So NYX has fully jumped onto the MAC Pro bandwagon and released their versions of magnetic refillable eyeshadow and blush palettes, as well as refill pans!
This is fantastic news to me, as I hate having to depot eyeshadows, and love to have them all in reorganizable palettes. I also love that the new NYX palettes have a little notch by each pan (like the old school MAC palettes had) so you can easily remove pans. You know, instead of having to warp your poor palette every time you want to pop out a pan—thanks, MAC.
I definitely have my eye on the 9-pan eyeshadow palette, which retails for US$15. Not as cheap as I’d have liked from NYX, but if the quality is up to snuff, I won’t have any complaints. Now I rue all the time I spent depotting NYX eyeshadows with an Xacto and a flame, and sticking them into MAC palettes / cheapo palettes from eBay.


Currently, the palettes are only available on the US site. When are these coming to Canada, NYX?! (And please, don’t let them be CA$25, because the MAC 15-Pan Pro Palettes at $10+$3 insert will be a lot more economical…)

The Face Palettes are even nicer. Aren’t these just PERFECT?! They’re also $15. I love the clear lid, the pan notches, and the overall sleek look. They need to come out with an eyeshadow palette like this, maybe a 10- or 12-pan.

Oooh, I think I might have to get one if they aren’t too expensive!

It is actually remarkably hard to beat the MAC prices! Sigh. But I am really keen on seeing these in person 🙂

If the quality if good, these will be such a steal! I wish I hadn’t bought so many of their Hot Singles shadows, now, too.

I love the concept of refillable pans and it also reminds me of the mix and match Mac eyeshadow palettes.

Oooh I’m ALL about the custom palettes so YES! I’m eyeing the Nars ones too…

I know! I think the NARS mostly looks great just because of the big-ass NARS on the lid. 😀 Sigh.

Do you know if you can put the contour refills in the eyeshadow palette?

I don’t think so – they have an 8-pan Highlight & Contour Palette that is specifically for those product pans. The other palette is called a 9-Pan Eye Palette. HTH!
