The Z Palette!

The Z Palette is something I have wanted for a while given my obsession with organisation. To make my collection "smaller" is what I am always trying to do. I am forever trying to squeeze as many eye shadows as I can into a palette and beautify my makeup storage.

The Z palette is available in 2 sizes, large and small.

Here's the large Z palette, I have my Urban Decay book of shadows on the left, with some Illamasqua, Mac and random other brands of eye shadows mixed together.


When closed it's a tiny bit larger than a standard Mac 15 eyeshadow palette.


However, when open the inner perimeters are roughly the same size as a Mac eyeshadow palette with the insert removed.

I can fit 26 Mac eyeshadows into a Mac palette (no insert) and 27 into a large Z palette. I have kept my Mac eye shadows in my Mac palette as the 1 extra isn't worth the move!


The smaller Z palette fits 9 Mac eyeshadows...


Points to consider:

The Good:

• The lid of the z palettes have a see through plastic lid which enables you to see what's inside.
• By depotting your make up you get to save plenty of space!
• You can fit 27 Mac eyeshadows into the large z palette, which is 1 more than you would fit into a Mac palette.
• The small z palette holds 9 Mac eyeshadows and great for travelling.
• As the z palettes don't have inserts you can fit any depotted size of products mixing and matching brands.
• The Z palettes are quite sturdy, with a magnetic closure.
• Available in 4 different colourways, zebra print, leopard print, pink and black.
  

The Bad:

• They are made out of cardboard and can get scruffy looking after general wear and tear.
• The large palette is extremely heavy even when empty, making it a 'no no' in my books for travelling. I understand that the magnet was made stronger which is why it's heavier as they had a problem with the previous style, but regardless I don't like how heavy it is.
• The inner perimeters of the large palette could have been a bit larger so that a few more Mac eyeshadows fit.
• I thought that I would have been able to fit my depotted book of shadows into the small z palette but it was too tight by about 1mm, which was a shame.
  

My final thoughts: I would recommend the small z palette as it's great for travelling, a decent weight and can fit 9 Mac eyeshadows and isn't that much larger than a Mac quad. My favourite colourway is the zebra print.
I would only recommend the large z palette for a way of organising your makeup at home and not for travelling due to how heavy it is.
