Inglot Full Metal Lip Liner + AMC Lip Gloss


Inglot Full Metal Lip Liner ($12.00)
Automatic pencil with solid metal case and lip brush. Special FM Sharpener is included. PARABEN FREE FORMULA.
The Inglot Full Metal Lip Liners come in 10 shades. I chose 3 colors:
  • 851 - Bright Orange
  • 855 - Creamy Cinnamon (Reminds me of MAC Spice lip liner)
  • 858 - Pinky-Mauve



The packaging for the Full Metal Lip Liners is gorgeous. They look a lot more expensive than they really are. The packaging itself is a solid metal case which makes it sturdy and very chic. The liners have dual sides, one side is the liner and the other side is a lip brush. The liners are very creamy and apply with ease, they glide on the lips and actually last for quite some time. I wore #851 (Bright Orange) in Vegas and it lasted from around 9pm when I put it on until around 2am, between those hours I did a lot of drinking and dancing and I still had lip liner on around 2am. I still had on lip liner but had to re-apply the lipstick, the lipstick always goes first. Overall these are great lip liners, I wish I had bought a few more and will probably order more now that Inglot has opened it's online store. I don't own a lot of lip liners, in fact I'm not sure how many of you ladies wear lip liner either. Is it a dying trend? Well either way it's always nice to have a few basic lip liners lying around just in case, and for $12.00 it's a bargain.




AMC Lip Gloss ($15.00)

I was about to pay for my eye liners and lip liners when I came across these AMC Lip Glosses. They don't look like much at first glance, just your average bright lip glosses. It wasn't until I started swatching them that I realized how interesting they were. The Inglot AMC Lip Glosses come in 6 colors, all 6 colors are iridescent duochrome effect lip glosses. What does that mean? Basically all the colors are bright and iridescent, they look one color in the tube and on the wand, but once applied to your lips the color changes/shifts immediately and reflects a different color. The glosses themselves are a little sheer which actually makes them better in my opinion because you can layer them over all sorts of colors, you're not stuck matching them to the same color family, you can really go outside of the box with these.

I bought 2 of these glosses:
  • 543 - Base color is lavender with shifts of green and orange
  • 544 - Base color is fuchsia with shift of orange

The glosses are not sticky which might make them a little less favorable to some people. I prefer my glosses to be non-sticky but that's just me. Overall these glosses are fun and can be worn alone of over any color base. I'm glad I didn't pass these up, they're pretty, and fun for nights out, or they're great if you just want to add some pop to a boring lipstick.




I could not catch the color shifting or beauty of these glosses in photos, I think it might be one of those things you just have to see in person. The colors are much more vibrant in person than in these swatches.

Those duochrome lip glosses are gorgeous and cool. I saw someone else do a review on these Inglot glosses and they look neat, thanks for sharing the swatches. They look awesome just in their containers. ^^
