Purchase of the week

Hello possums :)

Recently I was debating ordering a MAC Pro Palette so I could start ordering things in pan form and hopefully save space. 

However, Lily of Beauty's Bad Habit mentioned that there was a seller on Etsy who was selling custom made palettes. 10 minutes later, and I had ordered one! I went for a purple toned palette as my room has a purple theme to it :)

Behold this beauty






I bought this from Another Soul and you can find the listing here, however they have so many designs for sale! Well worth checking out if you're in the market for a palette.

Now, you may be wondering is it worth ordering? Well my friends, I say yes. The Etsy palette is incredibly well made and absolutely beautiful. But not only that, I have some interesting facts and figures for you!

A MAC Pro Palette holds 15 MAC shadow pans. They retail for £11.50 + £2.99 from the MAC website making that a total of £14.49 (if you order it online of course).

The customised Etsy palette holds 20 MAC shadow pans. They retail for £8.18 at time of writing + £5.04 shipping to the UK (mine arrived 7 days after it was shipped) making that a total of £13.22. 

There's a full breakdown of the types and sizes of pans that will fit, including brands mentioned on the Etsy listings.

So not only do you get a bigger, prettier, palette, you save a bit of cash too. Win!

What do you think? Are you a fan of palettes? What's the best thing you've ever bought on Etsy?
