MAC palette review!

Hi everyone! A little while ago I showed you how to depot a MAC palette. The palette that I showed you in that post hasn't been reviewed yet so I'm doing it today.
The reason that I haven't got around to reviewing it is because I forgot one of the names of the eyeshadows in it, so in order to review it I had to depot it first, which is why the depot post was published first.

So I got a palette that can hold four colours but I only filled half of it. I didn't want to overreact since I had already bought two mono eyeshadow colours and I didn't want to spend all my money at once.


I got two colours that I tought looked really good together and that I could wear on a daily basis.


"Honey lust", my lid colour.


"Bronze", my crease colour.

I didn't get any highlight colours because I have a bunch of those at home.


Swatches! Both of the colours are very pigmented and easy to apply. I think it looks fabulous and I also love the two colours together. I think this will make a very nice everyday palette!

I would for sure love to add some colours to my palette, but it's not for now. Anyways, I think I'd get Allthatglitters and Espresso. Probably. Maybe. Because I think they would look great together. But yeah, we'll see! 

As always, thanks a lot for reading, I love you and have a good day!

HOW TO: depot your MAC palette

Hi everyone! A few weeks ago I bought my very first palette at MAC. I got two colours, just to try, but when I came home and I wanted to review them, I realised I only remembered one of the names.
What now?! I've been trying to open the palette but it wouldn't work. Today, I finally found the trick - and I know what the name of my second eyeshadow is now!

So, this is what we start with. Two colours in a palette.


Notice the edge between the pan and the palette. It's a teeny tiny space but you can get in between it if you want to. Now I'm not going to be using alcohol or heat to get it out safely. The only thing you need is something thin and sharp, like a nail file or a safety pin, tweezers, just anything you can get your hands on.


I used my tweezers for this. Both ends of my tweezers are very small.


So I used the "head" of my tweezers and pushed lightly on the edge of the pan. Very carefully so that you don't damage your eyeshadow colour. You'll see that once you pushed a little bit, the pan will come out a little bit and you'll be able to grab it.


I put my tweezers under it to prevent it from falling back into the palette.


And now you have depotted your eyeshadows! 
That's how easy it is! I now know that the colour I forgot the name of is called "Honey Lust".


And the other colour is called "Bronze".


Little tip: if you want to be able to take out your eyeshadows easily without having to use your tweezers all the time, you can put some yarn in the spaces before you put the eyeshadows back in. Next time, you can pull both ends of your yarn and the eyeshadow will be out in no time!


I hope this post was useful! Reviews of the eyeshadows will be up soon! Thanks for reading!
