work in the past couple weeks. I wish I could capture my makeup better. I always seem to have these dark shadows in the pictures which I try to lighten. I was in a hurry to get to work, and took some quick pictures. Don't mind my funky hair again. My brush is in the car, and I have been brushing it on the way to work. lol (at a red light of course)

Inglot Haul

May 20, 2013

I went to Las Vegas last weekend for the first time. I remembered that there was a Inglot store somewhere there. I decided to find it and found it in the Caesar's Palace (my favorite casino!!) Forum Shops. I just had to start from one end to the other to find it. My hubby said he waited an hour for me to be done inside the store, but I dont think I was in there for that long. lol 

I took a quick picture when I was leaving. I found myself almost ordering stuff from them at their online website since I first heard about them. I was hesistant since I hadnt seen their products in person. Its hard to tell how big the items are and how I will like the finishes/etc.  without seeing them firsthand. I ended up buying 6 shadows, 1 pigment, and 1 eye liner. It was hard to pick out colors. I would have bought the empty palette but too expensive. Ill look on ebay or amazon for one I can use.

I found the shadows to be a pretty decent size. They only cost $6 each. The pigment was $14.00 and the eyeliner was $12.00.

Inglot Pure Pigments: Sponge gourd oil and almost 90% pure pigment gives this highly concentrated loose colored powder the ability to range from subtle to ultra intense effects depending on application. Pigments can be mixed with DURALINE to create liquid forms of all pigment colors.
Size: 2 g/0.07 US OZ
Price: $14

Pure Pigment Eye Shadow 82: Shimmery Bronze with pink sheen. Also when it hits the light you can see a gold duochrome. This color is sparkly and has minimal fallout.


Swatched Dry

Swatched over Primer, NYX Milk, and UD Liner Zero



Inglot Matte Gel Liner: High intensity pigments provide ideal coverage and rich colors after just one application. The Creamy and delicate long lasting formula dries in 60 seconds to a water, smudge and crease proof finish. 
Size: 5.5 g/0.19 US OZ
Price: $12.00



Eyeliner Gel 7: Matte Black. I need to get a new eyeliner brush before I start using this. 


Freedom System ShadowsPalettes come is various sizes and can hold: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 40 of the Freedom System Eye Shadow singles. Eyeshadows and palettes sold separately. Eye shadows come in Matte, Pearl, Shine, Double Sparkle, and AMC. Paraben Free formula. Not tested on animals.

Sizes: AMC 2.7 g/0.09 US OZ

PEARL 2.7 g/0.09 US OZ

MATTE 2.3 g/0.08 US OZ

SHINE 3.2 g/0.11 US OZ

DS 2.5 g/0.09 US OZ

Price: $6.00




Inglot Freedom System Square 431 Pearl: Frosty/Icy Pink

Over Primer, NYX Milk, and UD Zero Liner


Inglot Freedom System Shadow AMC 15 Shine:  fiery orange and a gold frost finish 


Inglot Freedom System Shadow AMC 24 Shine: Sparkly Seafoam Green


Inglot Freedom System Shadow AMC 33 Shine: This color caught my eye first and had to have it once i swatched it on the back of my hand. Made me think of mermaids.


Inglot Freedom System Shadow AMC 14 Shine:  bright thistle with pink metallic sheen & multicolored sparkles. Reminds me of TBN Grape Soda with multicolored sparkles. 


Inglot Freedom System Shadow AMC Shine 29: Irridescent pink.


Measured to show the size of the shadows 1.25 in by 1.125 in

The brands that are included in that month's bag. (though you might not get something from every brand listed since sometimes they have you either get this one product or another. Which happened for this bag.)
