[unpaid/sample] I didn’t really know what to title this post when 3INA appeared – I know the brand but the selection I was sent just seems more relevant than others in the past and I’ve had a lot of fun experimenting. I cannot think when the last time I was sent a black lipstick was!

This is shade 900 – it’s not named so have a creative moment and come up with your own! If you ever find yourself leaning towards black lips, this is so very beautifully pigmented you will have your look in a flash. I like the idea of adding some shimmer over it – I should add that I don’t think I’d be brave enough to leave the house in it (which is ironic as I’m about to post it to Instagram which is more people than I would probably come across if I did go out). I am just not sure my corner of south east London is ready. It’s a strong and bold look and if you know someone brave, I’d highly recommend. It’s £13 at Superdrug HERE. I also love the 24HR Eye Stick in shade 791 – super bold and just the ticket for graphic eyes. It comes in 14 shades and is £12 also at Superdrug.

I’m genuinely taken with this 503 nude gloss – it’s just the right brown/pink for my lips although it’s very perfumed. The pigment is punchy and the texture is smooth and non-sticky, more like a lip oil really although I don’t like the taste which is a bit sweet cough medicine-ish. It’s £13 HERE. No such problems with the No-Rules Stick for lips, cheeks and eyes. If you favour a mono shade look, this is absolutely perfect – a good neutral shade that will work for most tones and it’s £15 HERE.

Looking at the swatch, I don’t think I can fault the pigment and shades – if you like something a bit different, strong and graphic then there are pieces from this brand that really make their mark and would be useful additions to a make up bag. That blue liner for example! Gorgeous and HERE. There’s a lavender shade that is stunning.
