Inglot cosmetics - 6 lipsticks

I have a major weakness for makeup, incase you had not noticed. Of all the things I like to decorate my face with, I must say that a lipstick always wins hands down if I had to make a choice in purchasing the one item. Lipsticks just add the finishing touch to the whole look or a bit of colour if everything else is understated.

On one of my (many) trips to Westfield, I discovered the fascinating store of Inglot; to any makeup obsessed person, Inglot is the equivalent of a candy store to a child. 

I spent hours swatching their lipsticks but in the end bought 6. 

Of the 6 below, 218 and 104 are creamy, the rest are all matte. Infact 408 is also very similar to MAC Ruby woo.

Strawberries and Carmex

I thought I should recommend one of my favourites in my makeup kit - a lip balm by Carmex. I recently purchased their new variety in strawberry flavour! I must say this is pretty mild in flavour as compared to the cherry one which has been out a longer and I do prefer that one over the regular Carmex.



If you are going to buy any, for a kit as a makeup artist or just someone who wants to offer to friends; without having to dunk their fingers in their tub, I would recommend the squeezy tube variety as it is more hygeinic.
As the weather is cold and heating is on, lips (and your skin) will get dry and chapped, so apart from drinking water and having fruits, wearing some of your favourite lip balm is bound to help that smile.
