Inglot Cosmetics Counter - Lipsticks - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - San Jose, California

See all

I've heard about INGLOT through make-up blogs that I follow and usually research swatches of the colors. They are also at IMATS. I didn't even know that they had a make-up counter at Macy's VF until I did my Christmas shopping at the mall. And boy... are we lucky! VF is 1 out of the 3 Macy's in Nor*Cal that carries Inglot so far (the other two is Stoneridge and Union Square). They are located right next to Bobbi Brown, Chanel, and Dior and you really can't miss the INGLOT sign! Inglot is produced and manufactured in Europe. They've been established 25 years ago by a man named Woktek Inglot who was a chemist working in a pharmaceutical company. On their website it says, " His principal objective was to produce high quality products at fair and reasonable prices, using only the best possible ingredients and raw materials from the most reputable suppliers." Which is so true! I felt like all the products I played with were of superb quality. The first time I walked by, I was intriqued with the selection of MATTE eye shadow colors! SO PRETTTTY! It reminded me of a mixture of MAC (because of the freedom customizable eye shadow and blush/bronzer palettes), ILLAMASQUE + MAKE UP FOREVER (because of the bold, beautiful, and bright colors) and URBAN DECAY (for all reasons listed above). There were two girls working the counter and several customers so I did a quick walk by. When I went a few days ago, there were two customers looking at the freedom palettes and eye shadow colors, and a lady that helped them from Clinique (I know this because she wore a white lab coat) but she disappeared by 8:55pm while the mall closes at 9:00pm. I still have no idea where she went but my friend and I were just swatching the gel liner pot and lip paint. Which means... no one was there to help us. I didn't mind until we had to find the items in the drawers ourselves. It didn't help that the black liner I bought was missing the number so it was hard to find until my friend Lonnie re-organized the whole thing for them. At 9:00pm, the Dior girl came over to help us but didn't know where anything was so we practically pulled the items out ourselves. It was a disadvantage not having an Inglot Sales Associate to tell us about all the products but I somewhat loved the independence. The NAIL POLISHES (contains no toulene, formaldehyde, dip, or camphor) are displayed perfectly, the brushes/eye liners/shadow pigments/foundation are in another section together, and the eyeshadow/palettes, bronzers, and blushes are in the freedom section. The lipstick, lipliner, and lip paints are behind the nail polishes. I ended up buying the gel liner because I've heard good reviews about it and I even swatched it myself. I also accidentally spilled their entire make up remover bottle out too... because I am a klutz and there was no makeup remover sheets in sight. :/ But my point is that even if I spilled make up remover over my entire hand, I still wasn't able to wash off the liner completely... so I'm excited for it's staying power and no smudging! :D I also bought the lip paint in #58, it's a perfect plum color for the winter and the only shade that truly represented me! I love it. It's highly pigmented, glossy, but very light-weight, and non-sticky (which I absolutely loved!!!) I only bought my main 2 make-up necessities (liner and lipstick!) but I feel like I'll be coming back to buy powder or blush soon or both! They all felt amazing because it was a SMOOTH, BUTTERY, SOFT-VELVETY TEXTURE when swatched against my hand. Very nice against the skin! I just wish I had help matching the shade to my skin.. but I don't mind because I'll be coming back again! And the best part, INGLOT is cheap! The liner was $12 and the lip paint was also $12! Compared to some other high end makeup brand, you can only get one item for $24 bucks. Overall, I'm highly impressed with the quality of INGLOT! I would say it's the BEST BANG for your buck if you're into bold and beautiful colors and high quality make-up! I'm really excited to try the foundation and blush next time! :) read more

Inglot Cosmetics Counter - Nail polishes, love the display and swatches!! - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - San Jose, California

Inside the Valley Fair Macy's, on the first floor. I was greeted immediately, and the sales associates were friendly. One greeted me, and the other assisted me. The eyeshadows were richly pigmented, and the lipsticks were arranged in groups by color family. They had plenty of kleenex and hand sanitizer available for removing the lipstick swatches from my arm. Of the four lipstick colors I wanted, only one was in stock. When the sales associate opened the drawer containing the boxed lipsticks, I could see that they had many lipsticks in stock - but it was mostly half a dozen or so of the same shades repeating themselves. The sales associate told me they just got a shipment this morning, but only of a few shades. She told me I could buy the remaining colors I wanted online at inglotusa.com. Checkout was fast, and the cashier told me to have a good day. Not as nice as "Thank you for shopping here", but way better than "There you go!", in my opinion What I liked was that neither sales associate pressured me to buy more than I had planned. The only sales pitch I got was "Would you like to open a Macy's card today?", which I know is part of their job. I parked on the Macy's Men's side (a lot of parking available) and walked all the way across the mall to the Macy's Women's side. I would suggest staying on the second floor while walking across the mall if one wants to avoid aggressive kiosk vendors. BTW The lipsticks are $13, paraben free, and made in Poland. read more

This new Inglot counter at Macy's in Valley Fair reminds me a lot of MAC because of the sleek black counters. All of the counter employee are extremely nice and extremely helpful! I've had instances of other Macy's make-up counters that have no idea what they're talking about, but after being helped several times at Inglot all of the employees have helped me immensely. One person in particular, Janice, is the best person to ask for. Janice has a large background in make-up artistry so she can answer almost any questions that you can come up with! She helped me a lot to figure out what the best foundation color matched me and even helped me to determine the best contour bronzer for my skin-type. I've bought so many things from her. If you ever have any questions about make-up in general, stop by the Inglot counter and ask for Janice! You won't regret it and I can guarantee you that you'll leave happy with a little more knowledge about your make-up collection. There's only two locations that I know of for Inglot and that's here in San Jose and in San Francisco. With such little counters out there it's worth it to give this little counter a visit. read more

I am so amazed by inglots professionalism, exceptional customer service and the amazing products! After I made my first purchase from inglot which was the AMC concealer and a pressed powder I am addicted! The thing thy makes this place 5 stars is not only the super affordable prices for cosmetics but the fact that the woman who rang me up called in a week later to check up on me and how I'm enjoying my purchases. I truly appreciated that. Inglot will be my go-to place from now on. read more

So I was looking for lashes at another make-up counter but they didn't have what I was looking for and suggested that I check out Inglot. Inglot? what the hek is ingot? is it new? lol i probably passed by this counter a few times but lo and behold they had an eyelash showcase which had a great variety. i took a chance and asked a lady if she would be able to put the lashes on me because i struggle putting them on, but she said that she was leaving for lunch and mentioned that her co-worker should be able to do them when she returns from her lunch. so i waited and looked at the products, they carry eyeshadows, eyeliners, lipsticks, lip liners and other face stuff i had no clue about. so Claudia shows up and ends up doing my make up. she did such an amazing job, i seriously gasped when i looked at the mirror LOL-- i don't know if this review would do any justice but what i liked about her is that she educated me about the products that she used on my face and took her time with my last minute make up appointment. i would say that it took at least 45 minutes to complete the look, and i loved it! i think it helped that i brought the dress i was going to wear to a friend's wedding because it helped her decide which colors to use. overall, i had an excellent experience at the Inglot cosmetics counter. Their staff is great and Claudia is an amazing make-up artist! FYI, if you want to get your make up done, they require at $50 minimum purchase of their products--well worth it! read more

The Inglot counter located inside of Valleyfair's Macy's has recently opened. It was exciting to find out about this because before their opening in Santa Clara & Pleasanton (they opened on the same day & are both located inside Macy's), the only Inglot in the Bay Area was in downtown San Francisco, or the other option would have been to purchase online. I prefer going to Inglot counters because you can actually see the product and swatch the colors because the colors that they show online has no description to them, so it makes having counters very convenient. I went the first weekend it opened and the girls who worked at the counter was super sweet. They did not make me feel obligated to buy something I did not want and they did not bother me after I said I knew what I wanted already. After having an arm full of eyeshadow swatches, they offered me a makeup remover towelette so I can clean my arms (which many counters do not do unless you ask). They are close to Bobbi Brown Cosmetics. When you walk into Macy's from the mall, you will find it after walking straight pass Benefit Cosmetics. I love their freedom system because you can customize the palette with colors that you want and they have a wide variety of MATTE eyeshadows! The palette I have is the 10-pan, which is $16. Each individual eyeshadow of a single color is $6 and the eyeshadows with three colors in a pan is $8. I have not filled my palette yet, but I will definitely go back to check out the blushes next time! read more

I arrived at the inglot counter very excited to buy a bunch of makeup but no one was working that day and although very kind ladies from other counters came to offer help they didn't know the prices of anything ( understandably because it's not their counter). The prices are not listed anywhere so even if someone was working that day it would be annoying to have to ask how much each item costs. That being said, if I were to comment on inglot as a brand, their makeup is great and it's cruelty free ! read more

This make up is amazing! It stays put, it's easy on the skin, and most of all it's beautiful! You can get matte colors, shimmer colors and metallic colors. They have all the colors of the rainbow and then some. I love the selection of all the make up products they carry. The girls are very good at what they do. They also are very very helpful. I never felt ignored. They also keep track of what you bought so you don't re buy. You make your own pallet. You pick squares and put them into a magnet pallet that you can remove them from and re use. No more ugly pallets with crap colors for one good color. It's a dream come true! They also will be getting new products soon. read more

Inglot Cosmetics Counter - First pallet. I picked every color. Working on a second fun color pallet! - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - San Jose, California

Inglot definitely deserves to be more popular! So glad I tried it here. One of their employees helped match me and try their primer. She was really friendly and had long red-orange hair, and was sure to help me with whatever I needed. Their products are paraban free and all made under one place, and have SUCH GOOD PRICING. Totally worth it. I got an under eye concealer, foundation, and their foundation primer. I'm happy with everything and can't wait to try more of their products. Saved so much money too!! read more

I had an appointment with Claudia (I really hope I remembered your name correctly). I told her I was really bored with my look and wanted her to go crazy make me pretty and be dramatic for a night time look. She made me look smokin!! Thanks for taking your time to hear my questions and being super helpful! I love the makeover experience here and I'll definitely be back. PS I'm not a fan of their gel liner for the eyes bc it smudges on me but their lipsticks are #1 for super pigmented looks and their bronzer is fabulous!! read more

Their eyeshadows are so pigmented that I don't need to use an eyeshadow primer! I also love their face powder, but it tends to run out very quickly. Four stars just because this location doesn't have a big variety. TIP: Always check to make sure your purchase is correct when you're here. I have gone home several times, realizing that they have given me wrong colors and palette sizes. read more

I've purchased Inglot products in the past from makeup shows and from their location in Las Vegas so I was thrilled to find out a couple locations were opening in the Bay Area. My initial thoughts of this counter changed as employees got more training and knowledge about the products. I didn't get her name, probably will ask her next time I plan to shop there, but she was incredibly sweet and helpful. She explained to me a little bit about the freedom system and the different palettes they offered. She gave me a little magnetic tray that I could stick the eyeshadow pans I favored onto, which is actually very helpful when planning out what colors I would ideally put together in a look. The eyeshadows were extremely pigmented, and applies on like a dream. For $6 per pan of the single colored eyeshadows and $8 for the three color pan, that is an amazing price point, especially for those in the makeup industry. I've tried a few other products and have been impressed with the quality and price. The sales associates I've talked to seem pretty educated in the product lines so don't hesitate to ask them for any advice. I will be coming back, good customer service and amazing products definitely bring this counter a large crowd so if they are busy, don't worry, they will get to you and I'm sure you'll be a happy camper once you leave with a bag full of new makeup! read more

I was so excited to see that an Inglot had opened locally. I missed the SA's name but she was super sweet and helpful. Will definitely be going up again to stock my kit. Bye-bye, MAC. read more

Marry is the best makeup artist ever!!! Go see her now!!!! She knows how to work with all skin types and ethnicities ;-)

I was asked by cousin fromCanada to buy their eyeliner and I bought a bunch of other products here for myself. The make up is very reasonable, and so far I like it. read more

Terrible service, I was at inglot and I wasn't sure of the numbers of the products that I was going to buy so I decided to look them up, while I was looking up The Numbers one of them asked me if I needed help and since I did not want to waste her time I I told her I'm still not ready when I finally asked her for help she rolled her eyes. Another employee saw me standing there and asked me what do you want how do you want me to help you. From now on I would much rather order online to avoid the rude employees. read more

So I came into Macy's wanting to see the INGLOT section and I love their freedom system and how their palettes are all customizable. I was really impressed by how pigmented their eyeshadows were and they only for $7 a pop! Such an awesome deal!! All their other products are reasonably priced and affordable as well! I was approached by a friendly worker named Diana,also referred to as D and she helped me pick out some really pretty eyeshadows and helped me test out a bronzer! She gave me many useful tips about makeup and made the experience super fun and exciting! I will definitely be coming back again soon for the amazing products and service! :) read more

I had an appointment with Claudia and she was absolutely amazing!!! I gave her artistic freedom to do what she thought would look best to my face for an evening look, and she went above and beyond! She picked a smokey purple look which complemented my green eyes so perfectly, she was incredibly friendly the entire time and I had an overall great experience, All of there product was amazing and lasted through the night, I especially loved their lipstick it was incredibly moisturizing and lovely colors!!!!!!!!i would definitely recommend you set up an appointment with Claudia if you ever want to get your makeup done! read more
