Inglot Cosmetics - European/Polish brand

I am sooo disappointed, I just found out that Inglot at the Rideau Center (Ottawa) will be closed in a few days! Apparently they were given 2 weeks notice and everything is half off! Unfortunately I didn't know this until I just happend to walk by it today and saw all the signs, so there wasn't much goodies left

If anyone in London wanted to know if there is a store here then visit the Westfield, it's in Shepherd's Bush/White City and you can get the Central Line there on the tube. The make-up looks fab, I haven't bought any yet as I'm so broke at the moment

but I have to tell you that the shadows are very pigmented and the colour range of polishes is insane!


I live a few minutes away from the Westfield and finally went in there yday cuz I've been reading a lot on here about Inglot. I was really stunned @ the prices! They have a medium sized train case for £35! I've searched high and low for a decent looking one and was not about to shell out for a MAC case. I'm going back to get it on payday :p

There are a few other things I'll be picking up as well. The MA I had was very generous w/ samples so i'm trying out some stuff over the next few days to help me decide. All in all, it wasn't too bad an experience.

^^Um come again? Train case £35...was it black by any chance? I've been searching high and low and so far I've found one for £45...You guys have me itching to go there now!

^^ Yup! I paid all of 35 quid for a black fiberglass (?) one that looks quite like the MAC traincase except this has 6 folding trays. It's quite sizeable too. I think I'm going to need another one, I didn't realize how much stuff I had cuz they were all in bags all over the place and I've been buying a lot lately. I also looked long and hard but could not find one i liked enough to actually pay a lot of money. I can't vouch for durability cuz I only got it on Monday but for the price I'm very happy!

They also have a big trolley case like what make-up artists use to cart their stuff for, wait for it *insert drum roll*, 75 quid. I might upgrade to this rather than buying another medium sized one.

I fell out when the MA told me how much it was. She had to call 2 other girls over to confirm. It has 3 levels/layers IIRC and a detachable trolley. The top two layers have the same layout as the normal traincase and the bottom layer has a tray and dividers in the bottom half.

My only gripe is that there are no dividers in the bottom of the regular ones but that is easily remedied. Oh, they also have a small traincase w/out expandable trays for 15 quid (gosh i dislike the word quid but my laptop has an american keyboard so no pound sign!)

Sorry for the long post but I've been in a gushy mood since getting mine on monday. GET IT!!!!!

Thank you so much sounds like just what I may need! Oh and I hate when I have an American keyboard, nothing is where you expect it to be!

Went back to the store...again and got some lashes and their brush cleaner for 27 pounds. I'm so in love w/ their prices. I just need to pluck up the courage to wear outrageous lashes.

I think Inglot's prices are SO appealing! I actually think I'm starting to like it more than MAC!

I live in Poland - and it's a well-known and appreciated brand here
smiles.gif

Personally I stick to rather subdued shades and colours, but the price/quality relation is really good. The nail polish IS really sturdy, and I appreciate that in my job, too. I don't know if their image is a rip-off from MAC ( they don't have any shops around here, I've only heard about them from some friends of mine), but what I've read it has alvays been like that down here in Poland.
What's funny - noone I know had an idea these cosmetics are being sold abroad
smiles.gif
They got popular by word of mouth in Poland and I have never seen any advertising concerning this brand, let alone any news about it's success over the ocean

Happy holidays and all the best to the MAC and Inglot fans

I went to Westfield in london on the 29th and visited Inglot and WOW its amazing. I took a few pictures of the 182 dupe and my pro 5 palettes
thmbup.gif

I also got a white gel eyeliner that i used as the base in the pictures, and i also swatched on bare skin to show without a base - they have REALLY good staying power and colour payoff, i'm actually beginning to like Ingot more than mac
amazed.gif

That stuff doesn't budge.

Swatches with and without base

And then after very vigorous scrubbing with a wet-wipe (until my skin was sore)

The 182 dupe, it is literally EXACTLY the same as the mac kabuki

A quick look (its a bit sloppy) using my new palettes and eyeliner :)

Hopes this helps someone :)

I first bought Inglot in Poland in 2004---only bought it because it was cheap (1 USD = 3.5 Zloty at the time!), they had such a wide variety of colors and because of the Freedom System concept was fantastic. I absolutely LOVE the make-up--I travel M-Th every week for work and having my eye makeup and blush contained in one small tray is perfect!

I have returned to Poland a few times since my initial purchase and re-filled my Freedom System each time. I am almost out of my "daily wear" colors and need to refill. Unfortunately I doubt I'll be returning to Poland or Australia anytime soon---so a trip to Canada is my only option. Can someone confirm that the stores currently listed on the Inglot Canada web site are still open? The page is dated April 2008 and obviously a lot can happen in 9ish months.

http://www.inglotcanada.com/

I am taking a short trip to London in March so if anyone has a link to the London locations, that would be great. I'll be doing the normal touristy stuff (bringing along a first time London visitor so I have to be nice and pretend it's my first time) and something near Oxford/Bond would fit nicely into our shopping schedule.

Cheers!

Hi all - just a quick note to say that I have done some comparisons of the new Inglot gel eyeliner.

This is the thread: http://specktra.net/f167/omg-ive-fou...7/#post1441117

It compares the black gel eyeliner to feline and blacktrack... and the Inglot eyeliner came off much better against both of them. I am now a complete convert with these eyeliners!

I have also tried the purple one (#75) in this FOTD: http://specktra.net/f166/first-fotd-...1/#post1443431
Also have the dark brown one and a sample of the teal one, but havent used those yet...

Hey makeupmadb! Sorry it's taken me a million years to reply, I don't come in here often. I don't have pictures of the actual case but this should give you an idea of how much it holds (bear in mind that I have added a lot to my collection in the last few weeks and all my brushes don't live in there) http://public.fotki.com/foizzy/collectionpics051208/.

I'll try and take pictures of the case in the next few days

I don't know for Ontario, but as for all the locations in Quebec, it's right.
I always go to their store

i love inglot, i bought it in poland very cheaply!
here are some pictures:
http://img.makeupalley.com/6/0/0/2/1112669.JPG
the freedom system thing, 5 eyeshadows which cost me around £6 and i chose the eyeshadows

http://img.makeupalley.com/6/0/0/2/1112688.JPG
top lippy: mac pure rose from ungaro
middle: 112 from inglot
bottom: mac myth
the texture on this is GREAT and it's very pigmented

i also got a nail polish. the single e/s are SO pigmented, especially the brights. i had a neon yellow swatch that refused to budge, even after a shower.
