Inglot Eyeshadow Review with Swatches

So I've been on a roll with my swatches and reviews and I thought why not keep it going.

What it is: Inglot eyeshadows come in a variety of colors and finishes. The finishes are:

AMC(Advanced Makeup Component)~matte with shimmer
AMC Shine~metallic sheen with shimmer
D.S.(Double Sparkle)~matte with iridescent shimmer
Matte
Pearl~pearlized sheen

The eyeshadows are very pigmented. I have found that the matte textures are some of the most pigmented. They have a soft powder feel and texture to them. One swipe is all you need for full color payoff. The double sparkle texture is matte with bits of shimmer and sparkle. These are also very pigmented. The sparkle is not so apparent when applied on the eye. The AMC textures are similar to the double sparkle, because they are a matte base with bits of shimmer as well. The AMC shine has a sheen texture with shimmer, and almost look metallic. The pearl finish gives off a beautiful sheen. They have buttery feel to them and are quite pigmented.

The shadows come in what Inglot calls the Freedom System. This system allows you to choose which colors you would like in your palette. You are able to choose whether you would like square or round eyeshadows. I chose square because they were different from all the round shadows I already have.  When you go to the store they give you a big magnetic palette to place your colors on. The order you place them on the palette is the order that they put them in your palette to take home. You can also just ask to place them in the palette yourself, which is what I do, because I'm a bit anal...lol! The palettes are very sturdy and durable. They attach to one another by magnets, which are very strong.

The round shadow palettes come in 2, 3, 5, or 10. The square shadow palettes come in 2, 4, 5, or 10. The eyeshadows are sold by the palette only and not individually. They do sell eyeshadows that come in pots as well. Those shadows are not available in palette form. Here is a bit of information from Inglot's website about the freedom system:

What I think: Overall, I am really pleased with the quality of these shadows. They are super pigmented, and only require a small amount of product for full color payoff. The colors apply with ease and blend well. Applied with a base the wear is long lasting.

I don't like that the colors are packed so tightly in the palettes. I have to use a nail file to pry the product out of the palette, and have nicked or cracked some of my shadows! *sad face* So if you want to know what the colors are I strongly suggest that you label the palette before putting the colors in.  I wish that they would make a small hole under each shadow like the La Femme or Ben Nye palette so that you could just poke the color out.  Also, the matte shadows can be a little powdery and are easily cracked, so you have to be gentle. Other than that, I would highly recommend these shadows.

You can call the New York store if you would like to place an order. Minimum order is 100.00. You get free shipping for any order of 150.00 or more. The number is: 212.247.8169.
