I finally depot my Urban Decay book of shadow IV. I was
choosing between UNII palette and Z palette and I thought the UNII palette was
more durable. I like the fact that the Z palette has a clear cover, but I’d
prefer a huge mirror.
The colors I have are lavender and crystal.
I have all the neutral shades in the lavender one and the
rest in the other one. I should have placed the neutrals in the crystal to
color match, but I love the lavender color so much that I’d rather use it every
day.
The palette is already magnetized which means metal pans can
stick to it without extra magnet sheet. It is very thoughtful of the company to
include a magnet sheet in case that some pans are made of aluminum.
For size reference, I place it together with the NARS Laguna bronzor
and the naked palette.
A quick tip! I cut the name from the original palette and
tape it to the corresponding eye shadow, so I know exactly what shade I am
using if I want to.
Is the UNII palette worth the money?
In my opinion, it is. I spend quite some money on palettes
and I really wish to get more uses out of them, but bulky packaging stops me
from doing so. Now with the UNII palette I can depot whatever shade I like and use it daily. Besides, I can see myself traveling with the UNII palettes. They
are sturdy with hard plastic. On the top of that, they are cute!
so cute
ReplyDeleteNever heard about the UNII palette.... I don't even own a palette lol. But the colors in there are def great.
ReplyDeleteHow did you like the BOS IV? I was not excited with the colors at all. The packaging was also so gimmicky so I passed on getting it. I did get the 15th Anniversary palette and like it very much. I have the same problem as you in that I want to use them more but having all those bulky palettes is annoying. Was it hard to depot?
ReplyDeleteI like the color combination better than the naked palette. Don't care for the packaging either.
ReplyDeleteIt was actually quite easy to depot. I searched on Youtube and just followed the instructions.
Great idea! I need to invest in a palette bc a lot of my eyeshadows don't get enough love.
ReplyDeleteThat's totally my dilemma. I love buying pretty palettes but most of time they are too bulky to use. So then I need invest more on things like UNII palettes to depot eye shadows.
ReplyDeleteJust curious how you actually deputed these shadows. I am too chicken to try!
ReplyDeleteThis is the video I followed to depot. It's pretty straightforward.

If you find the glue is too strong, drip a few drops of alcohol in between of the pan and the packaging which can help to loose it up.
will the entire too faced eyeshadow palette fit in the unii palette if depotted? (let's say the natural eye) because i love too faced the packaging is just too bulky!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. I just compared my UNII palette and the matte palette by Too Faced and all eye shadows would fit.
