My Second Naked Palette

Even though they have been around for 25 years, I feel Inglot is still quite a new brand for us Irish girls. It first came to Dublin in 2009 and I have to say I really love their products. I guess the brand is similar to Mac in product range and quality without the hefty price tag. Now don't get me wrong, I love Mac as much as the next girl but being 'between jobs' as they say, at the moment I find myself turning towards cheaper brands.

In Inglot you can buy eyeshadows, lipsticks etc individually but the Freedom System is much better value (and more fun!) First you choose your palette, you can get all different sized ones for eyeshadow, lipstick, blush etc. Then they give you this little magnetic tile and you choose your shades from the many available. You then hand the shop assistant the tile and they go away and put them in the palette for you.You can also mix and match different makeup products in the same palette.

My most recent purchase was a 10 eye shadow palette from the Freedom System range. Now my sister looked at me as if I had two heads when I showed her the colours I chose (a selection of light and dark neutrals) as I already have the Urban Decay Naked Palette but I really love my neutrals and in my opinion the colours I got in Inglot kinda fill in the gaps in the naked palette (not that there are many). So anyway enough waffle and on to the pictures.

Top row L-R: AMC Shine 31, AMC Shinee 26, AMC Shine 07, Pearl 406, Pearl 409. Bottom row L-R: D.S 465, Pearl 421, Pearl 423, Pearl 446, Brow wax 573

I have to say I'm so happy with this palette. The eyeshadow colours are great quality and so pigmented but for some reason look slightly different in these photos to how they look in real life. The brow wax is really lovely too. It makes such a huge difference to your face when you apply it to your brows, it makes your makeup look so much more polished and finished if you know what I mean. This palette cost €50 (brilliant value when the individual eyeshadows are €10 each) and Inglot is available at Dundrum, Liffey Valley, Blanchardstown and the Jervis Centre.
