Re: Inglot Cosmetics - European/Polish brand

I just stumbled upon the Inglot store on broadway [NYC] and what caught my attention at first was the eerie similarity to MAC but I was super impressed. They are a bit cheaper and their color payoff [eyeshadows] is amazing. Super pigmented. The eyeshadow staying power is impressive as well. It stayed on well over 6 hours without any eyeshadow base, didn't crease and I still had to get it off using soap and water ... I don't know much about their other products but if they're as good as the eyeshadows ... MAC's got some serious competition coming.

I know you asked for this AAAAGES ago, but I bought the 5-shade palette for £15.

They've opened a store in Dublin too, and it's way overpriced compared to the UK. I did buy a second palette, ended up getting one of the shades the same as in the first... so silly! Cost me €20 but I believe it was a special offer, their usually €28 (for the 5 shade one)

I did buy the black gel eyeliner - most powerful gel eyeliner out there, hands down! EVERYONE should own it! It does wreck yer brushes though, so make sure you don't let it dry into them. I got a 3 shade lipstick palette too, which is great! Two palettes and so many looks achieved out of them. I could go on and on...

Re: Inglot Cosmetics - European/Polish brand

So so so... I went today
Omg, they changed a lot of stuff
They stopped one thing for good tho, before when you wanted a Freedom palette, you had to buy it full and if you wanted a refill you had to prove you finished one color.

Now, you can buy any type of palettes, even the whole magneted bottom one, and then you chose your colors. The pans are now 10$, but they downsized them to MAC's format, before they were like MUFE. They still have MUFE's size, but in a pot, and it's 15$ each.

The colors ARE TO DIE FOR... omg I was drooling
My next big expense will probably be there, the e/s formula was changed and is now smoother (next to creamy but still powder), more pigmented and they have a LOT of choice.

Re: Inglot Cosmetics - European/Polish brand

I got a 10-shade palette today. I actually went in to get one for my sister's birthday in a few weeks, but as it's my birthday in a few days I couldn't resist It's a different format from the Freedom palettes I've seen online - a magnetised palette with 10 rectangular (almost square) shadows. Will take some pics if I get time. I love the colour choice Inglot has, though I struggled to find many matte options. However I'm very happy with the colours I got

The only one I know of that's still around is in Westfield London (Shepherd's Bush tube stop). I'm heading out there tomorrow actually

There used to be another one somewhere (Bluewater??) but I think it closed down a while ago.

Re: Inglot Cosmetics - European/Polish brand

^ Also, regarding websites, the only active one I know of is for Malta:
INGLOT - Malta :: Welcome ::

There used to be a really good one for Australia which had a lot more product info on it, but unfortunately it's been under construction for a while now.

I did also pick up a catalogue/price list for brushes (in pounds sterling) so if you want to know anything about brushes I might be able to help.

Their product range is so massive, I'm not even sure where to start... The Freedom palettes come in about a dozen different sizes and shapes - you choose your own colours and what sort of product goes in there. I'm not sure how much the 3-pans or 4-pans are, but I think the 5-pan palettes are £15 (any combo of eye shadow, lipstick, concealer, or brow powder). The magnetic 10-pan eyeshadow palettes are £35 (just posted pics on my blog if you want to see what I'm referring to), or you can get a 30-pan eyeshadow palette for about £80. Then there's a lot of sizes in between around the £20-30 mark, that hold blush, powder and eyeshadow. I'm not sure how it would work with a CP on these custom palettes though as the colour choice is massive and you just fill your palette with whatever you want - you'd have to give whoever's buying some clear guidelines on what colours you like!

I also recently got a cream blush (£8) and bronzer/highlighter combo (about £12 I think) and face primer (£12).

Re: Inglot Cosmetics - European/Polish brand

^The cream blush is wonderful I just hope it doesn't dry out any time soon...

I bought a lot of their brushes recently and I can attest that they are fantastic!

Re: Inglot Cosmetics - European/Polish brand

I got a chance to check out some of the line at The Artist Summit and I was in love. I can't wait to see more. The quality and price point blew me away. It is about the price of MAC, in some cases cheaper, and they are really pigmented and easy to apply. I was in love with the loose pigments & the face powders. The pigments were so smooth and vibrant and the powder was the silkiest I have ever felt.

Re: Inglot Cosmetics - European/Polish brand

I'm still loving my Inglot palettes!! I'm thinking of getting a blush/and or lip palette, as a third "layer" to my magnetic eyeshadow palettes. Trying to be strong but I'm just a sucker for palettes.

Re: Inglot Cosmetics - European/Polish brand

I first walked in to Inglot in Warsaw this summer. The makeup line does feel very cheap (in a bad way) and yes, they have a lot of MAC dupes. Though I'd say MAC are equal in creating dupes from other brands. It's a circus.
Anyhow Inglot do carry a heavy range of colours, a lot of them giving me a feel of uniqueness. I found that perfect vibrant yet light pink that I've been looking for so long to create great combos with TMM "after glow" and MAC "magenta madness".

Inglot stores feel more like Make Up Store or FACE Stockholm than MAC. Anyone who's ever been to one of those stores know what I mean.

Inglots eyeshadows feel a lot more powdery than MAC, but are way similiar to MUS, FACE or even IsaDora.
I see a lot of comments on Inglot being pricey! But when I was in Warsaw this summer i got several trio-palettes from the freedom system for 10 dollars each. That's about 70 SEK and I get ONE MAc eye shadow for 155 SEK so I'm really pleased.
Also you need a stickier base for Inglot, I find that NYX jumbo eye pencils work almost too good but UDPP is not quite sticky enough (and this is the first eye shadow ever to crease with UDPP for me). And the shadows apply better with sponge applicators or fingers than with brushes...

Hm, that's all I could think of for now.

Oh no! One more thing! Have you tried their nail art nail polishes? The ones with really long and thin bristles? I LOVE THEM! And so cheap cheap cheap!
To compare prices with MAC Inglot nail polishes are almost 50 SEK while MAC costs 120 SEK. So yeah, I can live with a little quality drop out ;D

Though that comment about the brand being over 20 years old? I'm REALLY sceptical having family in Poland and being half polish mysel I know that 20 years ago Poland hand a communist regim and according to my grandmother and aunt private companies didn't exist back then.

Re: Inglot Cosmetics - European/Polish brand

maktgalena, do you by any chance remember the price for the 30 eyeshadow freedom palette? i read somewhere that they are 70 PLN in warsaw. that would be around 18 euros, which seems way to low to me.
post #264 of 760

Re: Inglot Cosmetics - European/Polish brand

I don't have many products from Inglot but they have really nice nude pink & lavender lipsticks. I also bought a bronzer today from there and they have the BEST bronzers ever, it's so so pigmented! Way better than other bronzers I tried (MAC, Stila...). I also love how you buy one product and get the other one 50% off. I find that most of their sales persons working there are snobby, don't know anything & arent't helpful at all but there's a really nice MA from there at Fairview Pointe Claire. I will definitaly buy more products from them.

* Note that unlike MAC, if you buy a product and you're not satisfied with it, you can't return it if you already used it. If it's never used, you can exchange but not return.

The fall of communism was in 1989 - 20 years ago. That's the year the Berlin Wall was torn down, the USSR renounced influence in Eastern European countries and, more importantly for Poland, the Solidarity trade unions were re-legalized, eventually leading to the election of Solidarity candidates for almost all the open parliamentary seats, with Jaruzelski as president, and the institution of a rapid-reform economic plan (the Balcerowicz Plan - a version of Shock Therapy developed by Jeffrey Sachs).

Aside from that, Poland still managed to maintain a certain degree of private enterprise even under the Communist regime, especially if these were not a threat to state-owned 'companies'.

It's certainly possible for a small, private cosmetics manufacturer to have existed over 20 years ago, and have grown since the rise of capitalism.

You're from the west island too?? lol

I work in at the sephora in fairview, and i never go into inglot. When they first opened i bought two eye shadows and found them so so chalky. I went back to ask about this and the MA told me if i want good payoff to go with the AMC line. Why dont you just make all the shadows with good payoff, not a select few and the rest are chalk and crap? Ive also gotten pigments there and while the colours in the pots are STUNNING they too are chalky. I find it very uninviting in there. Every time i pass by, the MA's always seem to be giving sour looks to the passers by. Also, every time ive gone in, the MA's didnt know prices, or couldn't recommend something. All they would do is try and sell me on the freedom palette...

Re: Inglot Cosmetics - European/Polish brand

I love Inglot! Their mattes arent the best, agreed, though I have one of them that I would buy again just because of its colour, but their new pearl finish shadows are TDF - better than MAC AFAIC and cheaper too by almost 60%, for the propans anyway. They have a super colour range!! And I disagree with those who say the shadows are chalky, their pearl finishes are creamy and super soft/velvety/blendable - really beautiful!

I am in love with their lippie range, they do have a beautiful pale lilac and they also have the creme glosses which are pretty damn nice. The lipglosses are very pretty too!

Havent tried the creme blushes yet, but will do eventually. The palettes however suck.... they are heavy and cumbersome and I vastly prefer my MAC palettes!! The heaviness of the palette and limited wells means that you need mulitple levels to achieve the same storage as a MAC palette and I dont like the magnet - yes they are firmly held closed, but they are a real pain in the ass to get open/off because of that.

Overall though Inglot gets a big thumbs up from me and the price really cant be overlooked - I'll keep going back!
