Nails of the day - Manicure Monday

I received this nail polish as well as a bottle of perfume to try out a couple of months ago from a company called Mr L (they do, I don't know if you wanna call it oil based or knock off versions of the bigger brands of perfume) I didn't really have high hopes for this polish to be honest but it had a pretty colour so I thought I'd try it out. The colour is called Hot Pinky Pearl and is a nice dark pink with a very light pearl shine to it, which lightens when you add a top coat or quick dry. This polish lasted really long actually. I got 2 days wear before my first chip and only cause I had to put my hands in soapy water, I'm sure it would have lasted longer. On my ring finger I've again applied nail glitter from the tub. This polish retails for R20 and the nail glitter I picked up for R20 a tub. I'm not sure If I would actually purchase this polish to be honest only because it isn't easy to get and has to be ordered and is quite expensive to have it delivered or to actually go pick up from their purchase points and also I was told they only come in about 7 shades which isn't a real variety to chose from but for the price they are worth the money.

Inglot Freedem System Blush #40

Inglot's freedom system is designed for you to have the "freedom" and choice of building your own palette of colours and textures. There are a number of pallets ranging from 1 to 10 in a palette, I believe there are much larger palettes available as well. Each which have a really nice design. The palettes are square and come in matte black with a frosty clear lid covered with Inglot written multiple times across it. The lid and what ever product you chose to put inside them is held down by magnets making it easy to just slid the lid to the side or to pop different shades in and out of the palette.

The blush I picked up is shade #40 and is a peach shade with a gold shimmer. It reminded me of the Chanel Reflex #82 but for less than half the price so I had to take it cause the Chanel is on my lust list and it's the closest I'm going to get to it for now!

In the palette the blush looks very dark a combination of peach and brown with a gold shimmer which is very visible, but when you apply it it's a very warm peachy shade and the shimmer isn't over powering at all. The blush is very pigmented and you really need to be careful with the amount you apply because you can go from looking nice and warm toned to dirty with way to much make up on. Like most Inglot blushes it stains you cheek and looks very natural when applied correctly. The staying power of this blush is fantastic, without BB cream or any other makeup I needed to apply it twice through out the day which is very good considering it was applied directly to the skin. The blush I picked up for R129 and the palette for R70, so once it's finished I only need to purchase a blush again and not a palette
