Ingrid Eyeshadow Palettes Review
Sandra
I have two more products that I got from bodizenska.si to share with you. I already talked about their Ingrid eyeliner here, but today I'll be reviewing two of their eyeshadow palettes. The first one's called 'Pret-a-Porter Number 3'. It includes five matte eye shadows that are not extremely pigmented with one swipe, but you can definitely build them up and make them work by using a primer underneath. Generally, matte drugstore eye shadows are not great at all, so I wasn't expecting much when in comes to this palette, which by the way costs 5€, but I would like to point out the middle shade and the one on the right. I'm not too bothered by the other three, but the pigmentation of these two seems pretty amazing for the price!
The eye shadows itself feel a bit powdery and I wouldn't agree that they last 16 hours on your eyelids. Since they are rather sheer, they tend to blend into one another rather quickly and slowly start looking softer and lighter. If you're a fan of light, neutral everyday looks and are not looking for super pigmented shades, I would definitely recommend you to check this palette out, since it really is cheap and you have nothing to lose.
The two eye shadows on the right are great in terms of quality and colour payoff, and that redish shade isn't bad either, but I personally am not fond of the lighter two. They contain some glitters and are shimmery in that weird hooker cheap way, if you know what I mean. Having said that, this is another 5€ palette, so if you don't already have similar colours in your make-up collection, I would get it just for the last two shades, which are definitely worth the money.
Are any of you familiar with Ingrid products or have maybe even tried some? I would love to hear your opinions about them!

MAC Antiqued Eyeshadow Review
Sandra
MAC's Antiqued eyeshadow is besides my Lorac Pro Palette (review here) without a doubt my most used fall eye makeup product. This is my third MAC eyeshadow and I hope there will be many more joining my collection. I just love them! Antiqued is a very pretty warm coppery shade that I think would suit every single eye colour out there. It has the prettiest metallic finish, and feels very soft and velvety. When you start blending it, I feel like it loses some intensity, but it can be built up, so I don't think this is too big of a problem. You can see the swatch of the shade below, but if you would like to see how it looks like on my eyelids, you can watch 'My Everyday Fall Makeup Look' video. Oh, and before you trot off, please let me know about your favourite MAC eyeshadows. I'll have a chance to buy them again when I go to London in January and I don't want to be unprepared and overwhelmed when I step inside the store again. I'm determied to make a list of the eyeshadows I need to buy or check out before I sit on an airplane this time.

Inglot!
Sandra
One of the most exciting parts of my London trip was definitely setting my foot in Westfield London's Inglot store. I'd heard some American youtubers rave about their eye shadows years ago, and ever since, I've been dying to swatch those babies and bring them home with me! My expectations were very high, but did the eye shadows impress me as I'd hoped they would?
Most certainly! If you'd ask me to pick only one brand of eye shadows that I could use until the rest of my life, I would pick Inglot without a second thought. I think that the selection of their shades is amazing, and I can't even rave enough about the quality, which can easily be compared to MAC or Urban Decay. The eye shadows that I've tried are smooth, easy to work with, they stay on throughout the whole day and are super pigmented. Even the matte shades! You can see the swatches of my shades below. From left to right: 363, 450, 344, 423.
