Inglot AMC Lip Pencils

Oh hey there, class!

Today I just wanted to take a peek at these lip pencils I bought from the lovely Beautylish. They are from Inglot, a brand I’ve mentioned loving before. Like the lipsticks I initially tried, these pencils are uber-matte and fabulous. Also, Inglot offers some great quality products for a fraction of the price of other brands.

Inglot/Beautylish offers this description:

“The AMC Lip Pencil is a medium hard, matte jumbo pencil with amazing staying power, making it a great alternative for lip liner when coloring in lips. The pencil comes with a sharpener, found on the bottom of the pencil.

Avocado oil moisturizes, smooths and regenerates the lips whilst the modern formula ensures a long lasting even coverage with a velvety matte finish. Paraben Free formula. Not tested on animals.”

Now, let me offer this one piece of advice: the colors shown in the lip swatches on the sight are not even close to the actual product color. Not on my screen, anyway. It may be that they are slightly sheered out and glossy in those photos, but the lipsticks I received were much brighter and darker than I anticipated. It would be really helpful if they offered shade descriptions on Beautylish.

Here are swatches. The “name” of each shade is the number on my arm. I’m just so clever…

Shade 14 is a fantastic nude. I don’t wear it on its own, as I look dead, but it is a great alternative to a liner under basically any liquid lipstick. Shade 28 is a bright pink-raspberry. It has amazing lasting power. Shade 24 is a mauvey-rose that is a great everyday color. Shade 11 is a bright orange-coral. I have historically had issues with coral shades, but this one does not streak or fade unevenly, as many do.

These pencils are incredibly long-lasting. They are, of course, easy to apply because of their pointiness.

I highly recommend popping on over to Beautylish if you are interested in these pencils.They are currently 12USD a piece, which doesn’t seem all that bad compared to some other brands.

ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick Swatches

Let’s talk about ColourPop.
I needed to get my little hands on their newest product, their Ultra Matte lipstick. This is a liquid formula, similar to Stila’s Stay All Day, Lime Crime’s Velvetines, and Anastasia Beverly Hills’ liquid lipsticks. I find that the ColourPop formula is thinner than the Stila, but perhaps not as liquidy as the Lime Crime. It doesn’t matter- it’s fabulous.

I don’t throw the f-word (fabulous) around. This stuff is good. I ate taquitos and there was barely any fading. TAQUITOS.

Darn, now I’m hungry.

Let me show you the shades I got. I was going for everyday wearable shades. You’ll find that I only half-succeeded.

Trap, Beeper and Kapow are significantly darker than I expected. Kapow is a no-go for work, but I may be able to work Trap, Beeper and Shimmy in. I’m still experimenting with Seesaw. Nevertheless, I’m super in love with all of these.

What about dupes, you may ask?

If you have some popular MAC mattes, you may already have something similar to these shades. Granted, the formula is entirely different. So it’s up to you. After all, CPop is only $6USD!
