Will the price of the eye shadows be cheaper if I buy them in a palette?

yeah the regular price for e/s are $14 but in the pan form it would only cost you $9-$10.

I went to the MAC store in SOHO in NYC today and picked up a few pans and palettes. The 4-palette is $3.50 but the e/s pans are $10.50 now.

What's the diameter of a MAC blush pan? I don't own any, but I'm wondering if I can stick in larger eyeshadows (like the HiP ones) into the MAC blush palette. TIA.

They refer to the same item. It's officially a "pro" pan palette, but since there's only one palette, dropping the "pro" is fine.

That's odd. I just recently bought my pallet for $12.00. Did the LOWER the price???!!

The palettes are really awesome to have and you can also pop out the plastic piece that has the circle slots in it and then fit any shadows you want into the palette.

Out of curiosity, has anyone gone out and bought a x15 palette and picked shadows for it, all at the same time.

I priced it out, if I don't go to MAC for a month or so and then bought a x15 filled palette, it'd probably be the same price is if I went ever couple weeks randomly and spent 50 dollars here and there.

i think its more fun to a get a couple every week. i got a 15 palette two weeks ago and got four shadows in it, then i went back last weekend and got 3 more. $30 a week is certainly doable. plus i think its more exciting when you finally do get it filled!

i definately have a problem though, i'm seriously at my mac store once a week spending at least $40.

do mac's creme blushes fit into the blush palettes?

what other mac products can fit into the blush or eyeshadow palettes?
because there are a few MAC products that i havent seen in person, so i dont have a good idea of how big they are. i've seen them online, and creme blushes look the same size as the powders...
but im not sure.
if there are other mac products that can fit into the palettes other then the normal poweder forms of eyeshadows and blushes, please let me know!

No, palettes are available to everyone as well as pan-form eyeshadows. You have to go to a freestanding store though, not a counter. You can also order them through the phone.

Does anyone know about the availabity of pans in Australia? I looked around the AUS website but no luck. I'm many miles from a counter, let alone a free standing store...

 

[noahlowryfan]

how much does the 4-pan palette and refill eyeshadow pan cost now? is it still the same price. i bought the 15-pan palette last year for $12 and the refill eyeshadow pan for $10.50.

 

[voguette]

Are the prices on the 1st page still correct? I've heard that the prices have increased... I want to know how much are the PRO pan blush refills (both powder and blushcreme) and the blush palettes x 6, as well, please. TIA.
