The Perfect Palette Tag

Hi everyone,

I saw this tag going around YouTube a little while ago, and thought I would do it here. Just to forewarn you, the majority of my palettes are from MUA; I just really like their eyeshadows.

1. Best Packaging
My Sleek Storm Palette wins this one hands down. First of all, it comes in this lovely protective box, so it doesn't get really beat up if you carry it around in your makeup bag (you'll see what's happened to some of my other palettes later).

Secondly, the actual palette is just so pretty and well...sleek (except for that one fingerprint...)

And thirdly, the inside a handy little mirror. It's probably only a matter of time before I accidentally drop this palette or do something to damage it (I'm just very clumsy) but till then, let's just enjoy how nice it looks :)

2. Best colour payoff?
All the MUA palettes generally have really good colour payoff, but for this one I decided to go for the Undress Me Too palette.

3. Most versatile?
For this I have chosen the MUA Immaculate palette, because it has 32 colours and I don't think you can get much more versatile than that. It has brights, metallic more neutral shades, and dark colours if you want to do a smokey eye.

The bad news is, this palette is not available anymore.
So, I'm also going to give an honourable mention to the Wet 'n' Wild Comfort Zone palette. This is a versatile palette if you're like me, and tend to lean towards more neutral eyeshadows. It still has a good selection of colours, and you could do daytime and nighttime looks with it.

4,  Best for travel?
I'm assuming this  is if you want to travel light, in which case I'd recommend these MUA trios.

Actually, do these technically count as palettes? Oh well.

'Theatrics'

'Chocolate Box'

5. Biggest Regret?
I suppose the best answer I have to this question is this Electric Beauty palette that I got in Mallorca, just because the eyeshadows aren't the best, they're kinda powdery, and because it has a lot of bright colours that I don't really wear very often. That said, it only set me back by about 2.95, and it's not awful, so I don't really regret it that much.

6. Best colour names?
For this I picked the MUA Undress Me Too Palette again, just because it's the only palette I own that has names for the eyeshadows. The names are fine; Shy, Fiery, Wink and Corrupt are some of them, but I actually really like the really bad puns for colour names.

7. Least Used?
I'm ashamed to admit that I have never actually used these two  MUA palettes, Glam Days and Glam Nights. I went through a bit of a phase where every time I went to a Superdrug I would buy a new MUA palette, and I also have this mad idea that I should finish one thing before I start another. It's a bad idea, I know, and I should really just get down to using them.

8. Most used, desert island palette?

Most definitely the MUA Undressed palette. You can see from the pictures how well loved this is. (remember what I was saying earlier about my palettes getting destroyed? Yeah.) I've completely finished off two of the eyeshadows, and hit pan on three more. This palette lives in my makeup bag.

Essiebutton added an extra question to the tag, which is what is on your palette wishlist?

I have my eye on the Naked 3 palette, but I have so many eyeshadow palettes that I think I should hold off for a little while until I use some of them up. Also, now that we have Wet 'n' Wild in Ireland, I wouldn't mind picking up a few more of their palettes, but for the moment, I'm good with what I have. And by moment, I mean like, this week :)
