Inglot Counters in Macy's: Bay Area

Beauty News:

Before this year, Inglot was only available online for me because there was no stores in the Bay Area. I always thought ordering Inglot online was inconvenient because their online store does not show any shade description at all, so before buying it online, I would have to search through many reviews (and a lot of times, they did not have much reviews on specific items I want).

The beginning of this year, I learned that they started to open up Inglot counters at select Macy's locations that has their impulse beauty section. The only one closet to me was in Downtown San Francisco. Being from San Francisco, I would avoid downtown at all costs. Parking is $3 per hour if you're lucky enough to find meter parking, or garages are around $4-$6 per hour depending on the time you enter and exit.

Today, I found out that other Inglot counters are opening around the Bay Area. On Inglot's store locator, it shows coming soon for Macy's Valleyfair (Santa Clara) & Macy's Stoneridge (Pleasanton). I heard that the Inglot in Pleasanton opened this weekend so I am thinking about checking it out soon, but to me, this was awesome news since Stoneridge and Valleyfair both have a parking structure for shoppers. I love going to Inglot counters because you can actually see and swatch everything first to see if you like it!

What do you think about Inglot? Have you purchased online from them? Do you prefer going to their counters/are there any counters near you?

Inglot Eyeshadow: 372

Swatches & Review

Over the summer, I purchased some Inglot eyeshadows with their Freedom System. Their Freedom System is when you basically pick out all your colors individually and buy their palette, which is magnetized to put it in. You don't have to buy their palette if you have other palettes, but I prefer their palette.

372 is a matte teal-blue. It kind of reminds me of a robin blue. It leans more blue, but you can also kind of see some slight green in it.

For the left swatch, I used Urban Decay's Primer Potion and I did not use any primer for the right swatch. As you can see, using a primer under it definitely brings the color out a lot more. For a matte, this was not chalky and it is not hard to blend. When I used it for the first time, it felt kind of hard, but after a few uses, the eyeshadow itself seems a lot smoother? It also packs a lot of color onto the brush so you do not have to swipe your brushes a few times to pick up the color, so it is very pigmented.

Overall, I like this shade & I do not have anything like this in my stash. I have been into mattes a lot more recently so this is one of the shades I have been using almost weekly, along with Urban Decay's Secret Service. I only have three Inglot eyeshadows and I have a 10-pan palette so I am looking forward to fill it up more! & I am also interested in trying some of their blushes as well :)

Have you tried any Inglot products? What do you like & what do you not like about it?
