Eyeshadow Swatches & Comparisons: Inglot Pearl 402

This post is long overdue!

 I bought a 10 round pan eyeshadow palette from Inglot for $32.15 + $2.85 tax when I was at IMATS in April 

and I finally took pictures of swatches for you guys. =). 

This post will only be about the Inglot Pearl 402 eyeshadow.

I will be posting swatches of the other Inglot eyeshadows as well as comparisons in the near future.

  

*Color Description*

All shades are taupey and have a plummy purple undertone
 

Urban Decay YDK - has a hint of a brown undertone; has a more plummy undertone than Inglot 

Pearl 402, Satin Taupe & Stray Dog; metallic frost finish with microglitters

Inglot Pearl 402 - light taupe with a brown undertone; shimmery finish

Stars Makeup Haven Breathless - the lightest and has the strongest plummy 
purple undertone among the 5 eyeshadows; shimmery finish 

Mac Satin Taupe - similar to Stray Dog, except Satin Taupe has a 

more plummy undertone with a shimmery finish 

Urban Decay Stray Dog - similar to Satin Taupe, except Stray Dog has a 

more brown undertone & a prettier metallic frost finish

 

*Inglot Empty Palette Problem*

I don't have pictures of the Inglot empty palette because I gave it to my friend. I don't like Inglot's palettes because they are magnetic and the magnets are super strong.You must slide the lid in order to remove it. If you lift the lid, you have a great chance of "nicking" or ruining your eyeshadows. Also, it is difficult to remove the eyeshadows from the palette. You need to use a magnet to lift the eyeshadow out. I prefer to use my empty 28 pan palette (review) because it holds more eyeshadows, it's lighter, and it's easy to reorganize my eyeshadows whenever I need to.

*Inglot Round Pan Eyeshadow*

Pros:

• pigmented, buttery and easy to blend
• no fallouts when I apply it
• doesn't crease & lasts all day on my eyes when used with a primer
• huge range of colors 
• fits in my CS empty 28 pan eyeshadow palette

  

Cons: 

• gets dusty and crumbly in the pan
• hit pan faster than Mac eyeshadows (which amounts to the same price as a Mac eyeshadow, since you will have to repurchase an Inglot eyeshadow faster)  
• round pan eyeshadows are not available to purchase online
• you can't buy eyeshadow refills unless you buy the Inglot palette or unless you bring your Inglot palette in store
• stores are currently limited in the US
• shipping costs around $8 (free shipping over $150)
  

Bottom Line: It's much more worth it to invest in a Mac eyeshadow since they last longer in the pan. Even though the Inglot round pan eyeshadows contain 1.6 grams - 1.8 grams of product, I will definitely hit pan faster with an Inglot round pan eyeshadow than with a Mac eyeshadow because I have used the Inglot Pearl 402 eyeshadow less than 10 times and there is already a small dent. I would only purchase the Inglot round pan eyeshadows if Inglot has shades that Mac doesn't carry, but I wouldn't purchase "Mac dupes" from Inglot.

However, it may be more worth it to buy the Inglot 10 square pan eyeshadow palette since each eyeshadow contains 2.3 grams - 2.7 grams and the whole palette retails for $60. The Inglot 10 round pan eyeshadow palette retails for $50. (I got the price information from Inglot's main website. Bloggers are reporting different prices for in-store and online purchases. The prices are inconsistent, so it's best to check your nearest Inglot store for prices if you plan on purchasing in-store.)

Side Note: I like Inglot eyeshadows more than Stars Makeup Haven & Coastal Scents eyeshadows because Inglot eyeshadows feel buttery and I don't get as much fallouts when I apply them on my eyes.

 

Note: Urban Decay Eyeshadows cost $17.00 for 1.5 grams at Nordstrom, Beauty.com, and Sephora. Mac Eyeshadows in pan form cost $11.00 for 1.5 grams (some of the eyeshadows have 1.3 grams) and cost $16 in pots. Stars Makeup Haven (SMH) raised their price from $4.95 to $6.00 for 1.3 grams. Coastal Scents (CS) eyeshadows cost $4.49 for 1.3 grams. The empty 28 pan palette can be purchased from Coastal Scents for $9.95.

Do you prefer Inglot or Mac eyeshadows?
