This 120 color palette ...
Is now being sold as M.A.C. cosmetics. Correct me if I am wrong but I do not believe that M.A.C makes a 120 color palette of any kind. My girl friend just called me to ask me if this was a good deal some guy was selling it outside Century 21. I told her that it was a co that sells and then people put their own name on it, coastal scents, Bh cosmetics. But now they are throwing M.A.C on it trying to move this thing for $50-$80 to people. LOL its all over the net, I bet they sell even more of these now. http://stockton-california.olx.com/mac- … d-81671296 Dec 22 11 03:26 pm Link there's a 144 pallet I bought for my MUA for x-mas way brighter than anything I have seen Don't know the name but it was hypoalergenic. and black friday special fir $25 It was a name brand.

Yeah, I hope you told your friend not to bother with it, haha. Sorry, but I started out with those two pallettes as an mua two years ago. They really, really do suck. About the only color with any real good payout in there is the pink-- see my avatar, although that one is actually a layering of ALL of the pinks and a little bit of a light purple. their metallic colors- the silver, gold, bronze? Are a joke. you're lucky if any stays on the lid when you apply it- mine sat there right up until the model blinked, and then it was a case of powder everywhere BUT where we wanted it. Dec 22 11 04:24 pm Link Yea all of those palettes are from Hong Kong and sold on eBay Dec 22 11 04:25 pm Link I am aware of this but other people are not. This was the point of my post lol.

Dec 22 11 05:17 pm Link If M.A.C. ever made a huge palette like that, it would definitely not cost $80, that's for sure! On a side note, i wonder whether real palettes that brands come out with are actually comparable to the quality of their single eyeshadows. I don't know why, but i'm not sure a single Stila eyeshadow is the same quality as the eyehadows in their palettes (urban decay seems the same though) Dec 22 11 07:46 pm Link Tara Pagliara wrote: Oh no! No, it didn't come off that way at all! Don't worry Tara. Dec 22 11 08:53 pm Link Sungoddess Studios wrote: E.l.f. Put out a 144 palette at target for about 25 bucks. Big 9x11 case. Sound familiar?

I bet they cost less then $4.00 each to make. http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/44914 … color.html Dec 26 11 08:28 pm Link Great write up KJ, I know I would never purchase those and have had a few people ask me about them. I can only imagine that they fall off the skin and crumble up. Dec 27 11 04:22 pm Link Tara Pagliara wrote: Yes for pros they're terrible and shouldn't be in anyone's kit. I do admit I do have one, but I use it for myself. I don't wear tons of makeup on the day to day basis so this "will do" for when I do apply it. Most of the time it's when I'm going out for a ladies night and I'm gonna sweat and dance it off anyway. At 3am no one really cares what my eye makeup looks like lol. Dec 28 11 08:52 am Link Beauty4U wrote: I would! lol Use good eye makeup on yourself too! If anything moves on your face your eyes should stay in place. I used to be big into the club scene and I can tell you the only thing that ever really looked like it did when I left the house was my eyes. My hair was usually pulled back, bronzer GONE, blush GONE lol. Oh sometimes I miss it. Dec 29 11 05:25 am Link Tara Pagliara wrote: Yeah...ladies night is like once a year lol. I'm old and all my friends have kids so trust me "it'll do" LOL. But on special occasions like dinner with the husband, holidays, anniversaries etc., I pull out my REAL stuff.

I just figured I'd explain why I said what I did in reply to what you posted is all. I didnt see a bit of snark in there.
