    has anyone ever bought an eyeshadow palette from mac? I have to be honest, im getting so sick of buying individuals, losing them and replacing them!!

    Are the palettes worth it?

    I love my palette! Picked up a 15 eyeshadow one and a 6 blush one in the states last year for next to nothing. Tip though if you want to get a 15 palette one pick up an empty four palette one to shove your everyday/night-time shades in for when yoour going out to avoid having to lug the big 15 palette one around with you!

    the reason i ask is cause I'm going over to the states shopping next month!! So you think the palette is the way to go?! Great! and each shade is replaceable then?

    Yep, they attach with magnets. They are slightly cheaper than normal eyeshadows but you can't B2M (back to Mac) them. You can also 'depot' normal eyeshadows to fit them into palettes. Search youtube for videos but the general idea is heat the plastic case gently to melt the glue and then pull out the eyeshadow pan which contains the shadow.

    The 4 palettes are good for travelling in your make up bag but 15 is better for at home.

    Hi Yddil,
    I am just back from the states and I bought loads of mac stuff over there! I would defo agree with save our socks post and say yeah get a palett. I bought one for four shadows and the palett itself is $3.50 and each of the shadows for the pallet are $11. If you but the shadows in individual pots they cost $15 so it is worth your while to get a palett. Also you can mix around the shadows in the palett and bring different looks at different times. If you decide to get your make up done I would recommend having a 'look' in mind. A picture from a magazine is your best bet because otherwise they tend to lash on heavy eyes.
    Also, there is a girl on youtube called makeupgeek and she does a variety of looks using mac products so it might be a good idea to watch some of her videos and see what types of make up appeal to you. Heres a link to one of her vids; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZiJAwjV5dQ

    Hope that helps.x
