Make-up lovers island-wide had the opportunity to celebrate the opening of the island's newest make-up store INGLOT this past Saturday! The store had giveaways, makeovers, music and much more for visitors all day. Of course, Health & Beauty was on hand to see what all the fuss was about.

Founded over 30 years ago, INGLOT Cosmetics is now one of the world's leading manufacturers in colour cosmetics. INGLOT can be found at over 500 boutique stores, stands and retail locations internationally in some of the most prestigious places, such as Times Square and Chelsea Market in NYC, The Dubai Mall, Westfield London, Plaza Carso in Mexico City and in Dundas Square in Toronto.

A large reason for INGLOT's popularity and quick rise to fame is that INGLOT succeeded in combining the latest scientific technology with intense and vibrant colours; every product consists of high-quality ingredients and is being sold at fair prices. All INGLOT cosmetics are produced within the European union and 95% is manufactured in INGLOT's own state of the art facilities.

But what's most important for us is that INGLOT is now here on St. Maarten and you can benefit from all that the store has to offer. With all the colours, the possibilities are endless. One of our favourite parts of the store is the unique freedom system bar, which allows you to mix and match products and colours to make your own custom design palette of almost any size. It's really cool that the freedom system palettes are eco-friendly and reusable!

Just walking into the store and seeing everything in bright, vibrant colours, from the breathable and super nail-friendly O2M Breathable Nail Enamel which allows for oxygen and water to pass freely through to the nail; thanks to its special ingredient – a highly advanced polymer. The product helps keep the nails in the best condition while wearing nail enamel.

My favourite product of the moment is the gel eyeliner. AMC pure pigment eyeliner gel is smear- and water-proof; I got #77 black and am loving it!

I can't wait to make another trip to the store to pick out some eye shadow; I want them all! I also thought it was really cool that you can add any of the five solid scents to your custom design palette of the freedom system.

And for somebody like me who has never before purchased her own make-up brush (the few I have were gifts), I felt the freedom and possibility of spending on the brushes as INGLOT's prices are very reasonable. Thank goodness for a high quality brand with lots of choices and fair prices! Health & Beauty welcomes INGLOT and wishes the new store lots of success!
