| - I'm excited Inglot has arrived in Toronto. I'm not sure if it's recent or not, but I never noticed the store until this week.
Inglot is a little like MAC, in that the system is mostly modular. The company's term is "freedom system", but they basically sell singles (eyeshadows, face powders, blushes, concealers, etc) and their own brand palettes to put the singles in. All the pans and palettes are magnetic. The system is nice because each person basically can customise exactly what they'd like.
You know those makeup palettes that you bought for that one colour, on which you have hit pan and love dearly, and the rest of the palette has barely been touched? Yeah, I know we've all been guilty. That problem doesn't exist at Inglot.
Their products are also pretty high quality (I believe some professional makeup artists use Inglot). They also have tools such as makeup spatulas, flat metal palettes, sponges and other applicators, train cases and storage... in short, everything I need to pretend I'm a professional and I know what I'm doing.
My one problem here is the condition of the testers. Obviously I know it isn't realistic to expect them to be pristine, since all sorts of customers will be sticking their hands in them, but some were downright gross. The cream products especially--these sticky kind of products naturally trap dust and hairs, and some also had large chunks missing.
The sales associate was also a bit hovering, which always makes me uncomfortable, but some may prefer having someone there to answer questions. I guess it's a matter of personal taste, and I can definitely overlook it for the great products in the store.
