This palette is great for looks all across the board – whether it’s natural, defined, dramatic, or smokey. I suppose I can say that they fall into the ‘honorable mention’ category.

:)Īlso note, I’ve been using MAC “Coquette” for my brows – which isn’t pictured in the palette because I like it in the pot form (so I can take it around).Īlso not pictured are “Charcoal Brown” and “Mulch” – again in pot forms instead of the pan. There are other brands out there that I love equally or more, so this post isn’t promising that these shadows here are the end all be all. I enjoy MAC shadows and have been collecting them and using them for years. Of course, I’ve got enough “favorites” to fill a real palette but, again, for traveling purposes, I’ve intentionally limited myself here.

I figured this would be a good opportunity to take advantage of talking about my must-haves. Housed in this palette are ONLY my favorite MAC shadows. So, in essence, if I had the larger palette, I could have my shadows and blushes in one area. The website refers to the palettes as “the ultimate customizable makeup palette,” which is true since you can pack whatever you want. I assume, however, if I were to drop this or get it wet, it would be a completely tragic event. It comes with a built-in magnet so you can just pop your shadows/blushes in and be on your way. I do like the clear see-through window and the magnetic closure. Although it’s convenient and somewhat sturdy, it’s quite expensive for what it is: cardboard. For me, I don’t see a reason to bring along 15+ eyeshadows. I’m using the Z palette here, only because it’s small and compact. For the purpose of convenience, I’ve brought one palette with me – although, this isn’t going to stop me from purchasing other shadows that catch my eye, hehe. As I’ve previously mentioned in my last post, I’m currently back at home for the holidays and am limited with my makeup supply for the next couple of weeks.
