We found the Inglot counter after encountering a Macy's SA who vehemently denied the fact that they carried the brand. Therefore, from hence forth it shall be referred to as "Inglot" as it obviously does not exist.

Review:
I think I only need to say 3 words to make you buy this:
Dude.Its.Holographic.
This is just as well because "Inglot" isn't exactly too forthcoming with details for these lipglosses other than the fact that it contains no parabens. I guess this way you don't have any expectations of it ironing your clothes.
BUT IT'S HOLOGRAPHIC!!! A HOLOGRAPHIC LIPGLOSS!! HOLOGRAPHIC!!!
Yes, there is that all important factor.
The sole reason why I bought this lipgloss was because of that mesmerising holographic duo-chrome you see in that first photo. (BTW, is the proper term holographic or duo-chrome? I can't decide). I was so amused by this that I couldn't stop poking at it at the counter, and in the end, Justine just exasperatingly told me to either buy the darn thing or she was leaving without me.
In the tube, 544 (awesome name!) is a hot fuchsia pink with a white, green and orange flash. Sadly, the holo qualities gets lost outside of the tube. Swatched on my hand, the holo is only visible from a certain angle or if I poke or disturb it in some way. On lips, the orange flash is only fleetingly visible that instant you press your lips together.
Formula is non-sticky, but quite slippery. As a result wear time is rather short, I would say 2-3hrs max?
There is a slight cherry scent to this gloss and it comes with a doe foot applicator.
If you've got the $16 to blow, then I would say buy this just to amuse yourself, but if you don't, then rest assured it doesn't look special on.
Very sexy! Idiot SA!
ReplyDeleteLOL. HOLOGRAPHIC! AWESOOOOME <3 it's like inception.. THREE DIMENSIONAL!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's HOLOGRAPHIC! LOL love how that one fact made you blot $16!! That is quite pricey but the gloss doesn't look bad on. I like the fact that it's slippery rather than sticky!
ReplyDeleteWow, it look INCREDIBLE in the tube!
ReplyDeleteWah, love that holographic effect!!!! And the colors in the tube are so psychedelic! haha. And uh, fail Macy's SA. -_-
ReplyDeleteoh...it's way more wearable than i imagined. i imagined it like wearing a piece of cellophane on your lips XD that would've been wayyyy cool. still very pretttyyy!!
ReplyDeleteinglot has an evil way of sucking my wallet dry. my eyes get all glazed over when i walk into the store & i've lost all self control.
You know what you should do? Take the tube out pointedly in the presence of your colleagues or friends to touch up so they're like OMG SO SHINY! :D
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty on the lips and swatched, but it is sad that it's not so holo anymore :(
I like Lakme Lip Gloss
