Inglot Rainbow Eye Shadow Palettes and Event information

I just got this in the email a few minutes ago.

I found them quite interesting and very colourful to say the least.

If you're in the US, you can book now to go into Inglot and try these.

I can't rave enough about Inglot eyeshadows, and I have no doubt these new rainbow shadows will be in the same calibre.

Inglot 10 Square Eyeshadow Freedom Palette

I can't believe that after all these months I still haven't reviewed my favourite eyeshadow palette.  I did do my initial post about going to visit Inglot at the Garden State Plaza in Parmus, NJ. I raved about the customer service, the products, and even did a haul shot, but I wanted to show you just how fabulous these eye shadows are.

I have compared Inglot eyeshadows to the likes of Dior shadow due to the silky, smooth texture and to the almost non existent fall out as well.  Sure, there are other eye shadows that are as soft as these (i.e. Chantecaille, I recently learned), but they are honestly by far the best pigmented.  What you see in the pan is what you get, and at $4.50 per shadow (if you purchase the 10 eyeshadow freedom palette), this is not only a bargain, but THE BEST EYESHADOW BARGAIN AVAILABLE!

What is a freedom 10 palette? Basically it's a palette that you fill up with 10 shadows that you want.  It's simple, and you can go into the shop and pick it up, or order via phone or internet.  In the U.K., we have one at Westfields.  I have yet to go, because I'm a bit annoyed that despite Inglots being a European company, that it is more expensive here (double the price basically).  But I will cave and eventually get another palette one day, because they are just worth it!!

So here is my palette and I have written the eyeshadow names under each pan picture for you.  I think there are 2 very tiny tiny complaints about Inglot.  The first being their number naming system.  I am never going to remember what number I have...ever, and the second being that there is no easy way of taking out the eyeshadows once it magnets itself to the palette.  The best way is to turn the palette over and hit the back of it.  Your eyeshadows will fall out.  Don't be like me and try to pry it out with a safety pin or needle, because as the pictures below will show you....I knicked my eyeshadows :(

I can't say enough about how much I love these eyeshadows. I haven't even pulled out my MAC 10 eyeshadow palette ever since I got these.  I have even gone as far as swapping out my MAC eyeshadows, because the texture is just not as good as Inglot and neither is the pigmentation...shocker, I know! Because I use to love MAC. MAC was my first makeup obsession, but I am getting older and wiser :)  

I love these eyeshadows and honestly, I don't know if there are any better currently on the market.  I will be trying Edward Bess soon, and I'll report back.

Now some other information about the palettes:

It closes shut with 4 magnet corners

and for reference, the square pans are actually taller than most eyeshadows (i.e. MAC)

Sorry my palette isn't in pristine condition.  That is the life of a palette, there is always some sort of cosmetic dust on it, especially if you use it.

 I know my next one will be more of a neutral palette for sure.

I would love to hear and see freedom palettes by other people.

I'm in INGLOT heaven (pic heavy)

I just found out about Inglot last week and maybe some of you are wondering wtf I'm talking about here lol.
Inglot is a makeup company from Poland and has been around for over 25 years and America is JUST getting to know this brand. We are so behind, aren't we sometimes??

Before I tell you guys about my amazing trip to Inglot. I want to put their website up first.
www.inglotcosmetics.com

and here is their store listings, because right now they do not have an online website...

OK. So are you guys ready from some major eye candy?

I was on youtube last week just doing random searches. I love seeing haul videos and tutorials, so I came across this british makeup artist who was raving about Inglot. I was initially drawn in by their amazing price points and raves about pigmentation, so I looked online and I am fortunate to be currently living 15 minutes away from one.
I also found their facebook page and saw they give free makeovers with any $75 purchase and I had to jump on this. I got a very quick response from Chris the manager and booked my appointment in.

The next day I rushed to Inglot at the Garden State Plaza in NJ and had the best day of my makeup shopping life.

It's a tiny shop in this huge mall, but it sticks out. Immediately I'm drawn to the bright store that oddly resembled MAC, but much more cutting edge. The store fixings were all black (which I loved) and displayed a mirage of vibrant colors. It was super bright in there which just highlighted the full color spectrum of all the glorious makeup.

I walked in and immediately greeted by Lucy and met Chris the manager shortly after. I not only fell in love with the makeup surrounding me, but hands down the best customer service that I have received in a cosmetic shop EVER in my life. You gals know what I mean, the uptight, I'm better than you, snotty a$$ attitudes, but not here. You will get nothing but friendly & knowledgable staff. I can't rave enough about them...but onto the makeup.

Please forgive my crappy camera photos. Even with the flash off, it was so bright in there that some of the colors didn't show up, but you can see the jist of the mass amounts of makeup. I thought I took more pictures, but I was too excited to start swatching the makeup. oopsy....

Here are some shots of the store (embrace yourself!!)

Had enough? Not done yet....

It was amazing to look at hundreds & hundreds of eyeshadows, eyeliners, cream eyeliner, liquid eyeliners, pigments, polish, blushes, foundations, liquid foundations, cream foundations, lipsticks, lipgloss, oh my god, I could go on and on.

I immediately went straight for the palettes. Thank god I went when I went, because I got a 10 shadow palette for $50 ($50 bucks, not $145 like MAC) and the colors were so lush.

I also picked up one of the smoothest lipsticks that I have tried on in a few years.
A nailpolish always somehow made it into my haul as well (shocker!!!). This polish is amazing, on top of the gorgeous holographic flakies, I was also learned that the polishes have a technology called O2M which is a breathable technology that is also in our contact lenses. That's very important, because the amount of polish I go through, my nails need to "breathe" and not be constantly attacked with chemicals. Inglot's polishes are alos 4-FREE & if you know me that's important.

So here is my haul...

Here's a close up of my flakies and body pigments....gorgeous sparkle!

The brush is super soft & high quality. I tried it last night and it picked up pigment very well - that's a huge deal for me.

I did get another polish, but I can't reveal it here since it's a surprise gift for someone (hope she isn't looking LOL).

The pink/coral/gold glitter is actually a body pigment, but I'm not ten so I'll be wearing it on my face hehehe. It's soft and very gorgeous.

Everything is gorgeous. I am done with MAC and their out of stock products and glitzy marketing. I want pigmented, soft, and affordable makeup and I found it.

I'm blessed to live near one, but for those who aren't near one, do a phone order.
Do it fast though, because sometime in May is the price increase apparently.

So to wrap it up, these are the 10 reasons why I LOVE INGLOT!

1) Animal friendly
2) o2m technology in nail polish
3) Gorgeous flakies
4) Pigmented and very soft eyeshadows
5) Packaging is modern
6) SUPER FRIENDLY STAFF
7) All items are made in Poland - I like this because they didn't outsource it to China like a lot of cosmetic companies
8) Mineral based makeup
9) 90% of the pigments is made up of actual pigments and only 10% fillers such as mica

And last but not least, the purpose of my blog ....

10) PRICING is affordable

Don't fall for all the hype on Chanel, Dior, etc. etc. Honestly the last few items that came out from these big fashion houses have been disappointing. Sheer and very poor pigmentation and overpriced sticker prices are a huge turn off for me. I want good color pay off and animal friendly, so Inglot has now entered my life and is going NO where!

It's only 24 hours later and I'm itching to get another palette before the price increase.

Anyone tried Inglot? Love it? Let me know what your favorite pieces are.
