Inglot

Customer Service is horrendous and they sell you items online that are out of stock. Was looking to swap brand (I’m a makeup artist so my annual cosmetics bill is thousands of pounds) but it won’t be to this company.

Well first of all this is actually in Westfield, but whatever. I had a lot of fun at Inglot :) Went there after hearing about it over YouTube and decided to check it out to see what all the fuss is about.
For those who don’t know, Inglot is a cosmetics brand that sells everything from eyeshadows to nail polish. You can get things in singles or for certain products buy custom sets to save money. The staff are very helpful and they explain the whole system to you. While they’re a bit expensive (£27 for a 5 large eyeshadow palette), they’re actually much less expensive than MAC, which pales in comparison to the quality, at least when comparing eyeshadows.
There’s a wide range of products if you’re looking for a splurge, and there are some really unique colours to check out. If you like makeup, you should definitely check out this store :)

I’m a professional make up artist, and in the States, I’ve heard a lot of hype about this new brand, Inglot — specifically the buttery soft texture of the eyeshadows (making them extremely easy to blend), high pigmentation (so the colors stay true and a little goes a long way) and excellent value. My kit is made up of brands like Makeup Forever, MAC — so much MAC — Nars, OCC, etc, so I’m not easy to impress.
First off, i’ve been to this store 3 times and got vastly different service each time. The last time was the day before Christmas Eve, and a small, dark haired girl helped me and she was the right combination of informative and friendly without being pushy.
The store itself might be a tiny bit confusing to start with, since the eyeshadows are sold in small round pans or larger square pans to put in various different sizes of palette. I’ve bought 2 palettes with 10 square pans in each, and they’re outstanding value. 1 shadow would be £5, or 5 for £25 or 10 for £35. At MAC, that would buy me just a handful of shadows, even with my pro discount.
For the record, I wouldn’t buy mascara here, but I don’t buy MAC mascara either — it’s just not something either brand does well. I did buy an under eye concealer here that was comparable to Lancome’s waterproof concealer, but I have to say that I think eye shadows are what they do best. :) Beauty junkies should be able find a color they love here, no problem!

Inglot makes me want to remove my eyelashes and replace them with goose feathers. That would definitely be a detrimental adornment, so I’ll just go with the funky eyelashes that Inglot have to offer. This is a cosmetic store with all kinds of lipsticks, eye shadows and glosses. I am a MAC addict, so I definitely won’t be purchasing my mascara from here (even though it’s cheap, like £9), but I am interested in sprucing up my eye hair. I will come back and get some purple £8 eyelashes from here very soon as, since I don’t have a tree in my lounge, I need people to start placing Christmas presents in my eye sockets so I have something to open on Jesus’ birthday.
