Inglot Online Store is Live!

I've heard from Sawan that the Inglot online store is FINALLY open!

If you haven't checked out any of the looks that I've done with Inglot just click the Inglot tag in the tag cloud to the left. I've also got some swatches but I definitely recommend Beautyaddict.net for eyeshadow, gel liner and lip swatches!

Couragely Goldilux Look

I'm sad, I spilled my Meow Cosmetics foundation sample but at least I managed to salvage some of it. I only wish they offered a size between the sample and the munchkin jar because I really like it.

On a good note I didn't have class today so I saw The King's Speech. It was such a great movie, balancing the dramatic moments with hilarious bits of comedy. Colin Firth swearing is one of the best parts of the movie. I was also interested in the movie because it is all about speech disorders which is a huge part of my major/future career.

I'm trying to find more colors that work well with Goldilux but orange is just my good ol' standby. I specifically love Courage by BFTE because it has microbits of glitter like Goldilux so they work extremely well with each other.

I'm rather disappointed in Stila's Kitten Silk Shimmer Gloss. For something so gorgeous in the tube it shows up poorly on my lips. Here's a better closeup.

Goldilux and Bronze Look

I haven't done a full face in a while so I thought I would do one today. I spent a lot of my day doing phonetics work so I needed a break from it.
It's really hard to take a good picture of the back of your head but I wanted to try to show off the hair I did today. I copied Petrilude's quick tip to do this although it was a little bit harder because my hair is shorter. This is about as close as I'll get to an authentic french twist.

Meg's Makeup Package!

*Sorry about being so M.I.A. lately, I've been hardcore studying for phonetics and my language acquisition in addition to statistics but I've got a bit of a break before my major tests!*

I'm not sure if many of you have noticed the little buttons in the sidebar but one of the buttons is for Meg's Makeup. I'm pretty sure I was introduced to the brand by Jenny but it's been ages so I may not be correct.

The basic premise of the site is that you get rewarded for activity on the site, rating or commenting on posts or getting members to join (I get points if you click on the banner). You then redeem the points at levels of 50, 150 or 250 points. The more points you have the better the reward is. It sounds too good to be true but you honestly get the most amazing items for being a member. You do have to pay shipping and handling depending on the items but they're worth it!

You can join by invite (if you want me to send you one I can and I'd get 10 points for it)

For me, I redeemed 250 points (you can only collect up to 250 and then you have to redeem it in order to get more) and I paid 12 dollars in shipping. I will warn you that the time between your redemption and you actually receiving your package can be a couple of weeks. I redeemed mine on Jan 27th and I got it today March 2nd. I've seen people say it can take up to 2 months.

They also ship internationally for 15 I believe.

I received two Tarte items, a blush and a highlighter, an Urban Decay liner in Electric and a Suki To-Go kit. I also got a little business card with a personalized note thanking me for being a member!

I've never heard of Suki before this but I'm a little intrigued about some of the products. This is a mini skincare kit targeting redness and hyperpigmentation in the skin.

Just to tally things up, I paid 12 dollars in shipping.

Tarte Highlighter- worth $30

Tarte Blush- worth $25

Urban Decay 24/7 liner- worth $18

Suki To-Go set worth $28.95

Total:101.95 not including tax

It does take a long time to build up enough points to get this kind of prize but it doesn't cost anything other than shipping so I think it's worth it!

Disclaimer: I redeemed for these items from Meg's Makeup. I'm not getting paid by them at all and there is an affiliate button in the sidebar that allows me to get points if anyone clicks or joins through it. I don't get any money from the clicks or referrals though! I don't work for Meg's Makeup. Hopefully that covers all the bases!
