Inglot Cosmetics - European/Polish brand

[lippieluv2013]

Welcome to the wonderful world of Inglot! It can be overwhelming, but here are a few pointers:  - Their matte neutral shades are fantastic basics that you can use all the time. I like 351, which is somewhat similar to Blanc Type and 352, which is a bit peachier- more like Vanilla, but a little deeper. I use these two shades 3-4 times a week with other colours and I love them. I believe any of the shades in the 350 range are along this line, so you might want to include a couple of them in your selection.  - In general, their mattes are among the best I've tried and they're priced so that it's worth it to grab a few colours that you might not use a lot, but that are cool to have on hand.  - If you like grey shadows, Inglot's are particularly beautiful.  - It's worth checking out the swatches that Christine has done on Temptalia. She has a lot of Inglot shadows in her collection and you can do quick comparisons of them in her swatch gallery: http://www.temptalia.com/swatch-gallery Hope that helps get you started!!

Thanks for providing this feedback! I have to agree ..... time to start looking at alternatives to MAC.

I don't buy mac e/s anymore just inglot and a few others

I only buy MAC shadows when the shade is unique/complex and can't be duped with Inglot (or other brands I own)... or when I love the formula (like Extra Dimension... and if they ever bring back the Mega Metals, I'd definitely buy some more of those). I've been trying to wean myself off MAC shadows, but it's not easy.

Eesh you girls sure know how to shop! I'm majorly impressed. I can't wait to try them all out.

Alright. I've made my first list to buy hopefully at the end of next month.

Eyeshadows

321 - Matte
322 - Matte
337 - Matte
338 - Matte
342 - Matte
344 - Matte
351 - Matte
371 - Matte
390 - Matte
402 - Pearl
409 - Pearl
426 - Pearl
428 - Pearl
434 - Pearl
439 - Pearl
444 - Pearl
446 - Pearl
451 - Pearl
454 - Pearl
500 - DS

Blush

55
58
29
27

Then obviously a 20 eye shadow palette and a 4 blush palette.

I'm already trying to think of how I'm going to re-organise my vanity area to fit it all in.

How do you all arrange your palettes? By finish? Lightest to darkest? Also, what kind of magnet do you all use to remove them from the palette once they're in there if you want to move them around?

I've just done the math and for the 20 shadows, 4 blush and both palettes before shipping it'll cost £141. If I bought them from MAC, in pots, no palettes (which is how I always buy MAC) then it'd be £310. Can you BELIEVE the price difference?! JESUS!

Great list! I know some people organize them by colors. I organize mine by finish then by shade. For example, I have a 40-pan palette full of pearl then another all matte... but I arrange each palette by color... then from lightest to darkest. I hope that makes sense. I have photos somewhere in my laptop.

And I use the magnet of the glass lid to remove the shadows from the palette, but I know EnKore has a video on homemade magnet thingy for Inglot palettes. It's probably better/easier to remove them that way.

Thanks! Ahh I like the way you organise it, it does make sense. I'll start doing that with the more palettes I get.

Great, thank you! I'll take a look at his video or just use the magnet of the lid.

I'm really just floored at the moment about the prices. It's actually making me wonder why I'm so addicted to MACs shadows when there is Inglot with such a selection for a fraction of the price.

Anyone think Inglot will do another birthday sale this August? I missed it last year...only got on the Inglot train earlier this year. I've been dying to create a neutrals e/s palette since I know I'll get more use out of them than the brighter colors I already have of theirs, but I'm trying really hard to wait for a sale! Been holding out for almost 3 months now and my resolve is starting to crack, lol.

Was the birthday sale worldwide or just in the US? I'd love for a birthday sale but the UK facebook page has no updates and there isn't a Twitter page for them either. Seems Inglot doesn't care much about the UK customers lol.

Good question. I honestly have no idea! Anyone who caught that sale have an answer?

I'm not sure, but this ad (last year) only mentioned USA.

Ah how typical!

I'd love a UK sale. Ah well.

And on top of Inglots great price... add the QUANTITY compared to MAC! You get SOOooo much more eyeshadow with an Inglot pan! I doubt I'll ever go through one! Makes the value even better!

** Just a thought... I get 10 pan palettes because I like to be able to hold them while I'm doing my eye makeup. Some people use theirs laying flat on a table. Think about how you like to apply your shadows. If you are someone that holds your palettes, you might want to go with the smaller 10 pan palettes versus the 20 pan or larger ones. The Inglot palettes are VERY substantial. They have some serious weight to them. Which is really nice. But if you get a larger palette, it might be harder to hold without your wrist starting to hurt and be more difficult for you.
All of my palettes are 10 pan palettes. I'm glad I went with those. It's working out great for me. Just give it some thought. I almost went with a 20 pan palette originally and Shellcat gave me this advice. I'm glad I listened because I would've ended up having to replace it. Due to my OCD!

They can be quite heavy. Sometimes I wish I had bought 10-pan palettes instead because the size looks perfect, and it seems easier to label. I bought the 40-pan palettes because I'd rather have 2-3 large palettes than have 8-12 different palettes. My OCD will probably keep on buying the 40-pan palettes, but I think I might get a couple of 10-pan palettes so I can customize them when I have to travel. But like Pixie said... you should consider the size and weight and think about how you like to apply your shadows.

This is soooo true. When I first heard about Inglot e/s and checked them out, I saw how great their prices were compared to brands like MAC and figured it must be less product. When I saw it was actually MORE product, I was shocked. Definitely an amazing deal!

Are there any free shipping codes or other discounts, looks like I just missed the 20% sale.

Depending on the finish, lightyears better than MAC.
