It is that time of the month again....to announce last month favorites :) I have 7 favorites this time around. Well I had some more but I thought I will mention them once I have done my review of them so that you will know exactly why they made it to the list. I'm happy with the fact that there are more items each time and this time around some skincare made it to the ranks as well! So let's jump right in...

     I so fell in love with this color when I was swatching it at the Inglot store a couple of months back. I wanted to create a really good palette for the makeup contest that I wanted to put up on the blog back then so I ended up spending hours at the store just to find the perfect four shades. This one was just so beautiful that I had to get it for myself. Inglot has such great quality and is such an affordable brand. Now this is what you should put your money in rather than most of the "drugstore" brands that are available out here.

     I bought these off the Major Brands site. Out there they have just given an image of the supposed swatch of the product but yes there is a difference in color between the product and the swatch. What I don't like about their site is that they do not give proper product info plus all the Inglot range is not available. But I digress.

     I bought this from the shop at major brands site. I was looking for a neutral/pale shade which would help me blend out dark colors/lines. The DS stand for Double Sparkle.

     Inglot India was holding a free sample giveaway on their Facebook page a little while back. I filled in my requisite details but to be very honest I was not expecting to get anything. I was so surprised when I got the mail from them that I had won a free sample that I did not believe it at first :). I checked out their FB page just to make sure. 

     I went to the store to redeem my prize and got this eyeshadow trio. They had a 5-6 color choices available in it but apart from that they weren't any options like choosing between a lip product, face product etc. I was expecting something like a sample size but from the looks of it I think it is a full size product. I have not seen it earlier so cant really comment on it plus I forgot to ask them details about the product (doh!). It is M3 Eye Shadow 556 in Pearl finish. 

     I really like the packing which is a thick plastic container. It contains 3 shades - a dark peach, antique gold and a metallic brown shade which has copper undertones. All 3 shades have amazing pigmentation and have a buttery soft texture. They are very easy to apply and blend. When you take a swatch then they do look like 3 distinct shades however on the lids, you can make out the peach shade if it is seen from an angle. If you look at it straight then it looks the same as the gold one. I love the color combination of these warm shades and feel that these colors will look good on most skin tones.

     Many thanks to Inglot India for giving me this chance to try out a really good product. Cheers!

     OMG! I love love love this pigment. It is a beautiful bluish green color that translates well onto your skin. I have used it in my peacock inspired makeup tutorial so check that out to see how it looks. All in all a gorgeous shade irrespective of the fact if you use it dry or wet. Price is Rs. 700/- (Im kinda not certain about this for now as it has been a while since I bought it and I think each pigment in Inglot has a different price. I will confirm and let you guys know). But this one you gotta check out!

     A beautiful light purple color with gold shimmer. It gives a two toned/colored effect. When the light hits it it shimmers gold with the purple color peaking from the shadows. I really like this shade. Unlike 88 this is easy to work with. Use it wet for a more intense color. It will also enhance the two tone effect. I have used this shade in my Peacock inspired makeup tutorial to give an all over shimmer and some shading to my finished eye look. Price is Rs. 700/-.

     Don't let the pic above fool you ladies, this one is a stunner! It is a rich dark black with silver shimmer specks in it. Price is Rs 700/-. As much gorgeous that I found this color it was equally tough to work with. I'm no expert in makeup application. Heck I'll admit I'm a complete novice so needless to say this color gave me a bad time. It smudged/bled irrespective of the fact whether I used a primer or not and whether I used it dry or wet. Plus when I went to clear the fallout it just smeared on my skin and kinda stained it :(. So bear in mind, when using this color do your eye makeup first, clean up the mess and then go and do your foundation/concealer. 

     Personally, this looks the best when you apply it wet. You can see the shimmer then. In dry application only the black color comes on the skin. The shimmer is either non-existent or not noticeable. Use a good makeup remover to get it off properly. I strongly recommend that you use it over a creamy base/eyeshadow. I have not tried it coz I don't have one but I'm really skeptical about it bleeding. Like I said it was a big issue for me and that too when I used Fix+ to wet my brush with! Experts please advise :)

     This looks like a shimmery candy pink color in the jar and swatches quite similar on the skin.  But it came out more silver than pink for me on my eyes. Argh! I hate when that happens :@ . Humph! Any-hoo, It is a pretty pink color and the best part is that since it is a pigment it is a versatile product. Use it for you face, lips, hair, nails - yea you heard me. Dig out Dusty Hunter's vids on youtube to discover how to go crazy with pigments. Price is Rs. 700/- for 2 gm of product. 

     Tip: Though pigments are best used with a wet brush I would not recommend it for this shade as it brings out the silver color of it more when wet in-comparison to when it patted on a sticky/creamy base dry. To put it simply if you want the pink of it more use it dry and if you want more of a silvery/shimmery color then use it wet.

 I picked out some products from Inglot that were a part of my wish list for sometime . I really like this brand and the pigmentation of its shadows and pigments is super awesome :D. It is a high end brand but it costs slightly lesser than MAC. Their range of colors is staggering to say the least.
