Mac Pro Palettes discussion

See I went with the 12 well because the 24 looked too shallow. Wasn't expecting the 12 to be so deep and angled though. I might have to order the 24 well (or road trip to Atl) instead. Just looked like the 24 wasn't deep enough lol. And I agree...although it's great that the prices were dropped dramatically it's insane that all palettes are the same price (even the quads). I wonder if this is a massive sell-off to make room for improved palettes in the future.
Yeah the 24s will take almost the entire visible part of a new mac lipstick! They look pretty shallow but they hold a lot! That's what CS told MACGIRL13, that they're DCing these and making new ones. First off, we all know how much CS's word is worth, but DCing these already!? WTF MAC!? I ain't about to have a bajillion different palettes! My OCD will be kicking my ass!

I get the impression that these newer palettes weren't a big hit....and at their original prices a lot of people were opting for things like the Z-palette. If they are really DCing them already I would imagine that would be the reason. I wish a pro store was here in my city...I really wanted to go on a depotting spree tonight lol.

My MAC girl said that the price point they were before that it stopped being economical to use palettes and no one was buying them so marketing lowered the price. It makes more sense to me that they are being discontinued after this massive clearance. Needless to say I ordered three singles today and will be B2Mig a lot next weekend :)

I'm not a fan of the duos in general either, but i already have them, so i gotta use em. I don't get why the price is the same tho. They should be more expensive than the singles. That's just dumb on mac's part on a business standpoint.
Oh bummer, I was planning to use my duo palette for l/s. I'm glad I saw this, thanks!

My source was told that the cost of the ingredients to make the palettes dropped in price. I don't buy that tho. Prices don't drop that significantly that fast. Something is up.

If you don't fill them completely full and are careful when scooping them out, you should be ok. It was just frustrating for me cuz it would always get stuck and i would have to pry that damn divider off and lipstick would be smeared all over it. It wasn't pretty. :sick:

I posted the price decrease on my ig and one of my followers works for mac and said they saw the decrease coming. She said mac is trying to compete with other brands and this decrease is perm. It's does make sense though bc inglot recently had a sale on their freedom system... It could also explain why mac has had free shipping lately!

MAC US has had free shipping for awhile (unless you mean the free overnight or 2 day codes). They have had codes for a long time....so it's not a recent thing if I remember correctly

Now if only OCC would increase there's so I won't have to pay Nigel's high shipping lol
No shit! Inglot is also working on allowing online ordering for pros. I'd much prefer that. I'm planning on ordering well over 100 shadows and would rather do that online than thru an email and over the phone.

I'm glad it's a perm decrease, but I still wish it was a decrease to get rid of the current stock and bring out more palettes to improve the magnets.

I am loving the new palettes after all! I'm almost finished filliing up my 11th palette and will move on to the 12th palette. I am thinking about ordering another single palette and the blush insert but waiting to see if the blush insert will be back in stock.

You can still order the inserts now. They'll be back in stock, and will ship and charge your card when so.

I'm still a bit confused on how to remove the eyeshadow pans from the wells. Could anyone explain it to me further or recommend a video/blog that explains it? I can't seem to find any info online

Hold the palette in both hands. Twist both hands in opposite directions, like you're twisting an ice cube tray. The insert will pop out, allowing you to remove the pans. It's pretty easy.

I've been away from this board for a few days and was happy to comeback to hear about these new prices! I just placed my order and although it said out of stock for the inserts, I ordered and hopefully locked in the price. This is perfect timing because I needed really needed inserts.

Looks like the new prices have not reached UK yet

I have a question about palettes - not MAC related (yet?) - could anyone suggest a good palette for those 36mm eyeshadows? (not interested in the upcoming Mac one if they house only 8/palette).
