Some Swatches!





For me, the palette spells convenience. I love that the shades are neutral and complement each other so well. Working in a corporate environment, Neutrals are my go to for everyday. I personally love the palette!!

I can't believe I still haven't played with my gravitas palette yet :( I've been in such a rush in the mornings getting ready for work so I've been doing really simple eye makeup, just been using my constructivist paint pot. I need to try it out soon!

I just used mine the other day for the first time.

I haven't used mine either. I haven't been able to wear any makeup. I attempted an at home chemical peel and burned my face pretty badly. Had to work from home for 4 days. Had raw skin and scabs everywhere. It was scary at first but kinda funny now that everything has cleared up. My hubby and daughter said I am always getting into something. I still have a little discoloration but even that is returning to normal pretty quickly. Won't do that again.

I to was hoping I could remove the carbon and a couple of those orange shades and replace them with something else without destroying the palette.

I would love to try one of those at home peels, please tell me which one you used and where I can purchase it.

MUAC radiance peel. It's suppose to be a gentle peel but was quite aggressive on me. There are reviews on YouTube.
 
I just ordered the Gravitas palette today from debenhams ! i'm so excited, after missing it by accidentally sleeping to late on the day of the release on the mac website.

I thought i'd never get it but today for some reason I was just checking debenhams and it was in stock and I ordered it immediately!

Also I don't know if i'm just completely out of the loop but do any of you know if Carbon was once a different formula because I have a single pan carbon probably from 2011 which I never thought was bad but from seeing swatches of carbon from the gravitas palette they look rubbish :/

my single pan carbon is smashed and a complete mess so if that is the same formula as this palette i'm just going to bin it haha.

Mac eyeshadows always seem to break so easily with me!

The palette is stunning I hope you love it! I owned carbon a few years back and it was way better then the ones that have been released recently. Im not sure about them changing the formulation though.

After not getting it when it first came out I tried so hard to convince myself I didn't need it but today when I saw it in stock that all went out the window haha!

Don't bin it! If you want to save it, crush all the bits to powder, pour in some surgical alcohol and mix it until you get a paste. Once it's smoothed out, leave it to dry overnight and voila! - like new! I saved one of my favourite highlighters this way recently. The alcohol will evaporate out and the smell will go as well but the powder itself will bind together again.
