I have used the eyeshadow palette almost everyday and I love it!! I've received more compliments on my eyes than ever before. The colors are so perfect to create so many different looks. So happy I got this!!
 
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.
Thanks for the tip! I'm going try this !

I ordered Gravitas and the Lorac Mega Pro. I don't think I need both so I'm going to cut one of them soon.

Aww, I got both, too, but I don't think I could part with either of them!
You know how it is. I feel like I have so many unused shadows as it is. I really didn't want either one, but I was afraid I'd miss out so I figured I'd at least get them home while I think about it. I've also run out of storage space so...

I need help for real. I should be on a buy freeze but I just checked and saw that I still had the gravitis palette in my shopping bag at Nordstrom. I thought I was seeing things. But I decided to go ahead and place the order thinking that it will say, out of stock once I pressed send. But lo and behold... It went through. ... I don't own any of the shadows. I only have all the shadows from Alluring Aquatics and 3 shadows from Magnetic Nudes. I wonder if I should of done this... uugghhhh!!!

Its a gorgeous palette. I think you will really enjoy it, epically if you're just starting out with mac eyeshadows. I hope you love it!

I guess it depends on how much eyeshadow you have from other brands. My favourite shadows are MAC, UD and Inglot. I have more MAC than anything else because I really like their shadows (although not MES or EDES, just the regular ones). I personally love this palette; it's neutral but has enough office friendly colour for me to put together lots of different looks. I've bought several palettes this year and this has been my favourite.

You two are making me feel excited about this now. :) I am hoping to get great use of it. I do not want to spend money on something and just have it collect dust. When it comes, I'll get what I need done early with the kids so I can spend time playing with my new makeup!

Well this sucks BIG TIME! Nordstrom just sent me an email that they can't send my the pallete because its sold out. UGH. Just when I started to get excited about it. Well I will be on the look out for it.

OH no!! :( Try chatting with Nordstrom or Macys. They will help you track it to any of their stores across the country. If it is still available, the store will be able to ship it out to you directly without any additional shipping cost! hth!!

I was really good about it as well until my coworker showed me her Gravitas palette on Friday afternoon (The collection only launched here on Friday *smh* - We're always late!). It was soo nice in person and the shades are what I always wear when I can't be bothered to play. We called the store 2 minutes from our work place and there was one only left! Needless to say, my inner impulse buyer ran over and got it. Lol... Jesus take the wheel!
