The most powerful thing Inglot have going on is the colour of their cosmetics. It's brilliant, vibrant and intense: walking into one of their stores is literally an assault on the girl part of your brain that goes "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! I must have some."
And the fact that it's all pick 'n' mix makes it even better. Using the Freedom System means that you can customise your own palette to suit yerself - and not have one or two crap colours hanging around that you will never use.
The pigments and range of shades are great and although cheaper than their rivals, Inglot do jack up their prices for the Irish market.
Time and again our Polish readers tell us how cheap this range is at home and how they will never buy it here for that reason. But then of course, most companies jack up their prices in Ireland so I've just given up at this stage.
But there are some great new lines out for this season - lipsticks, contour shades, eyeliner and mascara.

Plus some lovely sparkly nail colours and the intriguing Freedom System Fragrance that I can't wait to have a goo at.
The Eye Lux Felt Tip Liner (€18) and Secret Volume Mascara (€12) are packaged in fat shiny cases and while I love their chunky monkey ways I wonder how long they'll last? The mascara is good, not hugely volumetastic, in the manner of some of the huge fibre filled mascaras, but I prefer this one. It adds very nice definition, jet blackness and has no fall out.
The eyeliner is fab. A felt tip nib allows you to draw a line as fat or thin as your heart desires and taper it off easily. The wear is great - it lasted for twelve hours under conditions of extreme heat, humidity and even dips in the pool.
Though when I say "dips in the pool" I really mean me doggy paddling around screaming "don't get water on my hair" as Himself repeatedly attempted to plunge me under water.
What part of "no chlorine must ever touch the hair" don't men understand?

Like the look of any of this gear? Have you tried any bits and pieces out yourself?
