On a recent trip to Connecticut I devised a plan to make a stop by the Inglot store in Paramus NJ…I guess you could say I bribed my parents and it worked! My dad was a little upset because I got us a little lost, but in the end we arrived at the Westfield's Garden State Mall at 6pm April 20th…yes I remember the time and day. I had heard a lot about Inglot from some of the youtubers and bloggers that I follow I knew I had to get my hands on it.
Being the great daughter that I am, I decided to put together a list of colors that I was interested in based on the website to speed up my time in the store. I think that method worked the best for me, without a list I would have spent all day in the store and my dad would have yelling even more.
The store reminds me a little of MAC, but has a friendlier feeling. Everyone working there isn’t made up to the hilt so it felt a little more inviting…sometimes when I go in MAC I feel like I HAVE to put something on my face. My helper was super friendly and didn’t try to push any products on me. I picked out the 8 colors on my list with the exception of 1 that was sold out and then selected 2 more to complete my 10 color palette. Then saw a pretty gold that I wanted and as I thought of buying a individual for 12 my helped talked me into buying a 2 color palette for 16. Overall, 12 shadows for 66 is a great deal.
Of course I started swatching as soon as I got in the car and couldn’t believe how pigmented the shadows were. I knew I’d found my new favorite company as far as eyeshadows go. Inglot used to have 2 palette types to choose from-square and round, but they’ve decided to phase the round palettes out. In pan holds 2.3g of product and will set you back 4.50 for the 10 palette fills. They have 3 finishes of product, matte, pearl and AMC, I decided to go with a mixture. Being as I have so many neutral palettes and shadows I knew I needed color in my life and that is exactly what I did. The only colors I got for the faint of heart was a gold and an olive green both pearl finishes. If I knew how much I would love the product I would have gotten a neutral palette as well…I’ve decided this is cause for another trip to the Garden State!
The packaging is unbelievable (in a good way) and really leaves me questioning some other companies such as MAC. The plastic is really thick and sturdy and magnetized to hold the shadows in place. The top to the palette has a really strong magnet that clasps if anywhere near the palette…be careful it will pinch your fingers and anything else in its way. The top will not fall of slip off without force, which really protects your product. After watching a video from Muffinismylovers I decided to write the shadow number on the palette to make it easier each time I needed to reference a color.
I am thoroughly impressed with Inglot and plan to order additional products such as lipstick, gloss, and skincare. I will be posting picture of looks soon. If you have any Inglot products be sure to let me know which ones and how you like them.
Happy Reading,
Jae
