Z palette Craze!

Hello my lovelies, hope you are all well. I know it's been two whole weeks since I last blogged, forgive me but it's been busy at work. Being a full time Infant School Teacher doesn't always give me too much spare time to spend on my other love: Makeup! Make sure to follow me on Instagram if you don't already, as you're more likely to find me there: @misshijabiviolet 

So today I'm just going to tell you about my new latest obsession...  z palettes! To be more precise the extra large z palette.

This magnetic palette allows you to place any size eyeshadow/blusher/highter pan into it and can be used for a huge matter or reasons:

1. For Makeup Artists for ease with travelling with products to clients.

2. To save storage space. 

3. To store a range of products, perfect for travelling.  

4. To organise your eyeshadows by colour. 

5. To store a range of brands (regardless of the size of pan).

I wanted a solution to save space and to ensure I was getting the most out of my eyeshadows. I knew my eyeshadow palette collection was getting slightly out of control and wanted a way to feel less guilty of owning soo much!! Having them all in the same place, organised by colour would ensure I used a larger range of the products I already own (and perhaps prevent me from buying more!!) 

Extra large z palette:

This palette holds 35 standard 26mm pans (Mac standard size). The palettes do come with 20 metallic stickers which can be applied to pans which are not made from the correct metal. They come in two size: large circular and small rectangular. The smaller ones are perfect for Sleek/ Makeup Revolution and MUA Cosmetic eyeshadows.

Ebay: 

I first purchased two black extra large palettes from Ebay (I won't say the seller but there aren't many that sell this) for the price of £24.99 each. Unfortunately one of the pallettes arrived with enormous crack through the plastic front. This was entirely down to the poor packaging. I did get my money back and have still put this palette to use. 

Mobile.love-makeup.co.uk:

I was relectuant to order from the ebay seller again and went online to see if there was an alternative place I could purchase my z palettes from at an affordable price. I came across this website where the exact palettes were selling at £21.50 with free postage on orders over £50. I ordered three, which all came wrapped in lots of bubble wrap and all in one piece! I have since ordered a fourth palette from this website for my purple shades. 

Rectangular metalic stickers:

As the majority of my eyeshadows were from makeup Revolution and MUA cosmetic, they required the smaller stickers. I have ordered 2 x 30 rectangular sticker for £7.70 each from Ebay (a different seller). 

I love my new eyeshadow storage and will hopefully be using up some very neglected shades! (Sorry!) I'm pretty sure I'll think twice about buying eyeshadow palettes (especially from cheaper brands) as it really was an enormous game of jenga to fit these all in and I don't currently want to be adding to it! 

Please note I didn't depot all my eyeshadow palettes including my Naked Collection,  Electric Palette and Toofaced Chocolate Bar Palette as this would be a crime! And also my Flawless palette by Makeup Revolution as this is perfect for travelling. I think my z palettes are better off in my makeup collection at home.

Before:

After:

Although these palettes are pricey, I definitely recommend these for MUA'S or those fellow Makeup Lovers who spend too much on eyeshadows!! 

Bye lovelies, until next time. Stay happy, healthy and appreciative of life. Xx
