INGLOT FREEDOM PALETTE

I'm going to be completely honest and admit that the exposed magnetic closure of this palette was the first reason that I lusted over creating my very own (sleek + playful + functional?). Following a trip on a plane, running to a bus and navigating an unfamiliar map, my anticipated moment of creating my very own palette was reached. Gravitating towards the collection of eyeshadows, I began to swatch the varying hues and finishes, leading to my second reason (and justification) for wanting to create my own. The shadows felt incredibly smooth and applied with impeccable pigmentation, I was sold. 

Having no prior knowledge or slight thought of the shades, I swatched several that were an instant visual appeal. Feeling slightly more adventurous in the moment, and with none of the typical neutral shades appearing as a standout, I opted to focus my attention upon more colourful, yet still wearable counterparts.

08 is a light golden beige with fine micro-glitter. A perfect inner corner highlight to brighten and add an instant glow.

09 is a soft peachy pink with fine micro-glitter. A simple all over the lid shade that just works, think Nars Orgasm.    

404 is a medium burnt mustard shimmer. A more orange, warm and autumnal alternative to a standard gold. A shade that compliments 08 and 09 to add extra depth. However, I imagine this shade to be worn alone with stronger brows, bold winged liner and dark berry lips (oh how cliché! But for good reason).    

434 is a medium blue-grey shimmer. One of those shades that is difficult to describe, not quite blue nor grey, but somewhere in between? A cooler shade to pair with matte greys and taupes for a grudge inspired smokey look.

423 is a deep mulberry shimmer. My favourite by far due to its complexity, a burgundy with hints of brown that would blend seamlessly with similar dark matte hues. A shade to accompany the colder months, and every other day of the year if wished.         

As a first impression, I'm extremely pleased with the colour selection, pigmentation and overall quality of the eyeshadows, winner. My only issue with the shadows is its lack of names, instead they are numbered, making it slightly more difficult to remember and identify the shades. In terms of the freedom system itself, I adore the clarity of the black case with the translucent acrylic cover, where chosen shades are able to peek through and be located with ease. The palette is thin and compact, where its shape allows it to be stacked and stored efficiently (space savingly to allow room for more products of course) in makeup bags on the go - definitely a product worth checking out!
