Hair New Era

in the box

Here's the palette I got at the Inglot Store in Vegas! The round pans come in 10 or 5 palettes and the square pans come in 20, 10, 5, 3, and 2 palettes. I chose to get the round pans because the square seemed like they have a LOT of product in it and with all the make up I have, I really don't think I need all that much. Although, I do like that the square palettes have so many choices of how many pans can fit in it.

covered palette

I really like the design of the palette. It's so sleek and compact! I'll probably do a video on it later so you can see for yourself, but each corner of the top cover has a pretty strong magnet and when you open it you can stick it on the top [like the picture below] or stick it on the bottom. The palette feels really sturdy and I think it'll hold up way better than a MAC 15 pan palette when traveling. (I've had a few MAC shadows crack on the plane!) The only thing that I don't really like is you can't just pop the shadows out like a MAC palette. The palette is actually a magnet on the bottom so there's no magnet under the pan. I like the clear cover, too, because you can see the colors through the top.

"opened" palette

I've only used a couple of the shadows but so far I love it! They're so pigmented and really blendable. You can choose eyeshadows, concealer, brow powders, or lipsticks to put in the palette if you choose the round form. The square form is only shadows I think? This brow powder might be my new favorite! The concealer is super creamy but I haven't used it yet, other than to just do swatches.

AMC 64, DS 494, PEARL 414, MATTE 372, CREAM CONCEALER MW 101


PEARL 444, PEARL 423, DS 502, MATTE 390, BROW POWDER 563

Instead of naming everything interesting colors, they name everything with the finish and the number. Matte and pearl are pretty much self explanatory but DS and AMC kind of confused me at first! But I found out AMC stands for Advanced Makeup Component. Supposedly it's sweat resistant and is talc free. It also contains vitamin E. DS stands for Double Sparkle and like the name says, it has extra glitter.

I couldn't get over how cheap the palette was! It was $50 for the palette including 10 round pans, but I did hear that they were planning on increasing their price? After I've used the palette for a while, I'll probably decide to pick up more shadows, OR if I end up finding an Inglot Store again! I bought a lipstick, too, but I completely forgot! I'll do swatches later. If you don't have an Inglot store near you, you can order online at www.inglotusa.com

I put up my favorites video a little late but here it is!

FAVORITES
+ Wet & Wild Brule Eyeshadow $1.99
I've seriously been loving this eyeshadow ever since I got it. Maybe it's because it reminds me of MAC's Brule, kind of, and MAC's Brule was the very first MAC eyeshadow I ever got. The wet and wild shadows are s pigmented and I don't know why I have a thing for highlight colors!

+ MUFE Duo Mat Powder in 209 $32
I really thought this powder might have been over hyped but I'm really glad that I got it. It gives me enough coverage to hide my blemishes WITHOUT concealer and it doesn't feel heavy or look cakey on my face at all. I was just so amazed that no matter how much I put on my face, it didn't look cakey! Plus it's so lightweight, I can't even tell it's there.

+ MAC Cut A Caper Lipstick $14.50
Sometimes pinky nudes look funny on my skin because I'm more tanned, but I really like the way light corals look on me. I just ran out of my Cute-ster lipstick and I was looking for something similar and I think I actually like this more. I think it's a luster finish? Which one of my favorite finishes.

+ Kat Von D Cathedral Lipstick $18
Mine isn't a full size but the sample I got from Sephora, but I'm really loving the formula. It's really creamy AND pigmented! My lips are always super chapped so I need a lipstick that kind of moisturizes and I feel like this does that.

+ Sephora Rounded Crease Brush $17
This is my absolute favorite blending brush that I own! It's just the right amount of stiffness - it's not too soft but not too stiff either. I think it's comparable to the MAC 224 but I don't own that one so I can't really say.

+ Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow [Naked Palette $44]
Again with the highlight colors! This is one my favorites from the Naked palette because it doubles as a highlighter and blending color for me.

+ Urban Decay Sin Eyeshadow [Naked Palette $44]
This color is amaaazing by itself. It really brightens my eyes by itself - sometimes I just use this and highlight and I'm ready!


REJECTS
- EOS Lip Balm ~$3
I did a review on this lip balm - it was a complete miss for me.

- Tokidoki Blending Brush [set is $35]
This came in a set of three and this was my least favorite of them. It's not really good at blending but kind of more for outer v, but then I feel like the brush head is too big for just the outer v. It's cute though! lol

I stopped by my nearest Walgreens today to look for the Queen Helene Cocoa Butter lotion, but instead of picking up there, I ended up getting these Wet & Wild Eyeshadows for $10! The single & 6 pan shadows are currently on sale for 50% off and since my sister had one of the 6-pan shadows and was super pigmented, I thought I'd try them out.

SINGLES: Kitten, Sugar, Brulee, Nutty
6-PANS: Lust & Vanity


Kitten, Sugar, Brulee, Nutty


Lust


Vanity

The 6-pan shadows don't have individual names. They come with 3 matte shadows & 3 shimmer shadows. The Lust palette has to be my favorite of the two - it's so pigmented! And these were only $2.49! I wasn't too impressed with the single shadows, but I think I'll be using Brulee a lot as a highlight. The single shadows were only 99 cents each. First impression of these is that Wet & Wild has REALLY stepped up their game! I can't wait to try out a look with these.
