Guide to Inglot Cosmetics

Its been what, barely two years since Inglot exploded into the consciousness of the Indian beauty blogger, and has since then stolen their hearts thanks to their quality, freedom system & of course, prices. For those of you who are new to this Polish brand, below is a quick guide to stuff I like in their range, and of course, stuff I don't fancy.


Must try products: 


1. Inglot Nail Enamel (only flakies) - 202 to 205: I only have 203 at the moment which is this gorgeous blue - green aqua type flakie, but I cannot wait to lay my hands on the rest. Priced at Rs. 490/- they are a bit steep, but in my opinion totally worth the beautiful effect!


Inglot Freedom System Eyeshadows

2. Inglot Freedom system eyeshadows: The colors, the different finishes, and most importantly the price compared to MAC make these a good deal. The only eyeshadow I have from MAC is from the Prolong Wear Range and obviously these don't last as long as that on my oily lids. But with a primer they do good. Try and get the square ones coz they have more product and are priced the same at Rs. 300/-.

3. Inglot AMC Matt Lip Pencil: I have 3 of these in red, berry and a neutral shade. That is how much I love these. Yes, they are drying, but since I wear them over MAC Prep + Prime Lip, I have never experienced any issue. I am a big fan of matt finishes (in lips, eyes & blushes) and actually like matt lip products as I feel they pack a lot more pigment - a must because of my pigmented lips. Costs Rs. 720/-


4. Inglot pigments: You wanna play with pigments but haven't the budget for the big daddies? Try the Inglot ones. I have one in gold (234) that looks good with Indian wear and lasts from morning to evening, fading very little.
Inglot Lash Curler, #203 flakie & #207 Holo Glitter


5. Inglot Plastic Eyelash curler: This one is only for those with a morbid fear of the eyelash curler. Despite blogging on beauty for more than 3 & 1/2 years, I have never been able to muster to guts to use the metal lash curler more than once. It just scares the bejeezus outta me. That metal mouth waiting to clamp over my delicate eyes - stuff of nightmares, I tell you. Thank goodness for this cute one that Inglot makes, it is black, made of plastic and doesn't look scary at all! It does an okay job, tbh. But then faced with the prospect of either this or no curling ever, I'd take this. Costs Rs. 250/-


Products that didn't impress me: 


Inglot Nail Enamel in #960
1. Inglot Nail Enamel (the regular range): Yes, they are the big 3 free and all that jazz, but 490 bucks for just a tiny 8 ml bottle of nail paint seems excessive to me.


2. Inglot soft precision pencil eyeliners: I have one in purple, and that scared me enough to never bother getting any more from this range. The one I have lacks pigmentation and just didn't impress me at all.

Inglot Freedom System Lipsticks


3. Inglot freedom system lip pans: There is nothing wrong with the product here, the quality is awesome & so is the color range. But just that having to apply it with a lip brush on rushed office mornings means that I barely use any of these. They are cumbersome to carry to office for touch-ups and Inglot doesn't provide a complimentary lip brush with them. My Body Shop one, doesn't fit and I have to carry that separately. Too much hassle.

To purchase: While Inglot has stand alone stores in Mumbai (Infinity - II Mall) and Delhi, they can also be purchased online from http://www.majorbrands.in/

I have purchased around 4-5 times from this site and never faced any major issues. Products have always arrived undamaged and generally within a week to ten days of placing the order. Another advantage of shopping from the site is that they have frequent sales (generally 20% to 30%) on Inglot, plus one need not buy the empty palette while purchasing refills (something the store staff seems to insist on). Their customer service is quite responsive, and always follow through to resolve any issues.

The only issue with shopping online has more to do with Inglot's weird nomenclature system - only numbers! It may be more efficient for them, but I find it very, very confusing. I think they can come up with names for their products very easily. In the store, it is still okay dealing with numbers, but online it is nightmare trying to remember what you have and what you don't. Also there are no descriptions of any of the shades or colors from Inglot. As a result, the last time I shopped from here, I bought a holo glitter instead of a flakie nail paint because the tiny CGI swatch was very confusing.

So what are your favorite products from Inglot?

  3. This is a lovely post Tanveer. I agree on the problem of the palettes, but then, for the price and the quality, I would not complain. Last time I got their lipstick which I just love!
    I am contemplating some sqare shadows. I really don;t understand why Inglot doesn't sell the shadows without the palettes. What's the point of refills then. I personally feel, if they did not have a stupid policy like that, the sale would go up even in the stores as well.

    1. Thanks Nivedita! :D.. Their quality is good and the refills are priced pretty decently. I agree with you about the palette policy they have in-store. I don't understand why they need to shove those over priced palettes as some kind of mandatory requirement.

  5. Inglot has been my HG brand for past over 3.5 years and I love their quality,packaging,store layout,pricing and online shopping option. Only thing that puts me off is their empty palette pricing which is insanely high.Rest I'd happily be marooned on an island with my favorite Inglot goodies. I totally love this brand :D

  7. i was thinking of picking up their e/s from their store but was wondering if they sell refills without the palette..thanks for answering that one, Tanveer...if i have to buy the whole palette for one 300 bucks worth e/s, then i'd rather not buy..pathetic store policy!!
