After loving the Kiss Kiss Tender Matte lipsticks, particularly 360 Very Pink & 219 Tender Rose, as well as the new Kiss Kiss Bee Glow 319 Peach Kiss, I decided to investigate the Rouge G line of which Temptalia's so fond. This season being the 2022-2023 "Red Vanda" collection & offering the limited edition "Floral Denim" case, I went with the delightful Floral Denim case & the Rouge G satin 918 Red Ballerina. This is a delightful deep berry-red lipstick, neutral-cool, that somehow doesn't feel purely autumnal or wintery. It's an all-season lipstick. Easy to apply, it glides over lip lines. It lasts 4-6 hours - assuming you don't eat or drink anything too oily or fatty - and leaves your lips lightly moisturized with a slight stain that's very pretty. With the Guerlain lip primer, I managed to get 6-8 from it, drinking only plain water & plain green tea during that time. It looks great with the spring-summer 2023 trend of long denim skirts, a white shirt & Birkenstocks. If you keep your face fresh - I used Guerlain's great new Terracotta foundation in 0.5N dusted with Meteorites & a brown mascara with a light cream blush for a no-makeup look - then Red Ballerina just sings. Highly recommend

Ingkot's tinted loose powder is a good dupe for Chanel, sharing most of the same ingredients. The Chanel has a bit of silica (which some probably don't want actually at all in the powder anyway) & a bit of nylon. Otherwise the products are very similar. They also share the same very light & finely milled texture. Inglot is slightly less matte than Chanel, having more of a natural satin skin finish. It also comes in 15 colors, suitable for a wider range of skin tones than Chanel. I'm a fair to light complexion with neutral understones (N1 in MAC F&B) & I wear Inglot color 12 perfectly.
