I just love swatch posts. All the red lipsticks look equally good and appealing when you review them separately but the moment of truth comes only on the battlefield! When all the lipsticks line up together and let you compare them..bash them up..and go home with the queen. There is just so much to consider..tones, warmth, finish, texture, blah blah. I thought I will save you the trouble on your next Inglot store visit (or your next online shopping haul if you are lazy like me) and help you pick the best one out of the thousands of shades Inglot has to offer by the way of this list.
From left to right: The Red Lipsticks
Inglot 176: This one is a creamy red which reminds me of MAC Russian Red
Inglot 127: This one is a creamy orange red and quite similar to MAC Chili
Inglot 409: This one is a deep ruby red and quite a good shade for fall
Inglot 408: This is a matte blue based red quite similar to Ruby Woo (I don’t know if they are dupes). Just follow the link for its full review.
Inglot 401: Its a matte milky coral peach shade. Very matte infact. I have read its reviews that its very drying (infact all the matte lipsticks from Inglot are) but its sooooo pretty and my favourite from the whole lot. I cannot think of any dupes for it.
Inglot 105: Its a creamy tangerine orange. Quite bright and catchy.
Inglot 278: Its a creamy yellow based orange. Yellow oranges make your teeth look yellow so you better stay away. It reminds me a lot about Colorbar Obsessed Orange.
If you ask me, I would pick 408 among the reds and 401 among the oranges. I would swatch Ruby Woo with 408 the next time I’m at the mall..who knows we may find a dupe!
Honestly out of the whole army of lipsticks, I only liked these enough to pick them up and swatch. I’m taking of reds and corals. There were around 10 shades more in both the colour choices but those were either just too pale or too dull or just too meh.
As far as prices go, Inglot confuses me a lot. Why not just keep a standard price like MAC? The matte lipsticks are now priced at Rs.950 (yes!) and the creamy ones are around Rs.750-850 I guess.
