Bunneh's Rating: ♥♥/♥♥♥


Likes:
Lightweight
Useful to keep a good chunk of your make-up in one single palette
Can change the design/interior with the magnetic blocks/lines
Comes with nice labels to keep track of what you're using
Nice design with the clear view of your makeup and what's in it (I personally bought 2 for now, for warm colors and cool colors or whatever I feel like :D)
Great for those organizing freaks like me! ^-^


Dislikes:
Lightweight
The dividers/organizers
Did not like the clasp to open the case
Scared to drop it and have it shattered everywhere...
Not the strongest magnetic palette, just saying

I must say, to confused readers of the 2/3 ♥'s, I'm confused myself on this product.

I'm crying on the inside really.

There is no doubt that it is a great, wonderful idea, to put a magnetic sheet inside an empty case to put in all your make-up, eyeshadows, blush, whatever.

You can just stick whatever you need in it, and have it anywhere.

You can organize it however you feel like, there are dividers which you can use to further help organize your makeup into sections however fit you feel they should be.

Just one thing.

The product did not reach the expectations of the idea.

The two I bought, one is opened, other is not yet (or will be)

I personally bought two of these.

The box was simply marked with Artistry Colour Palette.

Can I say I love simplicity in designs, aka, why I love how Artistry packages everything?

Anyways, when it comes to organizing makeup I'm a mess.

I like to organize my shades, seasons, occasions, sparkle, matte, etc.

So you can tell everything is everywhere.

Aka, why I bought two palettes.

It'd be a great way to put some of my favorite key shadows or blushes together.

The palette has a nice look to it.

It's not a shiny black so it looks classy.

The case is a hard plastic unless I'm told otherwise.

The cover has a rectangle clear plastic to see everything in it with the words Artistry in the corner with gold (as most Artistry products are typically labeled).

For the clasp that opens and closes the case, I'm not exactly loving it.

The clasp used to shut/open the case

I personally would had loved something like my Macbook Pro, heavy yet sturdy, but easy to open without fumbling to open it up.

To open, you press down, and then lift the cover up.

I don't know why, but I just don't like it.

But hey, a girl can't complain, as long as the makeup is secure, it's all good.

Fail tape, eyeshadow surrounded

One thing I absolutely want to rage about are the dividers/organizers.

The double sided tape they used to connect the plastic pieces with the metal sheet is TERRIBLE.

First thing I noticed when I opened up this palette is that the metal backings were separated from the plastic pieces, which made me ask the question, "Is this how it is supposed to be"

Obviously, it wasn't.

I'm going to have to superglue these or something, which makes me angry that I have to even in the first place.

Fail with the divider/organizers Amway, really.

Work on that.

I also am questioning the strength of the magnetic sheet.

I do not trust it at all what so ever if I were to accidentally flip this over.

I would not trust it to hold my makeup if I were to toss it into my bag and have it be on the go.

Unless I put some type of extremely thin foam or whatever on top (thus, ruin the entire point of the clear plastic to show the entire case) when I take it on the go, I don't trust it to be able to go with me anywhere, if, at all.

To test out the strength, I put in an eyeshadow from one of my Estée Lauder duos.

Eyeshadow alone, when I flipped it over and did a few things, it barely had even a chance to stick on.

The nail I used to test the strength with

When I surrounded it with dividers, it finally stayed on.

WIth a nail, I did the exact same test.

The nail stayed on for a much, much longer time and it held onto the magnetic sheet far better than the eyeshadow did for sure.

But it still fell off at random points.

I'm not sure if I should like this product or not.

However, I do have a few tips if you were to buy and use this.

Buy eyeshadows with a more thicker metal so it sticks better onto the magnetic sheet than a flimsy metal.

Get super glue, lots, and lots of it.

Kidding, just enough to glue on the metal sheets back onto the dividers/organizers.

Possibly buy metal sheets to cut up and stick under your eyeshadow/blush/etc 

(=___= Not. Happy. At all.)

Close up of the magnetic sheet, it is an off black color.

To anybody from Amway, great idea with the magnetic sheet.

But in all honesty, fail product for its worth.

Will not be buying again unless I hear of improvements or changes in the strength of the magnetic sheet and that the dividers with the metal sheets are actually put together rather than just taped.

Seriously, I bought this product, I expected it to be nicer than if I were to make this at home.

Anyways, I'm thinking of going ghetto with this palette by buying a stronger magnetic sheet or something, rip out the one that is currently in it (unless it's fused together... then I'm screwed) and install a better sheet in it.

I'm really disappointed by how this palette had all the chances to be the top, but sunk.

Overall, I don't hate it or love it, but I like it.

Would I buy it again?

Heck yes if they changed it/upgraded it and it became better.

Else, I don't recommend buying more than one.

Test out one, see if you like it, if you don't, didn't waste too much, if you like it, good for you!

I recommend this for people with messy organization skills with makeup (like me) or people who would like to organize their makeup in a more simple/professional way.... yeah.

*sigh*

I'm so stuck with the rating for this really.

Sorry to those who are like "WTF girl, just give a straight yes or no on how you love/hate this product"

P.S. Love the stickers though! :D
