I was so excited about going to INGLOT that i made sure when i was in London that i went to Westfield shopping centre, there is also a store at Blue Water shopping centre in Kent (iv been told).
Inglot is a Polish brand which i believe to have started by producing nail varnish, it is now spreading accross teh world selling cosmetics and of course nail varnish!
So when i finally got to the shopping centre and found the store all the samples where on display there was loads of different producys and colour, i was in heaven!! The packaging reminds me of MAC with most items being in sleek black.
If i was to compare it to MAC (as a lot of peoploe have tried MAC) INGLOT is generally cheaper and of slightly less quality, only very slightly though.
I Brought a Cream foundation in colour 24 (£12 for 30ml), a Lip Duo (£9), a palette of 5 eyeshadows (£15), Lipstick (£9) and eyeshadow brush to fit in palette (£3).
Ill start with the eyeshadow, this is part of their 'Freedom' range which basically means you pic the colours you want in you palette, they do this for their eyeshados and powders (blush and bronzer etc..)
There was so many colours to chose from i couldn't decide, fortunatly one of teh lovely assistants gave me a hand and i got colours 434, 423, 402, 62 and 395 basically a highlight, taupe, brown, grey and black with pink shimmer. They are all great colours and are highly pigmented, they go on well, blend well the only issue is the staying power isn't quite as good as MAC so always use a base and you will be fine. Will deffinatly by again 5/5 compared to their price :)
The brush that goes in the palette is number 20P and has a small head on it and is great for all over color or half eyelid colour, good quality and no shedding so far.
The listick is color 53 and is a my lips but better colour or i can add more for a more dramatic colour, it goes on well and the texture is nice not drying but nmot that creamy that it slides off. Doesn't last all day without reappling but not many lippies do, i will deffo buy this in another colour on my next visit.
The Lip Duo in 21 opens into 2 halves, one is lip colour the other is gloss. The lip colour has a cery creamy glossy texture and elaves a suttle shine and the gloss perfectly compliments the other colour adding a shimmer. The colour is gorgeous but comes off on glasses and needs reapplying, so if anyone knows something that will keep my lip products on longer please let me know as i am yet to find one i like.
The assistant perfectly matched me to colour 24 in their cream foundation, it has a great texture and blends easily, this foundation seems impossible to put on wrong, has medium coverageand lasts well but not all day. Will repurcase when i run out as it is a great inexpensive foundation for days when i wont be out all day.
Overall i LOVE INGLOT and can't wait to be back in London to buy more. Please let me know what INGLOT products you did and didn't like so i know what to look for when i go back :) .
