I went to Inglot!

Yep, as the title suggests, I went to Inglot in Westfields, London yesterday. I do luuuurve me some Inglot! I used to only have to travel a little bit to Bluewater for my Inglot fix as they had a stand there, but nope, they took it away and put it in Westfields instead, boo!
Mother and I first raided Primark on Oxford Street (see picture below!), went and stuffed myself at Pizza Hut buffet, followed by a trip over to Westfields. My sole purpose of course for the trip to Westfields was to raid Inglot again… hmm… anyhoo!

Aw, isn’t all pretty?
Matte Lipstick #413

Cor, look how shiny the tube is in the photograph, impressive! I picked up this rather nice pinky nude lipstick in number 413. It look’s quite pink in the photograph, but weirdly it comes out more on the nude side on my lips. My only gripe is that is almost TOO matte. Don’t get me wrong, I love matte lipsticks more than any glossy lipstick, but this feels like it's going to drag my lips off! Oh well, I can’t whinge for £7!
Lip Paint in #59

I first heard about these lip paints on Yinka AKA Vexinthecity’s blog and I knew immediately I must have them.  This colour is #59, a rich purple – right up my street! It reminds me of MAC’s Up The Amp lipstick, which is my ultimate favourite purple lipstick. It is kind of like a mix between a lip gloss and a tinted lip balm – sort of reminiscent of Sleek’s tinted lip balms, but with more pigmentation. I have no swatches on the lips, but I found it took quite a lot to build up the colour to it’s best, but I don’t mind. I think this was £8.
Cream Blush in #88

First of all I shone to their dupes for MUFE HD Blush (the gel/creamy blush in the little squeezy tubes), but after much um’ing and ah’ing, I decided they would be too difficult to blend when I’m in a hurry so my eye’s spotted their cream blushes. I wouldn’t say this was exactly a cream… it’s more like a hybrid between cream and mousse – incredibly light and fluffy and blends like an absolute dream. I highly recommend these! There is an enormous colour range too which is a bonus, I already have three other’s I have lined up for purchasing.
Eyeshadow Trio

Yes, I know, I didn’t need any more eyeshadows, but I just had to get these three. If you aren’t aware of Inglot’s ‘Freedom System’, you can basically pick any eyeshadow’s from their enormous collection, and put them into little palette’s. You can also mix up the palette and have a combination of eyeshadows, blushers, face powders, lipsticks (in different shapes, of course). The shadows are very silky and smooth and incredibly easy to blend, too. And the best part is? It’s incredibly cheap. These three cost me an amazing £11 – excellent!

Also, are you guys interested in seeing what I bought from Primark? I don’t usually write about fashion, as quite frankly I don’t see myself as a very fashionable person. Let me know!

I have to say, you have great taste in cosmetics colors. Beautiful. You should definitely give us some pictures of you with the make-up on.

I also love your hair. I love how it's straight in the front for your bangs, and the longer parts are curly. I don't think I've seen anyone do that before. Love it!

By the way, it's my first time to your blog, and I'm going to fav you. I really think I'm going to enjoy reading your stuff regularly.
