I perpetually find myself drawn to make-up palettes because they're a very visually appealing product, sleek packaging and masterfully selected eyeshadows looking alluring next to one another. On a more realistic second thought, I usually see that the colours that seem the most exciting to me are the bold and bright ones that don't suit me at all. If I bought the palette, I'd end up using approximately three eyeshadows similar to the ones I already wear all the time, so it's not worth it.
Because I could never find a palette where I'd use all the colours, I decided to build my own.
After reading several glowing reviews about Inglot eyeshadows on beauty blogs, I headed to Westfield, an enormous shopping centre in West London and home to the only Inglot store in the UK. Inglot is a Polish cosmetics company famous for their Freedom System palettes. The concept is simple: you buy an empty palette and fill it with your favourite products. These can be eyeshadows, blushers, lipsticks, concealers, brow powders, and setting powders. I'm pretty satisfied with the rest of my make-up collection, so I went for just the eyeshadows.
Finally, I have a palette that's as useful as it's beautiful.

I had to laugh because that used to happen to me ALL THE TIME :D until I made a firm decision to stop buying make up unless I REALLY need and use it.
nice choice of eyeshadows, I think they'll suit you very well!
I made that decision too ... Several times. :) But seriously, it's much easier to curb your enthusiasm once you know what colours suit you.
You're right about make-up palette. I know that make-up palettes allows you to wear whatever eyeshadow you fancy based on your mood and trend but sadly most of the shades are too tacky for me to wear.
I didn't know that Inglot allows you to buy an empty palette and choose whatever shades you want, so thanks for this. I usually buy Japanese makeup brands because the shades look better on me but I think I should give Inglot a try then because they have an interesting concept.
It's a great concept, and another great thing about Inglot is that they don't test on animals. I've tried all the eye shadows in my palette by now and I'm very impressed, will continue to buy Inglot.
I love inglot eyeshadows, I have been looking to buy some more and have been searching the internet for colours I like. I always get so confused when I go instore, I like to write down colours I think I will like and then look at them in person.
I adore the colours you have picked for your palette, any chance you can let me know what colours they are???
Thank you for your post :)
Hi Liz! Sorry, I'm afraid I don't know the colour numbers - did not write them down before I put the eyeshadows into the palette.
I adore this palette! Can you post what all the numbers please?
