Since Pat McGrath launched her makeup line on Sephora, have you tried any of her makeup yet?  For example I couldn’t wait to try “Mother’s” eyeshadow palettes?  And, her Mothership Palettes are magnificent.  First of all, the packaging is pure luxe!  In fact, it is almost too precious to take with you on your vacation.  The reason is, I’m always afraid that the case fell on the floor, the gorgeous beveled mirror would break.  Also, I worried that the eyeshadows would crack and fall apart.  Hey, for $125 a Mothership Palette, someone might see it, and take it.  One more thing is, Pat’s makeup is very expensive.  For this reason alone, many people can’t afford to spend a small fortune to bu eyeshadows.  Although, these eyeshadows are the cream de la cream.  Therefore, Pat McGrath Eye Ecstasy Mini Palette in Sublime and Subversive has arrived at Sephora.

To begin with, each palette comes packaged in a bag.   Furthermore, the bag has gold foil on the back and is see-thru on the front.  In this way, you can see through to the palette.  But, that’s not all you’ll see.  PM is famous for putting sequins in the bag.  Lots and lots of sequins!  Moreover, this is how Pat McGrath Products come packaged!  So, you are living half the experience, for a lot less than half the money!

Although, the luxury packaging ends there. The Eye Ecstasy Minis come in is a sturdy, frosted, lightweight, plastic case.  Besides the gorgeous eyeshadow pans that adorn the inside of each palette, Pat did put her special  gold “hieroglyphics” on the front of the palette.  However, this is where Pat was able to save money so that everyone could try her eyeshadows!  More, the eyeshadow formulas are the same.  And, isn’t that the reason you’d buy the palette?  To try Pat McGrath’s brand?  So, the palette’s case is without the expensive bells and whistles.  But, think of the price.  You get 5 shadows that are the same size as Pat’s Eyedols individual shades that cost $25 for one.  You are getting 5 Eyedols for three dollars more than the cost of One!!!

Moreover, the palettes were super easy to travel with.  Also, if you are looking for a great stocking stuffer, anything from Pat McGrath would be a big hit!  These palettes are a great way to introduce yourself or someone else, to Pat McGrath.  So, try her formula and some of her shadow shades without the big investment!  You can get five shades for $28!  And, you get to open the packaging bag, with all those sequins.  Thus, the sequins will fall all over the place!  And, you’ll be mad that you have to clean them up!  And, a few days later, you will see more sequins, that you hadn’t cleaned up the first time.  O.k?
