I just wanted to share with you guys a little gift I got myself for my birthday last week.
Remember how I was
raving about the Unii palette? I know I got some of you interested, but apparently, the online shop I got it from has closed temporarily. Plus, it
is quite expensive.
If you're still looking for a customizable makeup palette, here's a really, really good alternative which is readily available locally:
This is the
Wild Peach Cosmetics Palette.
Yes, I got another customizable palette. Heh.
Well, my makeup storage has gotten a bit too cramped and I could save space by depotting pans and disposing of their individual packaging. And I needed a place to store my depotted makeup, in case I wanted to switch around the contents of my Unii.
Justifications, I know.:p
Honestly, I initially just wanted to buy Wild Peach's magnetic (magnetizable?) sticker sheets to use with my Unii palette. But their palettes were such a steal, I couldn't resist. And how pretty is that turquoise damask design?!
It's the same concept as the Unii and the Z-palette -- a case with a magnetic bottom for you to stick depotted makeup pans in.
I got my Wild Peach palette for only
Php 280.00. This one is the
personal palette. They also have a larger version which sells for Php 550.00.
The Wild Peach palettes are made of stiff cardboard with a magnetic closure, much like the
Z-palettes (but this is still cheaper than the Z-palettes). I know "cardboard" makes it sound flimsy. But when I finally got a hold of it, I was pleasantly surprised that it felt pretty solid. It may not be as hardy in comparison to the plastic of the Unii palette but this is pretty darned good. You might have to be careful when using it for travel, though, since this doesn't have a latch to secure the cover in place, just the magnet.
Wild Peach personal palettes have a mirror attached to the inside of the cover, which is nice if you plan to bring this around (the larger ones have a clear panel on the cover). It comes with a sheet of the special sticker (roughly the same size as the palette) and a little leaflet with instructions on how to depot your makeup, as well.
The size is almost exactly the same as the Unii palette. According to their product description, the dimensions are as follows:
Inner: 5.4" x 2.8" x .3"
Outer: 6.03" x 3.43" x 0.54"
It's a comfortable size for a travel palette, IMO.
The personal palette is available in several designs while the large palette is only available in black.

Aside from the palette, I also purchased three sheets of the special Wild Peach sticker. Each 8.5"x5.5" sheet costs Php18.00. These stickers are for those pans that aren't made of ferromagnetic material.
I think it's so awesome that they're selling these, too. I was getting worried about what I would do when I use up the sticker sheet that came with the Unii palette. To my knowledge, these are not magnet sheets (since magnets may cause problems with matching polarities, thus repelling instead of sticking to each other). They're... erm... magnetizable? Ah basta, they stick to magnets. I can't tell what they're made of. Haha.
Anway, if you want to get a Wild Peach palette, you can email your order to wildpeachcosmetics@gmail.com. You can also visit the Wild Peach Cosmetics Facebook page for more details.
