A shallow but important question

[cupcake_goth]

Should I purchase duplicates of the 4 MAC shadows* I use the most and build a palette for traveling? So that I don't need to worry about shuffling it from one makeup bag to the other?

On the one hand, I AM doing a lot of traveling in the near future.

On the other hand, do I NEED duplicates of 4 eye shadows? Even if I wear them almost every day?

Dear LJ Hivemind, please give me advice!




*Mylar, Sketch, Sweet Lust, and Forgery. None of them limited edition colors, thank goodness.

I probably would since it can be a hassle to pop the pans out of the palletes sometimes. If you use these colors all the time, having a second set is probably a Good Thing. The pans wear down and when they do, I find they break (and by break I mean shatter-into-a-million-pieces-and-get-eyeshadow -over-everything-in-the-bag break) much easier in travel. The travel set would have less wear and be less likely to break IMHO. and besides, you'll probably use it all up anyway.

I just dug through the big pile-o-Mac I need to get rid of and I have a BNIB Sweet Lust you can have. I also probably have enough of the depotted empties I promised you for you to get the other three.

I almost forgot! The reason I wandered over here! I saw this, squeed, and thought of you immediately!

Wow, that IS pretty.

If you have a Sweet Lust that needs a good home, I will gleefully accept it!

Let me look at my schedule (and confer with the Stroppy One), but maybe Friday? This is a very tentative and vague maybe, but it might just work.

Friday is very do-able for me! In said conference with the Stroppy One, ask if he likes pickled onions (of all things!) I made too many jars.
