inglot is cheaper mac is awesome BUT both can be hit and miss. they each have some great products in there lines and some not so good ones. so just check around for some hauls on the products and see some swatches as well
just based on eyeshadow I have to go with inglot (: MAC is an amazing brand but so "known" many of their products seem overrated in my opinion but still gotta love them (:

Agreed... Inglots Pigments are much stronger these days.. AS were MACs in the beginning but not soo much lately
For eyeshadows and dare I even say eyeliner.. Inglot. You have to think about quality vs price. At inglot you pay less for something of better quality (even if it's only better by a small bit). I honestly think Inglot is highly underrated. Their gel eyeliner is to DIE for, but with all of the ovation MAC's Blacktrack gets, I think Inglot often times gets lost in the mix. I own A LOT of MAC, and to be honest I don;t think they are expensive considering what brands like YSL and Chanel charge. BUT I do think Inglot trumps MAC at least in the eyeshadow dept. I also bought an Inglot Creme Lipstick and I am IN LOVE with it, it's glossy without being a lip gloss, stays on for a good amount of time and it's soft on the lips. so yeah. Love em Both but right now Inglot's a bit ahead

I couldn't have said it any better Raisa... and u have inspired me to purchase a few gel eyeliners from inglot:)
Definitely INGLOT. The quality of Inglot's eyeshadows are highly pigmented and for the price, it's amazing. I used to be the one that has to have everything from MAC, but ever since Estee Lauder bought MAC, the quality of the eyeshadows are just crap now. The pigmentation and the texture is SO different from how it used to be. I tried a MAC Carbon eyeshadow from many years ago from a makeup artist that I work for, and comparing her's to mine, it was completely different. Hers was definitely more velvet-y than the one that I have now. I have to go back couple times to get the pigmentation that I wanna get rather than her's which I just have to dab the brush and the color shows right away.
Basically, Inglot eyeshadows are how MAC eyeshadows used to be like 10 years ago. Great, AWEsome quality.

Exactly.... Dolls.. Inglots pigments are what MACs used to be
I have yet to play with INGLOT because the line is no where close to me and I don't like buying something sight unseen via the net. Lately I've been feeling a little bummed out with MAC since a pretty green that I need replacing is no longer available except for online (Humid). And the recent eye color collections have been a fail for me.
inglot is fabulous. i recently got a lipstick and gloss and it by FAR became my favorite lip products that i have ever used. so creamy and rich in color, and the gloss has a coconut/vanilla taste!!

Shelley You would soo love Inglot..... i'm telling you... Pigment wise They are Winning!
Steph Agreed.. inglots fabulous
Inglot wins on eyeshadows since there are highly pigmented and easily blendable. MAC has lost their pigmentation and the quality went down significantly since 2008. Inglot I hope won't end up like that since of their hype now.

My favorite thing about Inglot is the Freedom system... I love that i get to mix and match my own pigments.. because in most of my other Palettes there simply are some pigments that go to waste
They only test in China and China it's the law even some cruelty free companies have to like Tarte, smashbox, and sadly MAC but they are still cruelty free in the US and Europe
Whether they test in my country or not I won't support a company that tests. Especially when there are equally good or even better company's out there. It's personal opinion though just a decision I made for myself.
If MAC tests at all, period, no matter what country or planet, they aren't cruelty free. There are no loop holes.
Anyway, Inglot all the way. I'm pretty sure you get more in an eyeshadow than you do in a MAC eyeshadow for less. Even if I'm wrong, they're better quality anyway. MAC used to be good quality, but now they've just produced more crap just to pump out the collections that they don't need to be pumping out.
They're totally different I wouldn't be able to chose one. Inglot has FAR superior eyeshadows and nail polishes. Their lipliners are also much softer than MAC's. I prefer MAC lipsticks and their textures and I find fluidlines don't lose their textures as quickly as Inglot gel liners.
I've never tried Inglot foundations though but I do not like MAC face products (except for their F&B foundation)
INGLOT trumps MAC shadows on their worst day! i LOVE Inglot. the amount of shadow plus pigmentation plus price flat out beats MAC. Inglots has a neutral color for every skin tone! Which is great for makeup artist!
Does anyone know of any websites etc that ship inglot to nz?

TAMARA, EMMA, RIKKI, I didn't realize that Mac begun testing on animals.. wow that changes how i look at them completely.... Once your testing on animals u cant still call urself cruelty free #JUSTMYTHOUGHTS Thats like being a vegetarian but saying i only eat cheese steaks in Philadelphia because they are good.... it just doesn't work like that (odd example but u get my point dolls..lol)

Pigmentation and cost aside. Mac now test on animals and Inglot don't. Another reason we should change to Inglot

Yeah the Inglot gel liner dries up too quickly. I do like MAC lipstick and glosses more since a more selection and better textures
