Word of advice: No matter how much you think you know about something, never stop learning and researching.

After attending The Makeup Show over the weekend, there were two artists that were stand-outs… Lori Taylor for Smashbox and Kevin James Bennett for Makeup Forever. Both of these lovely people are successful and talented artists, and gave the vibe of sincerity and humbleness. Kevin took the time to “talk makeup” with me more than once, (and is quite funny in his presentations), and Lori introduced various Smashbox products to me along with their latest Halo Powder. These two artists are a beautiful reminder to remain true, respect your peers, and to keep it real no matter how successful one gets.

Over at Inglot Cosmetics I bought a ridiculous amount. After meeting Mr. Inglot founder and chemist, he told me some exciting and yet frightening news.

 The exciting news? Inglot is coming to Beverly Center summer 2010!!! (yes, I believe I manifested this one). The frightening news is, I’ll be spending way too much $ over there come summer. But of course this is all for the sake of my clients… uh… yeah.

I love the Freedom System from Inglot. They’re palettes that you custom choose which eyeshadows/blushes/ concealers/lipsticks you put in,  and the top and bottom are strongly magnetic so you can stack and pack them perfectly.  So convenient for artists!!

Inglot makeup formulas are incredible. The cream blushes are insane, so  incredibly rich. The gel liner doesn’t budge, even after I tested it wearing it to spin class, this stuff sticks! The gorgeous Face and Body Illuminator creates a subtle creamy glow when added high on cheekbones, cupids bow, and inner corner of the eyes. Check it out. There are so many other products  I can blog about from Inglot, but will in future blogs, as I’m becoming an Inglot addict. You will for sure not be able to shut me up about this line.

Mr. Inglot is fierce with developing scents in the creams and liquids. They smell delicious.

This makeup is swiftly climbing up to the top of my list of favorite makeup lines.
