The Z-Palette! Condensing & Organizing Makeup!

I haven't bought eyeshadow palettes ever. All of my eye shadows are drugstore brands such as Cover Girl or Maybelline, with an exception of about 4 MAC eyeshadow pans. I was always highly annoyed with carrying around the separate eyeshadows in their little, typically oddly-shaped containers. When I discovered the Z-Palette on YouTube, I knew it was just what I needed to be organized and condense those eyeshadows and other pan products!

This is the Z-Palette that I have. They come in a smaller size as well and other colors! (See below)

This one is $20 from www.zpalette.com. (I used a coupon code ZPAL10, and it saved me about $2) For a little more expensive palette, check out UNII Palette http://uniicosmetics.com/ :] I don't know much about those, but they seem to be made with plastic, where as the Z-Palette is made of cardboard.

If you haven't heard of the Z-Palette, it is a case that has a magnetic backing that allows the eyeshadows to stay in place, in any order that you prefer. (If the eyeshadows aren't magnetic, you can buy sticky magnet pieces to attach to the back) I have also noticed that some people leave the bottom right or left of the palette blank for a "thumb space" to be able to hold the palette when applying eyeshadow.

De-potting your eyeshadows is probably the most hassle that you will endure when switching them into the palette. My favorite de-potting video is from beeisforbeeauty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L1ymnF0ah4 I will warn that this was a VERY messy process for me. :]

I love the fact that all my eyeshadows are now in one place, and I recommend this to anyone who dislikes carrying around several containers and wants to organize once and for all!
