INGLOT eyeshadow review

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

This holiday we did a lot of traveling.

We went to the bay and Sac-town and took a road trip across the West coast to Portland and Seattle. We also went to Long Beach and drove to Fashion Island where Inglot Cosmetics just opened about 7 weeks ago.

Staff there are very friendly and helpful.

If you are new to Inglot, they are a cosmetics line that is fairly new to the states, but have been around for a while in the UK. The founder of Inglot is a chemist.

They currently market the only "breathable" nail polish. This means healthier nails, even with prolonged nail polish use. ^_^

The color selection for foundations, nail polishes, eyeliners, eye shadows and lip products are quite impressive. They have a freedom system which allows you to be very creative, placing lip products, blushers, eyshadows or powders in the same palette. This would be good for travel or for limiting the amount of product to be transported while doing a specific look or person. The magnets are strong and the palettes are stackable.

PRICING:

There are a variety of palettes to chose from.

I bought the palette that holds 10 rectangular shadows (2.7g of product per pan).

One of the pluses this product offers is that you get MORE product in a smaller storage space and for a cheaper price; when comparing to MAC's pro palette. (You buy the palette that holds 10 for 50USD and pick any 10 eyeshadows you want. This comes out to about $5/eyeshadow. O_O!!!)  

Refills for rectangular shadows are $7USD

Refills for round shadows are $5USD

PURCHASING:

I have contacted INGLOT and they have informed me that they will be expanding. However, there are only a select few US locations that have the privilege of having them--> stores Peep it to see if you are lucky to have one near to you! At the moment, you cannot purchase online. However, on my trip, I spoke with a sales rep who told me that if you call a store and make a phone order, you can have them ship it to you after providing a credit card number. (Additional shipping rates will apply.)

APPLICATION:

• Very easy to blend
• Extremely smooth
• Highly pigmented, even without primer
• Colors are true to what you see, without being swatched
• Long-lasting (I've had it last for over 14hrs WITHOUT primer with minimal fading, if any)
  
  IMO: Inglot eyeshadows gets a big, fat double thumbs up. I'd venture to say they impress me more than MAC eyeshadows and NARS eyeshadows. I cannot wait to make my new purchase.
