I was at MAC yesterday and completely forgot to ask about the palettes. I kept having that feeling I was forgetting something too.

I really want to see the double-layered one. I am not going to switch my palettes but I am interested in a double layer one for my neutrals. It would be really nice to have all of them in one place.

I was wondering if this palette magnetic without the inserts then I would buy it. No way I would pay extra for the inserts.

Now that the width of the new palettes are thicker, how are you ladies and gents planning to store them? I am currently storing the older version palettes in a 14-DVD acrylic rack from the container store but I fear that it won't be so accommodating to the newer palettes.

Hey there ^_^ They didnt have the large/duo palette when i went to the store but she told me that it will have two layers so that it can hold twice as much as the large/single. But i dont think the top of these are clear if i remember correctly. And thank you for visiting my blog :)

I had alot of trouble getting the inserts out of the pots both blush and eyeshadow. Originally I used a pointed knife as suggested by someone else, but I slipped a few times and dug a hole in a few pans not to mention my hands.

Well I found this cheap thin metal nail file in a nail kit my BF bought me and it fits down the back of the pan, where the hinge is and depots them easily without all the concentration and fuss.

Also as suggested by one other lady I use a bit of baking paper, put it on my hair straightner and use this to heat the bottom of my pots and to loosen the glue on the labels. The idea of using ovens and hot screwdrivers scare me as I'm clumsy and forgetful.

I always clean up the bottom of the pan with Acetone (I use it as cheap cheap nail poilish remover) it removes the glue quickly and completely. I tried a few things at first but highly reccomend this.

For MUA, it's a matter of space. Tubes take up a lot of space whereas fitting them into a palette is a very economical way to save space. Secondly, as MUA usually use a lip brush, a pressed lippie is much easier to use.

I've been using MAC's previous version of the lip palette for a long time. I love that they were disposable as the wells are usually harder to clean. But I guess at under 10 bucks a piece, I can chuck them in the bin from time to time and get new inserts of the new palettes anyways.
