Z Palettes!!!

Hey everyone! I hope y'all are having a great night! I just wanted to quickly share with y'all my thoughts on the highly popular Zpalettes! I think these are a great idea for storing, traveling, etc. with any of your makeup products that have bulky packaging. I love how customizable they are, in terms of how big of a size you need    as well as the range and variety of colors to choose from!

And also the prices are not bad for one of these! The smaller size costs $14.00, the large size costs $20.00 and the Pro size costs $25.00. They each come with 10-20 metal stickers (depending on what size you get determines how many metal stickers are included) and you can put them on the back of your products that don't already have a magnetic backing on them once you have "depotted" them from their original packaging.

So y'all can get an idea of just how many products can fit in each size, here are some pictures directly from www.zpalette.com:



 This is the large size and it can hold 28 MAC shadows.



















This is the Dome palette and it can hold 4 MAC mineralized powders and 6 Milani mineralized eyeshadows.




















This is the pro palette and it can hold 6 Cargo shadows/blushes



















This is the small size and it can hold 8 Stila eyeshadows.





Now, depending on the size of the products you put in these palettes will obviously depend on how much space you have left. These are just examples from the website so you can actually see what these can hold. There is one more palette called the 4U palette and here's what it can hold:




















This is the 4U palette and it can hold 15 products.


What is also cool about these is you can mix and match different products to put in these. They don't all have to be just eyeshadows, blushes, face products, etc. You can (depending on how much space you have) put for example in the large palette, maybe 18 shadows and 10 blushes.


I hope this was helpful for those of you that are interested in the Z palettes! I think these are a great investment if you're a frequent traveler or even if you just want to get rid of bulky packaging in your makeup collection, I think these would benefit you also! :) have a great night everyone and I'll be blogging again soon!
