Inglot Freedom System

Inglot, a makeup company established in Europe, has become ever popular among beauty gurus. Their Freedom System allows you to pick and choose your colours (eyeshadow, blush, powder, concealer etc) and organise/rearrange them in different sized pallettes, something like the MAC Pro palettes.
They use the same sort of magnetic attachment method, though I do find Inglot has stronger magnet thereby a more guaranteed/stronger hold when it comes to the palettes.
The great thing about Inglot is that their products are extremely affordable and the design/packaging, amount of product and product quality is amazing!

Here i'll be showing you and reviewing one of their palettes with 3 eyeshadows I chose.




PRICE:

The palette, including the 3 eyeshadows @ 3.5g each, came up to $27USD (incl taxes).
Compare this to the price of an empty MAC Pro palettes that hold 2 eyeshadows & 4 eyeshadows at $9USD plus the $12USD pricetag on each of the eyeshadow refill pans to go into the palette.


QUALITY:

I honestly canot speak for the quality of their lip products or eye pencils etc but their blushes, powders and eyeshadows are quite lovely.
Every single shade I swatched in the store was buttery smooth, extremely pigmented (EXTREMELY), didn't come off very easily and the "pans" were quite large.
So, if you must go in and purchase, I definitely recommend their eyeshadows (most of all), blushes (second of all) and powders...BUT THE EYESHADOWS ARE AMAZINGGGGGGG.
They also DO NOT TEST ON ANIMALS <3


PACKAGING:

The freedom system palettes are equally as amazing as the products you put in them. It's a magnetic base with a frosted, see-through cover which has "inglot" all over it.
I find it very convenient since you can still see the colours that are in the palette and the frosted effect is pretty. The magnets are incredibly strong!
The cover WILL NOT pop off just like that. If you hold the cover about an inch away from the base you will feel the resistance and if you're not holding it firmly the cover will fly and snap right back on.
The magnet that holds the pans in their respective slots is also quite strong.
The only problem I have with the design is that, unlike MAC, there is no groove/slot that allows you to wedge your finger nail in and pop out the shadow.
Should you feel the need to move/rearrange the pans you'll need to use a pin or something to slip around the side of the pan to pop it out (it's not as hard as it sounds though).
You can have a palette with up to 10 eyeshadow rounds or squares/ up to 4 blushes/ 2 powders/ 5 concealers/ 10 lipstick rounds etc.


COLOUR SELECTION:
Inglot has a huge, and beautiful, selection of shades.
The little problem I have though is that their colours have no actual name, just numbers.
In any case it doesn't take away from the fact that the product itself is highly pigmented, long wearing and a dream to apply.


*******************************

The shades I chose:
White/Chapagne: AMC Shine 30
Green: Pearl 433
Purple: Pearl 423







Makeup junkies looking to expand their collection, find new colours, try new products AND makeup newbies looking to build a collection and not break the bank...
You must try Inglot, especially the eyeshadows...zero disappointment.
