Whilst in World Duty Free at the end of July, I was frantically trying to decided what I should buy before boarding my plane (haul coming soon!). I’d had my eye on the MAC Warm Neutral Palette, £65 for a while however it’s pretty expensive and I probably definitely don’t need another palette but in the airport I simply could resist and ended up getting it. (It’s about £10 cheaper in Duty Free)
It’s silly because it makes me so happy even though I know I really don’t need it and will probably not use it very much but I’ve always always wanted a full completed MAC palette. Colour wise it’s very pretty, I love the coppers and the shimmery browns but I do think it has a few too may light colours which on the eye all look fairly similar and it’s missing a nice matte transition or crease colour and could do with some darker shades.
My favourite shades would probably be Gingersnap and Amber Lights which are both beautiful lid colours. I think these palettes are very much aimed at makeup artists, I think the colours are almost too similar, it isn’t a travel friendly palette but it is far more cost effective than building your own MAC palette which would cost around £170. Whilst on holiday I had both this palette and the Urban Decay Original Naked Palette and ended up using that much more but I’ll let you know how I get on.
If it ends up getting little use, at least looking at it makes me very happy. (I realise that’s a little ridiculous!)
I agree with you about lacking transition shades, i don't find myself reaching for this a lot either. looking forward to your haul hunni xo
I have this palette but I love it!! I use it every week!! I get where youre coming from as some of the shades are not the sort that you would go for all of the time.

I was super excited when I got this palette. I mainly use it for freelance work though as there is a shade in there for everyone really. Its so pretty to look at and knowing you have a full completed mac palette is a little satisfying especially for the price! xx
This palette looks gorgeous! x

Most of my palette purchases are unnecessary tbh but they're just so pretty! This does look like a lovely palette, even if it's missing some shades x

This is such a beautiful palette! Although unnecessary perhaps, I think you got amazing value for money in terms of MAC. x

It looks so pretty 🙂 I think I also definitely would have wanted it!
Your bangle also looks great, would you maybe share where it's from?

There are some lovely shades in there but I agree they should have some more mid-brown matte crease or deeper colours. I'm currently building my own pro palette which isn't the most economic thing in the world, I agree! xx

This pallet is up my ally, but in Canada MAC is crazy pricy. Specially for eye shadow I rather get my points at Sephora if I'm paying that price. But some of these shades are so pretty thought, there are so many looks you can creat. Also it would be a good starter kit platform for someone just starting,
