I love the idea of Zpalettes. They allow you to make your own custom palettes, which I think is really fun. If you aren’t a fan of single shadows, you can depot single shadows that do strike your fancy and place them in your handy Zpalette.

ZPalettes obviously vary by size and price. Anywhere from $5 for palettes that hold 3 shades, to around $30 (maybe more) for double sided palettes. Now, other brands do make their own magnetic palettes, and there are ways to make your own. I just happen to only own Zpalettes, because they are easily accessible. I live in St.Louis, so there are a lot of Sephora and Ulta’s around me. Thank God!

Let’s jump into my Zpalettes!

Palette one

This is a large Zpalette, and it retails for $20. I got an orange one because I never see orange ones on others social media platforms, so it intrigued me. Sorry for the mess, I dip into these shadows a ton!

Row one:

• ColourPop Locked and Loaded
• ColourPop Bel Air
• ColourPop Come and Get it
• ColourPop Take it Slow
• ColourPop Note to Self
• ColourPop Cloud Nine
• ColourPop Take the lead

I love the ColourPop singles, and I do plan to purchase more and their palettes. I would say they are one of my favorite shadow formulas.

Row Two:

• ColourPop Criss Cross
• ColourPop Paper Tiger
• ColourPop Popular Demand
• ColourPop Stay Golden
• ColourPop Get Out
• ColourPop Top Notch
• Make Up Geek Anarchy

The ColourPop mattes are amazing, so creamy and pigmented! I am going to be honest, I only have two Makeup Geek shadows, and they aren’t as good as the ColourPop. 🤷‍♀️

Row Three:

• Makeup Geek Mirage
• Ofra Millennium Gold
• Ofra Bohemian
• Ofra Buttercup
• Ofra Smoke
• Ofra Iron
• Merle Norman Poolside

The Ofra shadows are alright, I probably wouldn’t purchase anymore. The Merle Norman Shade was a gift and was actually supposed to be a bronzer sample. I just use it as a shadow, it isn’t the best, isn’t the worse. I like using it as a transition.

Row Four:

• Merle Norman Mist
• Merle Norman Bare
• Urban Decay Black Out
• MAC…I am not sure of the shade name, I’m a savage and didn’t put it on the back of the pan.
• MAC Cork
• Ofra Truffle

Black Out is my all time favorite black shadow! I set liner with it a lot and use it in Smokey eyes. The Mac shades are nice, I have heard MAC is going back to fully CF, not testing where required by law. I pray this is true!

Palette Two

This is a baby Zpalette sold at Sephora. It retails for $10. It is perfect for travel. I am still in the process of really organizing my Zpalettes.

• Jane Iredale, again I am a savage and didn’t write the shade down.
• Anastasia 10k
• Anastasia Topaz
• UD Fireball
• Pink Pewter Kua Bay
• Han Romance
• Han Sunset
• DLS Tease
• Younique Trusting
• Nomad Cosmetics, shade name unknown. This one is listed in my single shadow collection before I depotted it, if you really want to know!

I love the Anastasia shadows. There are a ton at TJMaxx, so keep that in mind!

Palette Three:

This Palette was a collab with BoxyCharm. I believe the retail price was $10. I intended to use this one for shadows, but this highlighter would not stay in the pan.🙄

• Ofra Rodeo Drive
• UD Sin

I really love both of these highlighters and reach for them often.

Bonus Look:

• I set my eye Primer with MUG Mirage. I also used this shadow to blend out any harsh lines.
• For my transition shade I used ColourPop Belair. It isn’t too warm or cool, it is a great basic transition shade.
• For my lid I used CP Come and get it. I wet the shadow with Fix Plus, just to give it extra shine, you don’t have to do that though, it’s great dry as well.
• For my outer corner I used MUG Anarchy. I really concentrate it on the outer corner.
• To deepen up my crease I used the CP shade Cloud nine. I concentred this towards the outside of my eye as well.

• For my inner corner I used the CP shade Take it Slow.
• On my lower lash line I used CP Get Out.

That’s the eye look I tend to do when I don’t want to think about it. The shadows I use do change up depending on the day. I really enjoy how it makes my green eyes pop!

Thank you so much for reading.💜💜😍
