Review & Swatches | Inglot Freedom Sytem Colour Play Lip Palette


Hey guys! So the weekend before last I visited one of my favourite shops - Inglot Cosmetics.
I had been eyeing up the beautiful Colour Play Lipsticks in their Freedom System range for a while and I finally decided to purchase some of the beautiful shades they have on offer - aren't they gorgeous!?

  

I bought shades 91-95 and I couldn't resist swatching these beauties! I have also added a review based on my first impressions.


91

 92

 93

 94

 95

Pros
  • Beautiful range of colours.
  • Highly pigmented.
  • Inexpensive.
  • Easy to apply (a lip brush is needed!)
Cons
  • I found that shades 92 and 95 require using slightly more product to get a decent colour pay-off.
  • Doesn't seem to last long - I only wore these briefly but I started seeing signs of the lipstick wearing off so you may need to use a layering technique to ensure the lipstick stays put.

Inglot's Freedom System gives you the option to make up your own customisable palettes which you can fill with eyeshadows, lipsticks, lip glosses, eyebrow powders, eyebrow waxes, pressed powders or blushes. You can check out their Freedom System here.
The Freedom System palette shown in the picture above retails at £10 and each of the lipstick refills are £4.50 - though if you work in the beauty industry or as a makeup artist you should be eligible for their 20% discount. Inglot have shops in Cambridge and London aswell as many stores across the world.

Let me know your thoughts on this colourful lip palette!

Today's Look | Soft Blue Cut Crease


Hey guys! I have had a break from blogging for far too long (almost 3 months!) so it's about time I put my butt in to gear and start posting again haha.

One of my favourite looks at the moment is this soft blue cut crease with winged eyeliner - it's quick and easy to do in the morning before work and you can always add to it by using a bolder colour or making it smokier for a night out :)

Products Used:
  • Fearne Cotton 'Made You Look' Palette (I've had this for a good few years so I'm not sure if it is cruelty free)
  • NYX Eyeshadow in 'Taupe'
  • Collection Cosmetics Fast Stroke Liquid Eyeliner
  • Barry M Black Kohl Liner
  • Boots SEVENTEEN Doll'd Up Mascara 
  • MUA Luxe Power Brow Pencil in 'Fair'
  • e.l.f. Brow Kit in 'Ash'
