Currently a 10 pan square palette filled with shadows costs $50. After May 1st I believe the same filled palette will now cost $80. There will be an approximate 55% mark up on the Freedom System. Some of the other products will be going up as well but only by a dollar or two. HTH

The 20 palette can't be too big because I've seen ppl on YT holding it with one hand, it seems the size of 2 x 10 palettes. I think I would rather keep collecting the 10 palettes however to keep everything the same size. My dream is to have an Inglot brick one day!
I heard from a reliable source that the price increase is not a definite. There's been so much backlash about it that it's possible it won't happen......BUT, they will begin charging for the palettes as opposed to giving them away with the purchase of shadows, lipcolors, etc. There are a lot of people who use their own palettes and don't want the Inglot ones, so there's going to be an extra charge.
And btw, aini, the stores are all listed on their site - even though they don't provide phone numbers or anything - their site leaves a bit to be desired. And they've had a number of complaints about it.

Update on the depotting of the large round shadows - I've tried to break into the bottom half of the component with a pair of pliers. It ain't pretty, and it ain't easy, and I gave up along the way. It would take forever (I have about 10 of them) and I'm not sure it's worth that kind of time. They're also bigger than the Graftobian wells, but I think would fit into a MAC blush palette. If I end up with time on my hands I may keep trying to figure it out, but I'm not sure I want to risk breaking any of them. I really wish they had had these colors in the Freedom system.......ah well.
There are still about 20 of these that I want to get (thanks to your lovely swatches on here
). I still say you can't beat the price for the quality.

Not sure which Inglot shadows you have but I depotted some of my individual Inglot shadows (with the clear case) by carefully putting Isopropyl Alcohol around the edge of the pan which melted the glue underneath & let me lift them out with ease. Just be careful not to get too much alcohol on the eyeshadow itself as it changed the consistency of one of mine.

Few days ago I purchased my 1st liquid blush and it's gorgeous! It's really easy to work with, simple application and it looks so natural on cheeks!

Need to get swatch pictures but no idea where my camera is, BUT I got some Inglot pigments and compared them to my MAC pigments and 5 of them are almost identical matches. One I really prefer the Inglot version.
34 = fuchsia pigment
58 = Rebel Rock Blue pigment (VERY discontinued)
59 = Lark About (like the Inglot version better, more shine)
33 = The dark Purple from the 2010 Spring crushed metal pigments
73 = Violet Pigment
I got a couple others but they didn't match anything, which is good actually.

I have to say most of what i have tried from inglot has been extremely disappointing. Let me recount all my purchases!
1. When inglot 1st opened in Quebec about 6 years ago i bought a bright yellow eyeshadow and a bright green. Both colours are pretty chalky, but especially the yellow. Even with a base. Even with a creamy coloured base, this baby is not as bright as it should be.
2. A dark green (i like green, so what?!) AMC eyeshadow. While the product performed well, i must say the idea of the AMC products (as it was explained to me by a MUA) rubbed me the wrong way. From what i remember, she told me, basically they are just very highly pigmented shadows that and more expensive. IMO, if your line is going to be worth buying, all of your colours should then be AMC quality. Whats the point of most your shadows being lower performing? That being said, the AMC shadow is pretty good.
3. Pigments. I bought two, a peacock blue/teal and a gritty bronzey colour. The peacock colour goes on so patchy and takes work with a tacky, preferably coloured base, should be used wet, and must be built. Blending it is a total bitchface. The gritty one, well its gritty. kind of the texture if solar bits and 3 glitter had a love child. Surprising enough, its easier to work with than the other.
4. Cream eye liner. EPIC FAILURE!!!! I had my heart set on buying a dark forresty green for this yr's st patricks. I LOVED the colour. Went home to put it on with my favourite bestest brush (a coarser natural bristle brush from glow minerals) and it was brutal! This baby literally had the consistency of an old dried up Elmer's glue stick. getting anything onto the brush was a challenge, getting it onto my eyelid was death. I had raw scratchy eyelids when i was done, and those wings... well, they were wings. It went back endless to say.
5. Freedom system. Upon returning the absolute worst product of life (seriously, i cannot speak enough to how awful it was), i had to do an exchange... which kinda sucked. Anyway, i spotted a pretty blue purple that swatched nicely. I got it in the freedom system because it was closest to the amount i payed for the glue stick/ eyeliner. I tried it the other day, and it too was patchy and did not have as nice an intensity as when swacthes. I was really disappointed that i had to build it so much, and ended up applying it wet.

Wow that sucks that you have had such bad luck. I personally have 60 eyeshadows from them in 3 of the 20 palettes. I use them on myself, friends, family and clients. I am not disappointed in any of the 60 at all. I will be getting one more palette of 20 and I will have all the colors I want and need. I have also tried a lipstick palette, and nothing disappointing there either. So far I love what I have and will soon start to branch out and try their other products. Now you say you returned the eye liner? I thought Inglot did not take returns whatsoever.

I had my bill and told her it was due to a reaction... which honestly by the looks of my red and sore eyelid, it could have been. I dont like lying when it comes to returns, but i wanted my money back (or something) for a product that was so poorly made it was next to impossible without harming ones self.
^^ Thanks, Rollergrrl - I have the large ones in the black plastic pots, similar to Bobbi Brown's old shadow components (with the twist-off caps). I ended up with these because they didn't have the colors in the Freedom System. For now, I'm just leaving them alone.....a pain as I love palettes, but there it is.
I'm heading out to Las Vegas in another week, so I'm looking forward to hitting the store out there - hope they haven't raised the prices yet!

I went to the Westfield one on Friday and they have increased the prices of some of their palettes already. I was going to take a photograph but was shooed away from the sign.
Anyway, the five shadow palette (freedom system) is now £21. It was £15 when I bought it.
Also, stay away from the AMC liquid blushers as they are crap. I swatched them all on my hand and some were super glittery, some were super chunky and the rest had separated. Now I know this is a shop and that's to be expected but nothing has ever been off when I've swatched it in any other store.
They're gel liners had all dried out and I wasn't impressed.
I was hounded in the shop by about five different SA's who refused to realise that I was capable of swatching products on my own. They followed me and my brother around the store like a hawk and even tried to look in my bag when I opened it to get a tissue out. No offence but I wouldn't be swatching products I couldn't afford? And if I was going to steal makeup, do you really think I'd be picking up a £8 blusher?
When I finally did want some help, they were ALL too busy helping a lady and her husband sort a freedom palette out. It doesn't take 10 SA's to help one person out. I was all ready to buy some of their cream non AMC blushers but seeing as they couldn't be bothered to serve me, I walked out.

I forgot to post what I got from INGLOT at the NYC IMATS 2011. All I wanted was gel liners so all I got were gel liners. Besides the line and crowd around the table was enough for me to not even look at other products. There was a 30% discount and I feel that I took good advantage of it. I got the gel liners in:
#78
#87
#72
#80
In looking through the bag I just realized I got a pigment as well. AMC Pure Pigment in #49. Sorry no color discriptions there aren't any one the site.
