As much as i love mac, i cheated today..after fiddling around in the store for about an hour, i couldn't believe how well pigmented their eyeshadows were...every color is rich and intense? i love mac but i couldn't leave this store without buying anything, especially for the cheap price tag and great colors...i will definitely be returning..
i got the 16 palette for $88 CND and two 5-pro palettes for $15 each.. sorry for the huge pictures..

Last night I went and tried out some of their lipsticks and nail polishes.
Again, Im impressed. I got myself 2 lippies - a red and a HOT pink, and one nail polish - black with bright purple shimmer.
Im going back next week for some more lipsticks because there are 3 other reds I want - a girl can NEVER have too many red lippies, and I want to try some of their frost lippies as well as their nudes.
I'll post swatches later tonight when I get my camera back off my partner.

I'm headed to Toronto this month just to go to their store. I have a friend who has used this product for years and she swears by it.

Inglot is a new store struggling to make it in the Canadian market that is dominated by MAC. Everyone here seem to worship MAC and they do have some decent product but are definitly not the best in the industry. As make-up artists and people who love make-up we should be embracing new companys trying to make it in the business. So what if they look kinda like MAC and they kinda have similar packaging. How many make-up retailers have Black packaging? I can think of many. They have been around for over 20 years and obviously are doing something right and have good products otherwise they wouldn't be in Canada with all there stores.

I am a makeup artist and have worn black for most counters I have worked for.. Is Armani, Presciptives, Bobbi Brown, Shiseido, Lancome and countless others copying MAC as well? I'm also a musician... we wear black. Am I copying MAC when on stage performing Beethoven?? You might be pleasantly suprised at the quality of Inglot's products. I used a pencil eyeliner and it stayed on longer than any MAC liner I've ever used. While I love the work MAC does for fundraising for assisting the lives of people who suffer from HIV and AIDS through Viva Glam, I am personally dissapointed in the decline of their product since being taken over by Estee Lauder. I'm sure that you are aware that MAC fluidline is using the same formula as Bobbi Brown's gel liner? All I can say is do your research before you open your mouth. |

I can not stand inglot or whatever, I walked into the one at metrotown trying to test out a eye shadow and I ask the make up artist what is the quality like, and how does it compare to mac, nars, or stila
SHE HAD NEVER EVEN HEARD OF STILA OR NARS!

Could you please explain this 4.50 for a refill business? I mean, if I don't purchase the palette, can I just buy the refill pans separately for 4.50? Or do I have to show them that I actually own a palette?
Ok so I live in Ottawa and I have been to their store a few times.... At first I was browsing through the colors and thought that although they have quite a broad range of selections, the colors weren't all that exciting.. for example they don't have many colors that have some kind of interference, which I love to have.. After returning a few times I did manage to notice a few decent colors.. I bought like one eye shadow and one trio... The quality I would say is below that of MAC, but way above that of drugstore brands..
The trio I got seems to really impress some people, although I find the colors quite subtle.. In the pan it's green/pink/purple.. but when you put it on your lid the pink becomes greenish, the green becomes pinkish, and the purple becomes yellowish, but depending on the angle you can still somewhat see the original color! Not bad, MAC doesn't make those.... What I'm disappointed with is that I've been using them wet, and there seems to be rust that's starting to build up around the edges (wtf!).. This has never happened with any shadow before!!
They do have brushes too, by the way, and they've recently come out with pigments! Overall I do encourage stores like this one to break MAC's monopoly over cool makeup!

Im slowly becoming an Inglot junkie
I now have 2 of their freedom system palettes - the large and small. Ive got a decent range of shades in both, some mattes, 'velvets' (yeah Im using MAC terms) and frosts. I also have one duo tone shadow, a beautiful white that flashes gold in the right light. I want to get some more of the duo tone shadows and probably will later this week.
I also have 6 blushes, 3 matte and 3 neutral. I love them, beautiful to apply, look amazing on and are well pigmented.
Ive already raved about their lippies and pigments, but Im now in love with their highliter bricks and Im tempted to try their bronzing bricks as well.
If I get the chance to do it I'll take some pics of my stuff tonight - everything but the lippies because Ive paletted those.

i'm also from Ottawa. the refills are $4.50 each when you get your palette, $10 (or $11, i cannot remember) each after that.
inglot actually carries a lot of dual chrome colors, but they look really flat in the pan, so if you try swatching them on your hands you may be suprised. they have about 10 different colors that look like plain white in the pan, but flashes different colors when you swatch them (think pink opal and vanilla pigments). they look gorgeous over dark shadows and eyeliners
i'm not really impressed with their brushes b/c the shadow brushes are a little too big and not stiff enough for me (i think you can get a discount when you buy a bunch of them) and the pigments are quite moist, so they stick to the skin nicely even without a base, but you get 1/3 of the product for the same price as MAC pigments

I visited the Inglot in Metrotown on Saturday and wasn't overly impressed. I found that a lot of their e/s were chalky, sort of a matte texture with pearl mixed in, and they just didn't go on very smooth. Some were nicer though. But overall, there just wasn't any that I had to own. Maybe my m/u collection has just grown too big, but they just didn't have anything I didn't already own. Any WHY do they sell 50 shades of light pink lipstick??? Without a single lavender, purple, or plum?
I did like the loose e/s though. Very richly pigmented and it went on super smooth, but at $22 a pop, I passed.
The only thing I bought was a super shimmery liquid liner.
Also, I just have to say that both MAs working looked awful. One had super bright turquoise e/l on and it looked super cool except that it was creased in a mirror reflection on her eyelids. It certainly didn't make me want to by it.

Pretty much same story as Ralen81. I went to the metrotown one yesterday and found the perfect colour for a nude eyeshadow base (160), I went to ask for help and took one look at the sales girl and walked out. Her makeup was GROSS. Black eyeliner that has bled everywhere, it looked really dirty. Maybe she does not use Inglot or maybe she is just really bad with makeup, who knows but I ain't buying makeup she sells.

yea I agree with you. me and a friend of mine went in to check out their products because their store looked so bright and modern but when one of the MA's approached us we both pointed out the exact same thing; how poorly her make-up was done. that was such a turn off for me so we just left.
