Inglot Freedom System Blush Refill Shade no 29

Inglot FS refill blushes need no introduction; I simply love the texture of these blushes, they are sooper soft and well pigmented :)

This particular shade no 29 is an awesome true peach, that adds the perfect glow to my face,  I love pairing this blush with soft pink lips for that innocent look.

I end up reaching to this blush very often :) This is like my HG blush (LOL) !!

 

Editor's Note : I am going to pick this up on my next visit to Inglot! I can imagine how gorgeous ur cheeks must be looking with this blush on :)

Blush lust: Inglot Powder Blush in AMC 58 Review and Swatches!

I like saving the best always for the last like I eat my cucumbers last in a salad ;) Now u should connect d ... (dots) and realize I am asserting that Inglot AMC blush in 58 is my favorite :D I like the color red for blushes and wanted to get the Inglot blush no.63 after seeing swatches online.But majorbrands does not offer that shade :( So I  had to settle for this blush.

• The packaging is d same.Blush in a metal pan placed inside a plastic case.U need a palette if u r not prudent.
• Retails for Rs. 350/- for 6g.Now that is economical thou I would never hit pan with this :P
• The color is a beautiful reddish pink.

Single swipe!

• As it is AMC, the texture is softer than the normal range blushes.And there is substantial fall out.I try not to swirl my brush on the blush as I do with my other blushes.Swirling the brush makes me feel like a youtube guru :P
• Pigmentation wise it rocks.One swipe is great for that MCBB effect.I have found reddish pink blush works out to be more natural than plain pink ones on me.
• It has absolutely no shimmers in it :) yay for tat!
• Staying power is nearly 5 hrs without any foundation underneath.
• This would work well across most skin tones.
• I never used to wear blush on an everyday basis.But nowadays Blush has become a must wear sort of thing.It instantly perks up my face and keeps me looking fresh day long :)  

VERDICT:
I am in love with the blush so much so I wear it even at home!My mum gives me weird glances but that doesn't matter ;) Please go and get this one for me :D 


Comment below and let me know if u liked this blush :)

Blush Lust: Inglot Blush No.32 Review and Swatches!

Now Don't sigh and skip this post murmuring another Blush post :P What else would u expect here at my blog! maybe I would rename it the Blushing Geek?? Tomato with glasses?? 

I am not someone u can call an impulsive shopper.Maybe cuz of the fact that I can't take chances with my meager pocket money ;) 
But this particular blush I got on an impulse as 29/30 was unavailable on majorbrands.I wanted to get 55 which has been described online as cool toned plum.I put that into my cart but replaced it with this on in d last minute.
Lesson learnt: First hunch should always be heeded to ;)

• The packaging is same as that of other blush refills: blush housed in a metal pan  and placed inside a plastic case.Not sturdy but will do.

• Retails for Rs.350/- per pan for 6g (thou it has been mentioned as 7g online)

• And please don't go by the swatches put up by the site as there are seriously misleading!
• The color is coral pink (I can see a lil peach too) with silver shimmers.

• It has medium pigmentation.All u need is a single swipe.

• I use it a highlighter cum blush.
• The shimmers are not OTT but u need to be careful.U can brush off the shimmers to some extent :)
• I don't prefer shimmery blushes.But if u r okay with/like shimmery blushes then u will love this :)
• The texture is  smooth and powdery.And the fallout is less compared to the other 2 blushes I own.
• The finish has low level of shimmers so that works well for the in between categories like bday partys.
• Staying power is average.Lasts like for 3 hours on me and then d color fades leaving behind some shimmers.not ugly thou.
• Will suit fair and dusky skin tones.

VERDICT:
If u like shimmers/do not mind them then U will like the blush!It is such a pretty coral :) I only wish it was matte.But I make do as a highlighter :)

 

Blush Lust : Inglot Powder Blush In No. 27 Swatches and review!

If being obsessed about blushes was a crime I would be serving life sentence :) 

Inglot is one of the best cosmetic corporate according to makeup junkies :) They provide quality makeup and have the famous freedom system where u can create ur own palette for lipsticks/blushes/eyeshadows :)
U can get the 6g blush in a pot for Rs.720/- or get the refill that houses the same amount for Rs.350/-. But the hitch is, in the stores it is mandatory for u to buy the palette which is a lil expensive.So it is wiser to order it online from www.majorbrands.in .

Packaging:
The blush is housed in a metal pan placed inside a plastic container.I wouldn't call it secure but if u r scrupulous unlike me u won't need the palette.U can also get the Z-Palette.Find details at this link on wiseshe :) Or better get a magnetic strip and fix it to ur old geometry box ;) 

Color:
The Inglot face blush no.27 is a rosy pink shade with lil peach thrown in.Has a satin finish to it.I couldn't locate the shimmers in the lush until I took piccys for this post :) The shimmers are not visible even under the sun and give a subtle flushed glow.U can totally wear this to the office/college.

 I have no idea y it shows reddish and warmer in the snaps :\ So I am attaching my haul pic which shows the true color of the blush :)

Swatch:

Texture:
The texture of the blush is soft and smooth.better than any other blush that I own(mayb nt kryolan).It has some fallout problems cuz of that.So I suggest u  to press ur brush gently on the surface instead of swirling it.Blending is easy :)

Pigmentation:  
Well pigmented.Kryolan fairs better here.But this one is apropos for beginners :) U might need more swipes if u r on the dusky side.

Longevity: 
It sticks to my cheeks fervently for about 5 hours after which it starts fading without patchiness ;) 


Extras:
I have done a comparison of it with Colorbar Cosmic Rose which is another fav everyday blush :) Check out d results urself  ;)

VERDICT:
I can see this blush working on fair to dusky skin :) This one is definitely a keeper for everyday wear.I have ditched my cream blushes this winter in its favour :P
