How do I not have more of these colors?!? I only have Divine Decadence and Saddle.

My MAC eyeshadow collection is woefully deficient.

Do you happen to know if the pans are glued on to the palette ( i.e. Reel Sexy and Styleseeker duos) or are they magnetic like ordinary customizable palettes? Thanks. I am really interested in this. The new colors and repromotes are gorgeous and the perms are either in my to-get list (saddle, amber lights, honeylust) or a timely replacement to my empty one (brule).
I'm pretty sure they're glued in, otherwise everyone and their momma would be complaining wanting to swap them out for different colours, and wouldn't understand why they can't if they pop right out.

I hope one day either UD or MAC release a bomb-azz smokey palette with all dark shades... I would be all over that!!!

I think I want the warm palette. I have only Brule(s)! Waiting for swatches.

The Cool palette ! I have 0 eyeshadow from it, so I think it is not crazy to get it (except the price, as you mention it, Dilligaf).

OT, I am very interested in these palettes because I am intrigued by the return of some shades I have not seen in a long time, and I think there is not a lot of overlap between my current stash and these new palettes.
I actually really like Showstopper but I could do without all the Carbon copies, it isn't THAT great. I just don't use black all that often.

The Smokey Palette from UD is really pretty. Especially the bottom row! I've made my own MAC smokey palette but I'm sure they could come up with something much better than I could.

I just used Honeylust, Gingersnap, and Dark Brew and they made an amazing sunset eye look. I'm usually against palettes because sometimes the quality isn't there, but these shadows are super pretty and pigmented. I'm glad I picked this one up.

I doubt they could come up with something better than the one you customize yourself.

On a related note, I have UD Naked 1 and 2 so the part of my brain that wants to save money (I know, its tiny, but its there) is saying, "How different can N3 be?" I skipped UD Smokey because I have Vice, but once I find it on sale (I will probably score it on ACW eventually) I will probably cave and get it too.
Funny, that part of my brain that wants to skip the redundant UD palettes doesn't seem to speak up on MAC palettes redundancy though. I will probably cave and get both of these MAC palettes, because I can never chose between warm or cool neutrals, I love both equally. This is in spite of by getting both I will have multiple e/s copies of the e/s I already have that are in these palettes. But, of course they go and put some unique ones in there, so we have to get the whole palette to get them--UD does the same ploy! The UD palettes are a better deal than these MAC ones, but being a MAC hoor, I probably won't skip either of these.

I'd love to see some EOtD with these Naked palettes though!

I tried to take one of the eye look I had yesterday, but the lighting was very bad in my office. The Naked UD palettes are great (I gave 1 and 2) but I feel like all the colors are so similar and so shimmery. I get more mileage out of UD basics. I just prefer mattes. MAC's shimmery shadows (at least in these palettes, to me) aren't as crazy shimmery. You can still see color instead of just shine. Does that make sense? So these are a bette choice for me. I tried my Naked palettes last night and I was just unhappy with my results. But I am a total MAC fan girl. ;)

^ I feel the same. I have only Naked 1, and I have never been crazy about it (it's also my only UD palette). Naked 3 looks too pink for me, and I'm not interested in the glittery-ness either. The warm 15 looks much more promising.

I'm much happier with the MAC palette. I keep thinking about naked 3, but I know I won't really use it because of the copious shimmer. EDIT: how did I accidentally post a middle finger??? SMH

I have a few UD palettes I got as gifts, and I know many people say they like it better, but I cannot stand the fallout.
My heart really belongs to MAC no matter how crappy they treat their loyal customers sometimes.
No other brands really interest me.

Wow! These are out already? I thought they weren't coming out until next month. Oh I want them now. But I may have to wait a bit as I've just bought a few things. I probably would have waited if I'd known. But I think I do want both of them now. I see there perm. I'll try to resist the urge to run out today to get them. I really like the colors.
