UNII palette

The UNII palette is a very cool find. This large palette is empty until you fill it with your own products.  In other words, you can have a truly custom palette because it's packed  with shadows, blushes or lipsticks that you already own.
I had hoped to have mine full before posting, but depotting without breaking the eyeshadows is eluding me. You can see some marks  in the Bobbi Brown one in there. Now Bobbi makes refillab;e eyeshadows but this one wasn't one of them.  Besides  I want to use what I have not buy more.

I plan to give the depotting further tries at some point and if you have any tips please share.I have great hopes of having a good many of my MAC shadows in here with a few others as well.  The UNII comes  with helpful hints  but so far not so great.  I have not yet tried the tips in the videos on the UNII page .

The UNII also comes with handy magnets to place on the back of products. The bottom of the palette is magnetic.  It measures 6 x 3  1/2 inches and has a strong seal and clasp . That  piece you see  in the pic is a moveable thumb grip.

It's a genuis idea I think, in   The "Why didn't I think of that " way. Many companies  make shadow refills and more if you want to go that route. Me , I'll be here with a tiny screwdriver and hope.


The UNII is  $ 29.00  and comes in 5 shades.
