Inglot Coffee Collection

Inglot Coffee Collection

INGLOT have just launched their exciting Coffee Collection. Inspired by the decadence of coffee, this collection is purrrrfect for winter! Here’s the selection I got to play with.. Freedom Eye Shadow in shade 155 is a gorgeous, creamy golden colour that adds amazing depth to your lids. AMC Eyeliner Gel in 93 which has a rich, metallic effect. Looks great as an eye liner on plain lids or layered over the golden eyeshadow. You can also use this gel liner as an intense, metallic eyeshadow – perfect for a night out. Totally yummy, Inglot Nail Enamel in 365. This is a gorgeous beige that looks like latte! Love it, so Beckham indeed! What do you think of this collection? Yummy right?

I just love the festive season.  It’s a time of giving, and of receiving… especially in my case.  This month I have been overloaded with fabulous beauty products coming from all directions.  Everyday I get spoilt with a new little indulgence, and each week during December you’ll get to indulge your sweet-tooth for makeup with me, as I have a whole series of beauty features planned.
