I prefer to keep the insert in my MAC palettes because I like to have my shadows spaced out (it's just more aesthetically pleasing to me), even though it's a pain to not be able to see inside the palette. I may have to label them (I think, including palettes for blushers/contours, I have about 7 or 8 total MAC palettes?).<br /><br />I *have* dropped my Z-palette before, when I had shadows in it, and unfortunately there were a few casualties. I've also dropped my MAC palettes, but haven't experienced any damage to my shadows/blushes. I don't know if it's just luck on my part, or people exaggerating on the damage they get because they want to promote a jaded perception of MAC, or something else. Maybe it's a combination of many factors, who knows!<br /><br />But I do like the MAC palettes for uniformity in storage (again, something aesthetic) although I will probably attempt pressing and will just use my Z-palettes to hold onto my pressed shadows -- which I will use square pans. :-)Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15599599254948606099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147863230490359852.post-19744296087965752142012-03-25T23:48:42.373-07:002012-03-25T23:48:42.373-07:00I know :( I'm really hoping that they'll g...I know :( I'm really hoping that they'll get them in sooner than expected!Maihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11671620809035977456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147863230490359852.post-82865125847130249722012-03-25T23:47:43.528-07:002012-03-25T23:47:43.528-07:00I was at the Makeup Show and they had the Z=Palett...I was at the Makeup Show and they had the Z=Palettes on sale but I figured the TKB Freestyle Palettes might be just as good and I'm glad to read that they are!Maihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11671620809035977456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147863230490359852.post-72668470014761560112012-03-25T22:56:31.429-07:002012-03-25T22:56:31.429-07:00I was so sad the large palettes are sold out on TK...I was so sad the large palettes are sold out on TKB, I went back to try and buy a second last night after I filled my first one.Shopping Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256481752440766501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147863230490359852.post-32661291840507062312012-03-25T22:31:55.915-07:002012-03-25T22:31:55.915-07:00Wow, you REALLY went in-depth!

In hind sight, I wish I would have bought them instead of the round pans when I got into powder pressing. And I don't have any MAC palettes for comparison, but based on the Z-Palette vs TKB Freestyle palette, I would completely agree that the TKB one is the way to go!The Peachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109857356364702738noreply@blogger.com
