Mac Pro Palettes discussion - Page 18

ooo I like the idea of putting a brush (or 3 like she did in the video) in the bottom row!

Would it be a good idea to depot my new OCC lip tars into the PRO inserts with wells, or would the lip tars dry out in the palette?

i dont think you are able to put the occ lip tars directly into the well because each well has a hole in the bottom of it. if you dont mind the mess after removing the inserts then i guess its fine. as for it drying out i have no idea but wouldnt they spill around depending on how you position it??

I think the PRO inserts with wells don't have holes, but I'm not sure if the lip tars will spill around or not. I'm still new to lip tars and don't know if the consistency would be too liquidy for the wells or creamy enough to behave.

 

they do have holes in each well unless your speaking of different inserts and im just a confused soul? lol

 I have an old mac thingy where the insert is white and the wells have no holes and thats where i put my depoted lipsticks similar to this... 

 

^ this one is a japonesque lip palette and they have different ones

Yes, the PRO inserts I'm talking about look like the 2nd photo. That's basically what I'm picturing for the lip tars, but I don't know if it will actually work.

 

I'm looking for old palettes! I'll pm you both.

Have we heard anything more about the double layer palettes? Any photos?

somehow i dont feel a lot of people will want them 

I'm not to sure I'm going to make the switch unless I have to I'm OCD i am used to and like the old style palettes will have to get more from someone switching over to the new or buy them at MAC before they are gone. glad the video wasn't a repeat for you guys I saw it and had to share it

 I do not want the new at all. I like the old ones. I got to play with a new one and it was not for me.

I don't like how thick the new ones are; I like my two basic black covered old ones. :)

 

Hope everyone can find the new/old palettes you're looking for!

That's the same way I aligned my shadows without the Insert. The look l
Nice and uniform.

You can't fit new domed products in the new single layer palette, at least the MSFN and MB that I tried. The lid will not close. Used MB fit in fine but that's because the dome has been worn down.

You are correct. The PRO wells inserts do not have holes. However I think that the lip tar consistency is to liquid to keep in the palette. Cream products work best. Enkore has a video in how to make lip tars into a lipstick/cream if you still wanted to depot.

 

Oooooo putting the brushes in the pan

 

duh moment

im being swayed

thats a great lil way to store all your eye brushes period

are the old palettes still available in the stores?  online they are 'sold out'...so i suspect i can't get them anymore.  i kinda wanted to get three more blush old style blush palettes. i have 15 blushes to depot, so i'll have three extra spots i can fill throughout the next few months....

 

for the eyeshadows i still have in their pots, i'll probably get one double sided new palette.

 

i like the cream product inserts, but i was wondering - do you think one well fits an entire lipstick, or only part?  does having it in a palette make it more susceptible to expire?

 

for labelling i've been using white china pencil...hopefully i can use the same method or maybe a red/black one.....

 

Thanks for confirming. Yes, I saw Enkore's video posted in the OCC thread. I'm completely amazed by it.

 

my mac store had a draw filled with the old palettes

im sure you can still find them there

I still see the old style palettes online and they are available for purchase.

Yup, I ordered a blush palette last friday and it arrived today. My Burnt Pepper is happy in it's new home. Now to get it some roomates lol. I figured that it would cost me less to get the older style and they are pretty nice. 

I'm contemplating buying some of the blush palettes. I'm not particular on whether there is a clear lid on those or not. Not sure though. I like the look of the new palettes but $18 + the price of an insert is a debatable price. But $16 or a blush palette is purty tempting. 

The price is why I got the old style. The new style looks really pretty but for one it's hard to find and two it's costly so I just got an old style one. Now I can't wait to fill it with Pro blushes lol.

i's love to switch lol but i dont wanna spend the cash till next year

yeah, it's enough just finding the spending money for makeup...now we gotta buy new storage too!! 

 

actually i don't think i'm going to switch over entirely for that reason....i'll try to stick to old palettes, and when those are impossible to find i'll start getting the new kind....i don't mind having different types of palettes -- although the clear cover is definitely a plus!

 

They are sold out in Australia online.... but the new ones arent in store yet! So our waiting game begins

 

When are they supposed to come out down under?

I am not sure yet, im waiting to hear from Mac Pro in Melbourne

For anyone who is interested in purchasing old style palettes from the US MAC site, DRAW is an overnight shipping code. I believe it expires Monday night. 

I'm dying to know more about the alleged double layer one, I don't want to invest in a new one if a more awesome one is on the way...
