Item of the week - August 2013

Here we have the Inglot Cosmetics freedom system! Inglot is a Polish brand and is expanding all over the world. Inglot is 'famous' for their extremely pigmented eye shadows of which I am a big fan.

If you go to their website www.inglotcosmetics.com you can find the links of the webstores available per country, so hopefully your country is there too :)

The freedom system is great and lets you customize your palettes. They have different sizes and also a few combinations; so you can have a palette with 3 eye shadows and a blush for example.

Prices vary per country but are cheapest in the US, so whenever I travel to the US I try to make a visit to the local Inlot store. Make sure you check out their brushes and nailpolishes too!

So let's take a look at this crazy pigmentation of their eyeshadows. In the picture on the left I pulled out a few very bright colors, colors that usually are hard to find with good pigmentation. I swatched the red and the yellow once, and as you can see in the picture: fabulous pigmentation, what you see is what you get.

Lot's to chose from too, They have over 140 colors, and a great selection of matt shades.

So as I was saying prices vary per country; but one eye shadow is $ 6,- US, CA $ 8,- and € 5,50. Cheaper than one MAC eyeshadow and with a similar quality.

I love the look of the palettes with a magnetic lid that snaps into place, but they are quite heavy.

Here we have a beautiful brush set by Sigma Beauty. This is a premium professional brush set, but if you just like makeup and want to buy a nice set that includes most brushes, this would be a great deal for you!

The brush set includes 15 brushes and a great brush holder to take your brushes everywhere. Also if you are a beginning makeup artist, this is a great set to start your brush collection with, without spending a fortune on it. The quality is great and they are easy to clean. I have a lot of Sigma Beauty brushes that I use every day for over a year, and they still look and feel great: no shedding or handles that fall apart.

The price of the set is $ 164.- US and you can order yours on www.sigmabeauty.com
