I have something really exciting to share with you all today!
There's this make-up brand that I've been trying to locate and try out for a couple of years now, but I've never been in an area that has that particular brand near by. However, this all changed when I found out that they have a store right across the border in Johor Bahru! Upon learning that, I immediately jumped upon the chance to head to JB with my grandparents.
The mysterious store is... INGLOT!
Alright, I was interested in this brand mainly due to their freedom system. The way it works is pretty simple, you pretty much pick out the colors and design your own palette. You can form different eyeshadow palettes in combinations of 2, 4, 5, or 10 square pans. They also have round pan options. You also have the option to build your own bronzer, blush, concealer, and lipstick.
It was so hard to not go overboard with the picking, but I finally decided on 8 colors to bring home.
I decided on 2 palettes of 5 squares as opposed to a palette of 10. I thought it would be easier for traveling should I just want to bring my self-created neutral palette.
Here are my Neutrals:
Here are the colors in my neutrals - matte white (373), pearl finished champagne (395) , shine finished rose-gold/taupe from noble collection (153) , matte soft brown (337), and matte black (63)
Next, I got an incomplete palette. It's mostly for colors... but as you can tell, I stuck to the pink/purple range.
I got the AMC shine light pastel pink (29), double sparkle light purple (493), and a pearl finished eggplant (446).
The color pigmentation of these shadows are amazing. They were really opaque and smooth to the touch. Even those with glitter-finishes were really blendable! In general, I find the quality of these shadows comparable to MAC.
The pricing of the individual pans and empty palette were surprisingly affordable! Each pan went for 30 Malaysian Ringgit (~ 11.50SGD & 9.3USD) and the empty palette was 35RM (~13.5SGD & 10.83USD). I believe that items sold in US outlets are a fraction cheaper.
Here's my review of everything in general:
Pros:
- High pigmentation
- Affordable
- Able to be personalized
- Quality is on par with MAC
- Cover is magnetic and the palettes are stackable and held together by magnets.
Cons:
- Not many Inglot stores can be found around the world. In fact, Malaysia has 5 outlets and they are the only ones in South-East Asia.
- There were not alot of colors to pick from compared to a MAC store
- Colors are identified with numbers, quite hard to remember compared to names
- It's pretty hard to remove the pans once it is in a slot. The sales-lady demonstrated it with a penknife.
This is a place that I definitely recommend!
The outlet that I went to was in Johor Bahru City Square, which is right next to the woodlands causeway point.
Below is a link showing all the Inglot outlets around the world. Hopefully there will be one close to you :)
let me know if you got any Inglot products and whether you love/hate it!
Love,
