I have two pallettes that I have made up myself - a 15 pan and a quad. Tonight when I was cleaning the palette up I decided to reorganise it and remove the 4 shadows I like the least and put them in the quad instead. Hence I came up with "My Quad of Shame" And here it is ladies and gentlemen...

I think I've made a huge ebay stuff up. I was in a hurry the other day and just browsing Ebay Australia for Mac when I saw an auction for a bronze eyeshadow. I carelessly went ahead and bid $13AUD (Eyeshadows retail for about $30 here). I didn't read the description carefully since Bronze isn't...
