Inglot Freedom System.

A few months ago I was lucky enough to visit the USA. While there I had some choices to make. H&M or Forever 21? Victoria Secret or Topshop? I ended up choosing all of those, but the biggest question my budget had posed to me all trip was "Sarah, what higher end eyeshadows are you going to buy?"

I'd long coveted both the Urban Decay Naked palettes. And I'd always wanted my own stash of Mac rounds. Both are raved about so much on Youtube and Beauty blogs and look amazing.
But I'd decided that I wanted something I could repurchase easily. I can't replace Urban decay all that easy over here in the land of Aus (although it may as well be Oz considering the prices we pay for things), and with Mac refills at $26 for a pan of only 1.5g it just didn't seem like a wallet friendly idea. That's when Inglot came into the picture.

Introducing my baby, the Freedom System 10 palette.

Colour numbers 

Top row; 07, 154, 25, 31, 409

Bottom row; 35, 353, 360, 329, 63

Super high quality, and fully customisable in seriously durable packaging. A frosted clear lid means you can see exactly what's inside and it swivels on and off with little magnets. The magnets are supposed to be able to get the shadows out of the palette, but its pretty tricky so I use a stronger magnet. Because of the magnets you can stack these babies on top of each other too. At around 2.5g of product per pan these are going to last me forever. I chose colours I knew that I would use almost daily, and I'm glad I did because I haven't been able to put these shadows down. With 4 neutral mattes, and the rest filled with shine, pearl or amc formulas I can do simple day time looks or super dark smoky eyes. The shadows are super pigmented and super blendable, with or without an eye primer.

Heavily swatched in same order as in pan.

For the 10 pan palette including eyeshadows it cost me $76 plus taxes. In Aus the price is $120 (I know, I know. Crazy)But you are getting a lot of product! The pans are huge compared to almost every other brand. They are by far the best shadows I have ever used, and you are only ever going to chose colours you know you will use. The amount of un-loved colours I have in palettes that I bought for the few colours I have loved is crazy! It does seem like a silly amount to spend on shadow, but I really do see the value and think it's 100% worth it. In fact I'm already thinking of colours to possibly make up another palette on my next trip over to USA. ;)

Super neutral eye using only the matte shadows.

Have you tried Inglots shadows?
