Hello ladies
I didn't even know that Inglot was so popular abroad! I live in Poland and the brand is treated here as a moderately cheap, yet very good one. It's sort of safe buying their cosmetics, because you know you'll not be utterly disappointed (and may be stunned quite often
). I remember the beginning of Inglot in Poland - it had tiny stands in drugstores with just a few lipglosses/eyeshadows/nail polishes to choose from. Yet ever since it's humble beginnings, Inglot has always put emphasis on nail polishes, which I truely recommend. I tried lots of different ones, including the super expensive, and I always come back to Inglot's. The range of colours is stunning! At the moment I'm wearing no 886, beautiful purple with tiny delicate golden sparkles
. I recon that the next thing their counting on are eyeshadows. I do reccomed the tiny trios (the ones that are divided, not the trios in one round pan) and the single eyeshadows as well as the ones from which you can create the pro 5/3 palettes. Considering the big pro palettes (the ones witch square eyeshadows), I personally hate them. I know that their quality should be exact same as those tiny round ones, yet, in some weird magical way, it isn't so. I had one big palette with eyeshadows only and I hated it. The consistency as well as pigmentation of the eyeshadows were rubbish!
I personally love all the brownish nudes from the round palettes, while my favourite type is shine (these are very well pigmented). I have also tried Inglot's lipsticks - horrible! Never ever before have I had such drying a lipstick! I couldn't even apply it properly as the consistency was too stiff. Moreover, as far as lipglosses are concerned, I have tried two types. The ones in the tubes (don't know if they are still available, therefore they may not be available abroad at all) and the tiny ones in pots. The tube ones were ok, simply typical lipglosses, nothing impressive. The potted ones have wonderful smell with cute colours, however, on the lips they're rather sheer. I have had a pinkich one, don't remember the name though :/ These I do recommend, because they're really girly. Gosh, I just felt like buying one
Furthermore, I have also tried the silvery black pigment. Perfect for a night out (wore it on the New Year's Eve
) yet on a daily basis it's dispensable. I sold it, but I have always wanted to try other ones, as I believe that Inglot's pigments have quite unique colours. Might give them a try tomorrow
What's more, concerning Inglot's brushes, hmm... I don't really know what to say as I am in the middle of testing various ones. Some of them are fine, yet others are really soft and handy. Tomorrow I'm buying the kabuki brush. Heard it's really soft. the price is a bit off-putting (at least in Poland) but it's worth investing in good brushes.
All in all, I do like Inglot and I'm happy that a Polish company is known worldwide. I say give it a go, because it's worth it. I think that in Inglot every girl can find sth that suits her, just like in case of MAC
Yet, I am far from comparing these two. To me, there's a huge space between them.
Hope I managed not to bore you with my rather longish post
(BTW, It's my first post on the forum
)
cheers!
