Doesn't make much sense
Buying this thing doesn't really make much sense. It is much more reasonable to buy a bigger palette, like one of those with glass cover, even if you don't want more shadow at this moment. It will be cheaper and you can always add more shadows. This is made of plastic and doesn't appear to be very solid. Another thing is that you cannot buy the applicator that is added. Other Inglot's applicators are too big for the case, however this may change in the future.
When I saw that Polish Sephoras have this palette in stock (which was weird as there're no Urban Decay counters or anything in here) I had to buy it. I didn't even look closer I just bought it because the first one is such a cult product I knew I had to try it. I love the packaging and the brush is quite usefull. The pigmentation and the range of colors is great. However, I wish the variety of finishes was bigger. There are only 3 mattes, I wish some of the darker colors were matte to, not only black. I find myself using maybe a half of the shadows as I don't like my make up to be all shimmery. On the other hand I really like the shimmery, glittery gold and copper, they can really do for the whole look :)
Surprise
I almost didn't get this one. I went to a drug store to get my Falsies, but I saw this one. I heard a lot of hype about the Rocket, but I wasn't fond of the brush as I usually hate plastic wands. Like, I really do not like them. However, i decided to give it a go and I'm really pleasently surprised. The mascara needs a bit of time, but when applied carefully it really works. I usually put one VERY thin coat and if I need to I run through them with my lash comb and then apply the second coat. It doesn't stick my lashes together very much, it makes them much longer and thicker. It looks like I have twice as many lashes as before. The only thing I don't really like is the wand, although it works, I can't quite feel it and sometimes i stab myself in the eye.
This is probably my favorite lip product from Inglot. It is matte but doesn' dry out lips that much and it stays on veeeery long. The range of colors is also very nice. There are very pretty nudy pinks and stronger colors like hot pink or reds. They are very pigmented so you can go for a very strong lip or use only a little for a softer look. The pencil is very handy as you can have your lip liner and lipstick in just one pencil.
Maybe my hopes were to high?
I wanted to buy this kit for a long time, but the price at Sephora wasn't very tempting. Finally, I got it on sale. If I've paid for it the full price I probably would be more unpleasently surprised than now. To start from positives, the color is very nice and I like that it is very easy to do, dries really fast and is quite easy to take off. On the other hand, you have to get really a lot of the crushed velvet on a nails to get the effect and it doesn't last at all. I did my nails in the evening and when I was going to sleep few hours later, I could see places where the velvet rubbed off. By the noon the next day, I could feel it on maybe 2 nails and the rest looked like I went to bed with wet nails and got the material stick to them. The polish rubbed off and chipped from the ends of my nails so it looked a bit gross. However, I might use it in future for like a night out for couple of hours or something.
This is a product I use in almost every make up. I got this in black, white, dark blue, light blue and light pink. I always put this on my waterline as it stays there all day and if you put black on your upper waterline it won't transfer to the lower so you can use different color there. I often use the white one as a base for my bright looks, however it may be a little drying so I don't recommend using it as a base on everyday basis. I used to work at Inglot for almost a year and the best way to make it wet again after it dries out is to mix it with Duraline. I often do it even if my liner is still in good condition, as I like the texture better, it's not that thick and it's easier for me to do a cat eye. But then, it's even harder to remove it :p
