I have lusted over the Mac Palettes for a long time. I know that they are a favourite amongst beauty bloggers and make up artists and I can see the appeal - I mean you get to build your own palette and include whatever colours you will wear because lets face it - we all have palettes where there is colours that go unloved. I think there are a couple of colours in my beloved Naked palette which have never seen the love of a brush.
Me and my friend had been saving for this weekend away for a while - she has a little boy and is saving for a house and with me working, we dont get to do things like this very often. So we saved and we went and I decided since I had wanted one for SO long that I would treat myself.
Now as I mentioned and you will have seen, I already have a Naked Palette which tends to be my go to eyeshadow for everyday wearing. However I do wear quite a lot of purple for work and fancied finding some easy to wear colours. I spent a lot of time before we went looking at different shades online and swatches that other bloggers had done.
Top Row: Naked Lunch and Trax
Bottom: Satin Taupe and Plum Dressing.
This palette has seriously seen some love since I brought it. I wanted some purply colours but I picked up Satin Taupe because I know it is much loved and when I saw it - I just couldnt leave it in the shop! This is probably the one which I have worn the most since buying this palette. I love to wear this with a bit of Naked Lunch blended in and find the 2 go together really easily to make a simple look. I also find these to be really pigmented too which I love in a shadow!
The Mac Pro Palettes are avaliable from Mac stockists or online - in 2, 4, 6 and 15s which obviously means you can build them up as much as you want. The advantage of the 2 and 4 palette is you just pay for the palette as is which is £6.50 where as with the 6 and 15 you have to buy the palette and then the respective insert which obviously pushes up your price ( The palette is £14 and the insert is £6.50).
For me I found that the 4 was the perfect size as it is a nice size to fit in your make up bag without taking over it. Also it means you can customise it for different colours. I know a lot of bloggers have the 15 palette, one with nudes, one with colours but obviously this is very costly. Each of the shadows for this palette is individually priced at £10 and there are over 100 shades you can choose to customise you palette with.
Do you have a Mac Palette or do you lust over one? What are your favourite Mac shadowss???
