INGLOT REVIEW!

If you’re a makeup junkie like me, then you know just how hard it is to find the perfect eyeshadow palette. Personally, I tend to gravitate towards more natural toned colors, and while the naked palettes are fantastic, I can only last so long before getting bored. Every palette I come across is either too close to ones I already have (i.e. naked palette dupes) or have completely outlandish shades that I know I’ll never use. The only solution I’ve been able to come up with, is why not make your own palette? Most companies I’ve come across that offer this function are a little bit more on the expensive side. And while I love my MAC palette, lately I’ve been craving something more.

I moved to NYC recently and stumbled upon a little store in Times Square called Inglot. I had heard of Inglot in the past by some of my favorite beauty gurus but had never encountered the products first hand. It was an even more magical experience than I imagined it would be. There were trays of eyeshadows everywhere that you got to choose from to build your own palette. The customer service was unlike any I had ever recieved. The sales associate stuck by me as I swatched color after color, dealt with my comments about how some colors were exact MAC dupes, and was even able to deal with my picky habits. All in all, I ended up with a quad palette ($10) and four beautiful (and full sized) shadows for only $6 each. 

The first shadow I picked was the beautiful gold that brings out the blue in my eyes more than any color has before. I then chose a warm toned brown color with a hint of copper to it to blend into the crease. I decided that I wanted a darker color to add on when I go out at night, so I chose the dark brown that almost has a purple feel to it. Since all the other colors I got were sparkly, I decided to go with a matte hi-light color. 

Never have I ever encountered an eyeshadow as pigmented as the Inglot shades. With only a little bit of shadow on my brush I was left with a sweep of color across my lid that looked EXACTLY like the color in the pan. For makeup junkies like me, you know that’s sometimes a hard thing to achieve.

So to top this post off - I’m completely obsessed with Inglot eyeshadows and completely regret not getting the bigger palette. Let me know what your favorite palettes are below!

 

(Here's what the shadows looked like on. I have the gold across the lid with the light brown blended into the crease and the mate color as a hi-light!)
