Z palettes...

I own a few of these and I encourage anyone who buys single eyeshadows to check them out. I have a large one and a couple of the 9 pan.

There was a controversy with them on social media a few months ago, and people starting promoting the MUFE tin magnetic palette but I like that I can see what each palette holds as the Z palette top is clear and see through.

@wvumountiefan This was just in a makeup segment on my local news. They sound fun! What was the controversy about?

What do your palettes look like? How much were they? Where do you get them?

@Stargazer77 I ordered my large one and 2 small ones from Sephora. I like them because they are easy to travel with.

Apparently someone from their social media responded to a couple people who were on their Instagram complaining about something. I bet if you google it, there is an article out there somewhere. I was late to the word of it and of course the responses were removed by Z Palette .

The large one I think was $20 and the smaller one which holds 9 regular size eyeshadows was $12 or $14. I have a hot pink small one which I received in my Boxycharm box a few months back. The other ones I have are just black. It's a great concept. HTH

I think the concept is interesting. The BeautyIQ channel did a lengthy presentation on the Z palette and depotting using their heating gizmo tool late last night.

I have seen a small Z palette at Sephora but it did not come with anything to de-pot a makeup item.

I personally do not buy big or holiday makeup palettes because I won't use most of the colors.

I can't support a company that treats customers the way they did. Fortunately for me a lot of companies sell their own versions of the empty palettes.

@wvumountiefan I also have Z palettes.I have bought many singles over the yrs & transpotted them. Great for travel too! Like the fact than I can see the shades & put them in order that suits me.. I have also taken favorite shadows from some of my eyeshadow palettes & transpotted them into Z paletts. They have videos on transpotting on youtube for those interested.

@Kabella I did notice that the ones here at Q have some of the little pans. This is good for lipsticks which I would like to do with a couple of them for travel. Have you done any lip products?

@wvumountiefan No, I haven't....I didn't even know the Q carried Z Palettes. A few yrs. back, I did order a Dome Z pallette for LG Baked Blushes & Milani.

They just showed up on the new items page the other day. I saw the machine that can be used to depot, but I honestly use a candle warmer. It works though. The new Sephora single eyeshadows just pop right out of their little magnetic holder. So no heat needed.

The whole concept looks expensive and rather time consuming and silly to me

Re: Z palettes...

@wvumountiefan Actually all makeup artists prefer z paletts but not the Z's that you can see the product. they find that the window is not sturdy enough for stacking several pallette & some have cracked. For people that are not makeup artists, they hold up quite well imo. If I am traveling, I will take a large Z Pallette as they are slim with a mixture of mattes, satin & shimmers that are my favorite singles.

@I am still oxox I am guessing that if one is a makeup artist then transferring the tube lipstick into a pan would be better for travel? I don't know. You're right it would be a lot of work. The reason I like my Z palette is because I buy a lot of single eyeshadows from Makeup Geek, Colourpop and other places. I do have a few full palettes that I've bought and there are colors that won't get used.

Seems similar to the Trish McEvoy planners w/ magnetic pages. All her products come ready to put on the magnetic page & then go into a planner (like a 3 ring binder) which holds brushes, pencils, mascara, etc.

Re: Z palettes.....how would you travel w/ those w/o them cracking or breaking? Still need another makeup bag to hold liners, brushes, mascara, foundation, etc.

Check out Trish. HSN June 8...TS.

I must be really old or lazy. When I first saw this on Beauty IQ, I thought who in the world would go through all that? I guess it's popular. You learn something new every day. Mind of why I like Beauty IQ.

The Z palettes are sturdy enough for me. I usually take a bag when we travel by motorcycle for my cleanser, moisturizer, etc and my foundation will go into this. I usually put these liquids in a ziplock bag. I then use my large Z palette and I put about 6 shadows, a blush, setting powder and a bronzing powder all together. I then can fit my tools into a pencil type makeup bags which I put a mascara and an eyeliner into also. I've learned to pack lightly while traveling on the motorcycle. Now, as far as being a makeup artist and stacking them into a "kit", I am not sure how well they would hold up. I like mine. They work well for me. My 9 pans I have them colored coordinated. One has warm tones, one cool tones and another one is purple tones which I love for my brown/hazel eyes.

I am not really old nor lazy lol but even I wouldn't bother doing that. I don't know why anyone would? I do have a z palette but it is an empty and I use them for the individual eye and cheep products you can buy at makeupgeek's website to create your own palette. I certainly would not go throuogh the trouble of depotting them from elsewhere to put in the empty palette. I don't get that really.

@HappyDaze I love your Snoopy picture. I ordered a couple of the Sephora brand single shadows a while back, and was glad to see that they were magnetic and popped right out of their little single holder. 90% of mine are also Makeup Geek.

I want (and will probably order) the depotting stove/burner/whatever it is. I depot now and many items I've broken (so I had to reset them) due to the glue. Melting the lipsticks is handy as well. I transfer it all to my TM planner pages.

@SahmIam I'm wondering if a candle warmer plate type gadget would work the same?

@Kabella @wvumountiefan You can use the metal pans that come with the de-potting kit for not only melting lipsticks but any cream concealer or foundation. It is super easy and they melt within a minutes time.
