Inglot AMC Lip Gloss 541, 543, 544, 546 - Review, Swatches, Photos

During Inglot's online Black Friday sale I ended up welcoming many new members into my makeup club/collection, including a few of the AMC lipglosses (I had already had and cherished 541 and decided he was in dire need of some friends..)!

This little line of glosses is beautiful, complicated, lustrous, wonderfully duochromatic, and woefully hard to capture photographically :( This is my best effort!

L to R: 541, 543, 544, 546

Here they are swatched -

541

541

541 is my first and probably most favorite of the AMCs - it's an iridescent, prismatic, futuristic sometime-pink sometime-lavender with fine, radiant shimmer. To me this is very alien and radioactive-looking; I would feel perfectly proper wearing this on an intergalactic vacation, if only such a thing were possible! Lovely.

543

543

543 is my least favorite of these glosses, though still decent. I was hoping for a light pink, though on me this looks more a light peachy nude.

544

Argh, my photo is awful! 544 is actually a rather lovely red-pink. It is the most pigmented of the four Inglot glosses I have, and is really a very pretty shade.

546

546

546 is much more beautiful and nuanced worn than in the bottle. It is the most gorgeous opalescent pearl with a creamy yellow shift - truly as if you would've (somehow) melted a pearl and spread it over your lips. So cool!

(All together now!)

L to R: 541, 543, 544, 546

Overall I like these very much, though I don't believe I would purchase 543 again - it is a nice color, but it's straight forward enough that you could find cheaper dupes. They last a good 2-2.5 hours and adhere well without being too sticky. They are fairly moisturizing, too, and each has a different fruity scent (some of the ones I detected were peach, melon, and cherry) that's moderately strong at the start but fades rather quickly. Inglot's AMC lipglosses are available at Inglot stores and online for $16 each.

~~I apologize for my sporadic posting lately... The holiday season is busy for everyone, and work has decided this is also a good time to unload on me. I promise I will be back to posting regularly in the new year. Thank you for reading, I appreciate you sticking with me! :)

BACK! Update + Inglot, GOSH

If I've been MIA it's because I've been frolicking through Scandinavia, visiting family and relaxing.

I enjoyed the trip and was very happy to see everyone, but I'm glad to be back in the States where a bottle of water doesn't cost $7! ;)

I brought back much more makeup than I should've, and I have a lot to review! Posts and photos coming soon~~

Inglot - Eyeshadow Brights, Part 2 - Photos + Swatches

Happy Friday! I don't have much time but I did want to share with you some quick drive-by eyeshadow swatches! This is the vibrant, flamboyant half of my Inglot collection, and definitely the palette I reach for more often.  You can see my Inglot neutral swatches and review here!

So bright and cheerful, yay!

Row 1 -

L to R: 474 DS, 403 Pearl, 16 AMC Shine, 477 DS, 17 AMC Shine

L to R: 372 Matte, 504 DS, 371 Matte, 50 AMC Shine, 483 DS

L to R: 351 Matte, 29 AMC Shine, 362 Matte, 48 AMC Shine, 30 AMC Shine

L to R: 66 AMC, 441 Pearl, 420 Pearl, 40 AMC Shine

Some beautiful colors here, no? I won't go into the quality of the shadows (you can read a more thorough review here), but you should be aware that Inglot is pretty darn awesome :P

My favorites are 362 Matte (So pigmented! So rich! Sensational matte hot pink!), 48 AMC Shine, 371 Matte, and 50 AMC Shine, though each shade is special and unique in its own wonderful way!

The only problem children were 372 Matte and 66 AMC - both were streaky and uneven, with 372 being the better of the two.  66, I'm sad to say, is a complete, irredeemable dud - very rare for Inglot products, in my experience.

I HIGHLY recommend checking these out if you have the opportunity. What do you think of Inglot makeup?

Inglot Neutrals

Welcome to my little corner of the internet! Please bear with me as I continue to work out the kinks of Artful Beauty and familiarize myself with the blogging process.

I'm kicking things off with a brand that is quickly becoming one of my favorites - Inglot offers an extensive selection of products and colors with affordable price-tags, and, somewhat surprisingly, does so with sacrificing neither quality nor quantity.

As soon as Inglot opened their online shop (actual brick-and-mortar stores are scarce in the US) I couldn't NOT place an order for one of their most popular products, the Freedom System eyeshadows, as well as a sleek 20-shadow Freedom palette to house them. Each pan contains 2.3-3.5 grams of product for the price of $4.50 with a purchase of ten or more (for comparison, MAC's refill pans contains 1.5g for $11). When my package arrived, it was absolute LOVE at first sight! (I'm embarrassed to admit that I even went so far as to place another order that same day...)

Inglot's packaging is one of my favorite ever - it's simple but elegant, sturdy, weighty, and expensive-feeling with magnetic snaps.

Aren't they glorious??! HOWEVER. As gorgeous as the colors are we all know that appearances are nothing without substance to back it up, and I am thrilled to report that Inglot has met and exceeded my expectations in terms of quality; Soft, easily blended, quite pigmented for the most part, long-lasting, and affordable! What more can a girl ask for?

Here's a look at the (more or less) neutral colors I've purchased:

1st row, L to R: Pearl 395, DS 463, AMC Shine 15, AMC Shine 25, AMC Shine 49
2nd Row: AMC Shine 11, Matte 390, AMC Shine 44, AMC Shine 43, AMC Shine 42
3rd Row: Pearl 454, AMC Shine 31, Pearl 448, Matte 348, DS 498

Swatches:

Pearl 395, DS 463, AMC Shine 15, AMC Shine 25, AMC Shine 49

AMC Shine 11, Matte 390, AMC Shine 44, AMC Shine 43, AMC Shine 42

Pearl 454, AMC Shine 31, Pearl 448, Matte 348, DS 498

I love these eyeshadows to pieces, and I find myself reaching for them at least a couple times a week. 15 is just one-of-a-kind, the perfect shimmery peachy/pink/red/coral, and lovely for summer. My other favorites are 44, a sage-y forest green with microglitter, 448, 390, and 25. Just look how pretty they are (they're even better in person!), and all but one of the pans in the photos returned rich color payoffs with just one swipe of the brush! The only shade that gave me some problems was DS 463: What you see in the above swatch is me layering about 4-5 layers of it, and what resulted is still a rather thin, powdery film of color. Despite this one lonesome dud, color me (heeee =B) a newly appointed devotee of Inglot. I can't wait to share the more vibrant half of my collection!

Summary

The Good: Inexpensive; great pigmentation; wide selection; soft; long-lasting; blendable
+++ Have you SEEN 15? I just. CAN'T EVEN.

The Not-So-Good: 463; Once inside the palette and held secure magnetically, it's a bit difficult to remove the individual pans without disturbing the product (I have a few nail marks where my hand slipped while trying to wedge a pan out)

The Inglot Freedom Palette is available at the Inglot US Website.
