I've never been interested in one of the bigger MAC palettes because I think the price is ridiculous and I'm in love with my Urban Decay palettes. But I do think it's shocking that as a beauty blogger I've never even touched a MAC eyeshadow when they're raved about so much. I'm not really interested in single eyeshadows but I do love palettes. So I took a 'trip' to MAC's website to investigate some more.
These are the shades that I picked. I've loved Cranberry ever since I saw Tanya use it on Fleur in New York. I think it's a great way to experiment with colour without being too 'out there.' I want Omega for my brows once again thanks to Tanya and I'd love to try Satin Taupe because I've heard so much about it. When it came to choosing a highlight colour I had no idea but I liked to sound of Mylar. Obviously if I was going to buy a MAC palette I'd careful swatch pretty much every shade in store and make sure that they were the right ones. But once I'd added four shades and the palette to my basket the total price was a hefty £46.50 which when you compare it to the Urban Decay naked palette is just ridiculous. The eyeshadows retail for £10 each and the palette retails for £6.50 and I really don't think I'd ever be able to justify spending that much on four eyeshadows when 12 for Urban Decay plus a primer potion/lipgloss/brush comes in at under £40.00. Although I really want a MAC palette I think it's something that I'd have to kindly ask for as a Christmas present. I think as a present, it's justified. But as a poor student, no way!
What do you think about MAC palettes?
