Inglot Summer Essentials Mini-Collection launching today

If you're a fan of Inglot, their Summer Essentials Launch is happening today, all day, from 9am to 9pm, at all Inglot stores nationwide.  If you're interested, read on to see what will be featured in this bijoux collection.

Bright n Matt Lipsticks

Five new trend-based shades of Colour Matte Lipsticks (#422 - #426) join Inglot's existing (permanent) colour line-up.  These shades range from a vibrant purple, to a pink & an orange shade, and soft peach & maroon.  Each Colour Matte Lipstick can be purchased as an individual lipstick, and are all priced at €13 each.

Pro Blending Sponge

I know that not everyone is a fan of sponges for applying makeup, but I have to say that I love them for foundation.  There's a bunch of these so-called "blending sponges" in the market now, and Inglot are throwing their offering into the mix.  Their version looks like most others, it's designed to be used as follows:

pointed end to get into harder to reach or smaller areas, around your nose, your eyes, etc

the rounded end to "bounce" product (kind of the same way as you use a a stippling brush) onto the rest of your face (cheeks, chin, forehead, neck etc).

I find if you use these damp, you'll get the best out of them - wet them, watch them grow, squeeze out the excess moisture, and apply product.  Used thus, you'll get more out of your makeup and can use them to sheer-out a "standard medium" coverage makeup, or to build it up, relatively quickly.  You'll usually find that sponges mainly work better with water-based foundations, and Inglot’s version of this will set you back €12.

Milk and Tonic Wipes - in Travel Size

I've actually blogged about these before - these are actually genuinely really good probably the best of any wipes I've used.  I'm not a fan of makeup removing wipes for daily use, but they have their place - for camping, for over-nighting, for when you're in a hurry, for when you're caught out - let's face it, it's better to use a wipe to remove makeup than leave it sit on your face all night long.  This is a travel sized version of the wipes, enriched with pro-vitamin B5 and chamomile extract they delicately remove even waterproof makeup reasonably well, and with very little drying effect on your face.  Priced at €3 for 10 wipes, these are a nice fit for your handbag, or your glove compartment, or your emergency overnight bag (doesn't everyone have one of these at the ready, just "in case", or is it just me?!)

Discounts & Promos

Inglot are always great with the old discounts on their launch days and this launch is no different:  first off, there will be 10% off all products, a special offer on nail polishes (three for the price of two) and a 20% discount offer on their 14-piece brush set.
