Inglot Cosmetics Freedom System Brow Wax

  •  
  • 572

Quite disappointed

I love many products by inglot, but this one didn't make the cut. I hate to say this, but it was actually a horrible product for many reasons. First off, the color selection was quite limited. I purchased this at an inglot counter and was able to see the whole range of colors for the brow waxes. None of the colors seemed right for me (all of them were too red or dark). I was in need of a brow wax so I settled for 572, a mid tone brown with red undertones.

Second, the name is very misleading. This is in no way a brow WAX, i would consider it a gel with a very thin, creamy/wet consistency. This doesn't help guide the direction of your eyebrow hairs as the consistency of the product is so thin and cant "grab" the hairs. It also NEVER sets which becomes a problem. Since the formula is quite creamy, you risk "moving" or "rubbing off" your eyebrows if you touch your eyebrows (even after several hours after application). It also gives a very wet appearance to the brows, which isnt a very appealing look on me.

I have tried several ways of setting the brow gel, but found that the wet texture of the gel grips to any powder product and even darkens the color of the powder. Of course, I've given it another shot with a lighter color but that only turns the overall color to look ashy. The wet consistency also made it hard to blend the powder evenly into my eyebrows, causing my brows to appear patchy and uneven. Lastly, this eyebrow gel photographs horribly, looking extremely dark in flash photography. My makeup looked fine in real life, but when I saw the pictures that were taken of me, I was mortified that my eyebrows stood out so much.

Overall, a bad product. It only serves as a brow tint, to add a smige of color (that is, if you like a wet finish brow product that never sets nor photographs beautifully)

RCMA Makeup No Color Powder

Best Setting Powder

This is the BEST setting powder I have ever used! I have been using the 10 oz no color setting powder everyday for over 2 years now and still have more than half the product left! It's a great powder that lasts all day long, giving any foundation a flawless finish. You can you the powder as a setting powder or for touch ups throughout the day. I have oily skin and this works wonders for touch ups (although i do suggest purchasing a small sifter or container to carry it with you). I also find that this powder doesn't oxidize or look powdery. Sometimes I can get carried away with overpowdering, but I never look cakey when it comes to this powder. The actual color of the powder is white, though it never appears white on the face. One of my favorite ways to apply this is over a light, dewy foundation such as Mac's Face & Body. Dewy foundations never last long on me due to my oily skin, however, when I apply the rcma powder over it, the foundation transforms into a light, demi-matte finish (which i love!), and am able to wear the foundation for the entire day without any signs of fading or slipping. I also love setting cream blushes with this powder! My favorite is the Stila Convertible Color Lip and Cheek Stain in Peony, the powder gives it again, that demi-matte finish which gives it a natural appearance. Overall, this is one of my must-have products! And for $10, theres really no harm in trying it. Most likely, you will LOVE it like i do! :)
