Mac dupe alert with Inglot!!

I just got ahold of two more Inglot eyeshadows to add to my eyeshadow palettes (see HERE). I noticed right away that they resembled two Mac eyeshadows that I already own so I thought I'd do some comparison swatches for you all!

Mac Humid, Mac Jest
As you may know from reading my original post on Inglot eyeshadows, I am a HUGE fan. I think the Inglot eyeshadow quality is absolutely amazing--every single one of their eyeshadows is smooth, buttery, pigmented, and blend effortlessly. At roughly $5 an eyeshadow, they are a ridiculous steal--I would honestly pay triple the amount for one--which brings me to about the cost of a Mac eyeshadow in pot. I do love a lot of my Mac eyeshadows--many of the colors are unique and have a wonderful texture. However, on the whole, I am really preferring Inglot eyeshadows now--I wish I knew about them years ago!

Inglot 397 Pearl &  Inglot 418 Pearl
Mac Humid & Jest both have a lovely texture--- they are both very smooth and pigmented as well. However, Inglot is even more smooth and pigmented!
L-R Inglot 397, Mac Jest, Inglot 418, Mac Humid
As you can see from above, the Inglot dupes are incredibly similar to the Mac shades. Texture wise, Inglot is more pigmented and smooth. You can see that Mac Humid is a tiny bit more sheer; Inglot 418 is a bit greener in the swatch and Mac Jest is slightly more pink. However, they are pretty darn close! I'll be saying goodbye to my Mac eyeshadows soon now that I have replacements I like much better!

Have you tried Inglot eyeshadows yet? Do you prefer to get rid of dupes in your stash like me? :)

    Nice dupes! I love Inglot. And I completely agreed, I'd pay triple for the quality.

    I don't have All That Glitters unfortunately but I would bet Inglot has a similar color!

    How do you get rid of dupes? Do you simply toss them out or give them away? I sometimes try to get rid of dupes, but I can't bring myself to throw makeup away unless it's used up, dried out, or truly horrible, so I end up with dupes unless I know someone who would want them >.<

    @Anonymous: I'm the same way--I HATE having to throw away makeup and always try to use up every product I buy. For products I really want to get rid of, I will first offer them to my Mom or friends. If they don't want them and they are products that can be sanitized (not a lipgloss or something like that) then I turn to "swapping." There's some great makeup related sites that I've been able to swap on and trade my products with other people who are looking to do the same as me!

Bronze Eyeshadow Swatches: Mac Tempting, Urban Decay Smog, Nars Kalahari, & Inglot

Image
If I had to choose a favorite eyeshadow color to use, my favorite would most definitely be a shimmery bronzey brown. Call me boring when there are so many vibrant colors to choose from, but I can't help it! I absolutely love a shimmery chocolate smokey eye more than anything else. I think brown is flattering on all eye colors and it can be made subtle enough for daytime or dramatic for evening. I just hit pan on two bronze colors in my eyeshadow collection so I thought I'd do some comparison swatches for you before I finish them up! Inglot 409 on the left, Nars Kalahari on the top, Urban Decay Smog in the middle and Mac Tempting (with the huge bit of pan showing!) on the right! Comparison swatches! L-R Inglot 409, Urban Decay Smog, Mac Tempting, Nars Kalahari From Left to right: Inglot 409 pearl: This bronze has a bit more red warmth to it, especially compared to Urban Decay Smog and is a bit darker--though I do think it's similar on the lid. Both 409 and

Reviva Labs Makeup Primer Review and giveaway (CLOSED)!!!!

A while ago I was contacted by Anna from Reviva Labs to review one of their most popular products, the Reviva Labs Makeup Primer. I was very excited because I've always been curious about Reviva Labs--I've seen their products at my nearby Ulta and Whole Foods Market. Some quick information on Reviva Labs that I gathered from their site that I found interesting: -" For over 38 Years Reviva Labs has been producing all natural skin-care products that help leave your skin healthier and more youthful-looking." -" No animal testing! Before it was even an issue   (way back in 1973), we announced the testing of our products in skin-care salons rather than on animals" - The first to introduce exfoliation to america... with our European LIGHT SKIN PEEL (We were explaining the importance of exfoliation years before the cosmetics giants introduced their versions) Now onto the Makeup Primer. It  is a silicone based primer that is not only fragrance free but also packe

Updated Inglot Eyeshadow Swatches!

Image
Hey all! I've gotten a lot of requests asking for an updated post of my Inglot eyeshadows. I first posted about them last year after discovering how much I love them and how affordable they were for such a quality eyeshadow. After all this time, they are still one of my favorite eyeshadow formulas and I probably use at least one or two of them in each look I do. Since my first post, I have accumulated two more palettes so there are a bunch of new colors that I swatched (along with repeats from last year's post). If you'd like to read more about Inglot and the various eyeshadow formulas, please take a look at my original post HERE ! Let's jump into it!  I posted my swatches from left to right, top row first then the bottom! For quick reference, the finishes are as follows: P = Pearl, M = Matte, Double Sparkle = DS, Advanced Makeup Component = AMC, & lastly, AMC Shine  Again take a look at my first post  here  for more in-depth descriptions.  L-R: 39
