I got this particular palette made while my last trip to Delhi at Inglot's store - SelectCity Walk. This was my first experience with the Inglot store and all thanks to Rati , I had a wonderful time there. :) Now,coming to the palette, this also happens to be my first custom made palette too. I got three colors included in this palette and after that got another separate shade, just because I absolutely adored it. So, below is the palette, some photographs and swatches of the eyeshadows and a quick review ahead. From left to right: #382, #430, #422 Below is the extra shade that I got and the swatch: AMC #64 You can see it gives good amount of fall out, so have to be extra careful in using it. #382(Matte)  is a beautiful matte red colored shade. Though it gives matte finishing, it is decently pigmented, glides well and is quite smooth on application. The red is also not very scary on eyes, but it depends on how you build the color too.

But, as is the trend in office, I was about to close the palette heaving a big sigh, when I thought of this idea. I usually refrain from using bright colored eye pencils for the same reason of not sporting various colors at office (Reason why I didn't buy siahi). But, I used the following technique...

Inglot lipstick Shade #199 This particular Inglot lipstick shade number 199 is my first Inglot product, which I bought with Rati , while my last trip to Delhi. My experience at Inglot was definitely amazing. The SAs were nice and supportive and helped me choose from variety of shades. I tried number Inglot matte lipstick #417 and 420 , after looking at the swatches on IMBB , but the colors somehow made my face look washed out. After much testing and browsing through different shades, I landed on this particular shade number 199 and have been using it almost every day now since past 1 month. Below are the swatches: I have to say, I really loved the classic black packaging of the lipstick. The shade is semi-matte pink and is kind of daily wearable. I love the shade and the packaging to the core. However, there are certain pros and cos of the lipstick that I found out during my usage: Price : Rs. 489/- only Pros :  - Great, sturdy and classic packaging. ...
