I also swatched one of the gel liners I got. There's Inglot 78 on the left, Stila Smudge Pot in Black on the right. As you can see that the Inglot liner has a bit of a sheen when dried whereas Stila Smudge Pot dries flat matte.
This is a whopping 5.5 grams for $12 and it'll be going up to either $13 or $14. Considering the amount of colors it comes in it is definitely still worth it.
It looks more black in the pot but it shows up a nice charcoal gray. If you want a good picture you can look at my post yesterday where I wore it on my waterline.
My opinion on the brand itself is rather mixed. I really do like these eyeshadows and the plethora of colors and textures BUT I hate how Inglot went about the price increase.
There was no Press Release (bad form in my opinion) and Inglot's USA twitter was unaware of a US price increase until after I already knew about it.
I'm not very Business-World savvy but companies don't typically raise prices in an attempt to fund the expansion of the brand, they get investors and loans in order to build capital. Also, if this was in the works for months then why did no one get warning about it happening until about 5 days before the price change?
I wasn't able to stock up on the things I did like and was interested in before the change. No black gel liner, no Duraline, and most of the eyeshadows were only in square or round pans versus both.
Wow, I'm not a big fan of price increases but that is especially bad- for the eyeshadow that is a huge increase!
ReplyDeleteMai, thanks so much for doing your previous post on Inglot and reminding me to get my ass on the palettes before they increase. I love your blue palette. Do I feel a FOTD day with this palette?
ReplyDelete@Dainty Yeah it definitely is a huge increase all at once! This is a real turn off for all of the people who only recently heard about this brand
ReplyDelete@Mara haha you're welcome Mara, and I definitely have lots of ideas for this palette!
ohhh..it is a huge increase all at once! not good..I love Inglot eye shadows so have to buy it in any price.
ReplyDeleteI actually had to look to see if I had those shades, I love them :)
ReplyDeleteWhoa I love those shadows - it's really so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI got to agree on the price though ; A ; so expensive...
I've been hearing more about Inglot these days and the swatches are definitely gorgeous -- dare I say even more pigmented than UD O_o!?
ReplyDeleteExcellent post! If you want a really matte black eyeliner get Inglot's Matte Black Pigment in #87 & use with Duraline (hopefully they'll have some next time you go back).
ReplyDeleteIt's as black as Stila Smudge Pot (maybe even a bit darker with Duraline!) & easier to use. I use it as powder eyeshadow, eyeliner - top & waterline, as a, eyeshadow base & for faceart (eg Halloween). Love it!
The Smudge pot is sitting at the bottom of my drawer, sadly abandoned for now.
