Inglot Freedom System 5 pan eyeshadow palette

I’ve been trying to pick up an Inglot Palette for a long time, but each time I browsed the store I was so overwhelmed by the massive choice of colours and textures available, I always left empty handed. Has that ever happened to anyone else or am I just mental? Well recently I decided that I would simply go in, turn the brain off and pick out 5 colours for testing, without pressuring myself to find the (subjective) best of the lot. This is what I came home with.


L-R: Pearl 423, Matte 363, AMC Shine 42, AMC Shine 11, Pearl 393
 

Boy am I glad I did! These shadows are absolutely stunning. The swatches above are just one swipe, dry, without primer! Bowled over I was. I haven’t worn them extensively yet, but they strike me as being on par with MAC quality. The whole 5 pans including palette (a strong magnetic base with frosted plastic cover which snaps into place) is priced at €30. A MAC quad is at least €20 more expensive if I recall correctly. Also the square Inglot pans are 2.7 g each, whereas standard MAC pans are 1.5 g. I bet Inglot is a godsend for any young MUAs trying to build their kits.

I also picked up a 6SS brush (a dupe of the MAC 224 apparently) and a Matte Collection AMC Eyeliner Gel in a beautiful royal purple shade. I’ll report back on those shortly.

Ladies, I fear an obsession coming on… Enable me! What are your must have Inglot shades/products?

    These are beautiful shades. TG there isn’t an Inglot store close to me. Otherwise it would be beans on toast for the rest of my life!

      Me too! Luckily I’ll only get near one when I’m visiting the in laws, so once a month tops. Could still see myself doing a lot of damage though…

    I’m planning on getting a pallet for my kit but its so hard to pick colours. I think I’m going to do half neutrals and then mad colours for the rest of it :) x

      That sounds like a great plan! There are some fab mad colours, don’t think I’ll be able to resist next time!

    I haven’t tried any Inglot products yet, I don’t have a local stockist either – that’s amazing value?! Jeepers! And now I’m going to pretend I don’t know they exist again :)

    That happened me the first few times I went into Inglot too but as soon as I actually bought my first palette I was hooked (here’s a link to my post about it- http://cornflakegirlsmusings.blogspot.com/2011/08/oh-inglot-how-i-love-thee-part-one-what.html).

    The colours you chose are fabulous.
