A little while ago, I met up with Charli from INGLOT, so that he could tell me about all the amazing new (makeup) things coming our way, from one of my favourite makeup brands.
He gave me a few samples from the latest INGLOT Berry Collection to try them out.
The nail colours, come in six fabulous shades and are all O2M Breathable Nail Enamels. Which is Inglot’s signature line that allows moisture and oxygen to pass through the nail colour, keeping your nails in tip top condition.
I got to sample two colours.
Shade 689 is a pretty gorgeous deep burgundy red, which I didn’t love at first. But once I put it on my nails, I was sold. I’m actually still wearing it on my toes, and it’s a really lovely plum red colour.
The second shade, 691 is a royal purple that looks very much like black, but with rich purple tones. It’s a great colour for dark moods, and if you want to wear black, but not black if you know what I mean!
Both of these are really nice, rich colours that will keep your nails happy for the last few weeks of winter!
They lasted on my nails for three days without chipping, and my nails still looked healthy after I removed the colour. So, ya, very impressed with that!
The lip collection offers five shades of varying “berry” tones to compliment the nail colours. I personally prefer lighter, more nude shades on my lips, so darks are not really my thing. But if you love rich dark shades, then definitely check these out.
The colour 294 is quite nice, even for me, but I found that it looked more wearable on my lips when I blotted it on my lips, rather than applied it like a normal lipstick.
One thing I must say about these lipsticks is that they are ridiculously long lasting. The colour lasts for hours! I swatched them on my arm in the morning and that night, they were still there!
Both the lip colours and nail colours retail for R169 each.
