Inglot Cosmetics AMC Lip Pencils Review/ Swatches!

Hey Everyone!,

I have an exciting review/swatches today featuring Inglot cosmetics! I've been dying to try out their products for years but I never had a store or counter close to me and I didn't want to order online since I wasn't familiar with their products. Luckily, they opened up a counter at my nearby Macy's so expect a lot more reviews on their products!

I was drawn mostly to the Lip Pencils more than the lipsticks ( The counter doesn't carry all the colors they make) so I decided to pick up two of the AMC Lip Pencils which is what I'm going to be reviewing.


Inglot Cosmetics makes High Quality products for a more reasonable price compared to MAC, Makeup Forever, Illamasqua, Ect. The quality in my opinion from swatching is the same, if not better than other high end brands and is much more reasonable.

The Lip Pencils retail for $11.00 each. You get 0.13 US OZ.

I thought that was a great price since you get a nice amount of product and a little goes a long way.


The formula of the pencils is in between a lipstick and a lip liner. They go on pigmented and smooth like a lipstick, but they can be drying like a lip liner. I would highly suggest moisturizing your lips prior to applying the lip pencils. As long as your lips are moisturized, you won't have a problem with the dryness. The longevity of these is amazing!, and that's were they play the part of a lip liner. I would say they last a good 4-5 hours without re-applying (and that's with eating and drinking) It's almost like it sets once applied. The pigmentation is great, they show up true to color and go on opaque just like a lipstick.

14- Pink-y Nude

I would describe this color as a pink-y nude with hints of mauve in it. Its a perfect my lips but better color for me! It goes perfectly with my new favorite lip liner from NYX in Pale Pink, its a perfect match! This is a great everyday color.

31- Magenta

This is a beautiful Magenta Pink! it has some undertones of purple/ berry. I love that it is a bold color but its also subtle and not too bright.

These colors are great for Spring and Summer and perfect for on the go. I'm really impressed with Inglot's quality and pigmentation in their products and I love these lip pencils, I cant wait to try more!
I recommend these for any of you who love on the go products, or are just looking for something new to try out! They have great color choices and they are great quality!

I hope you enjoyed! :)
