MAC Eyeshadow Palettes: My Reds & Pinks -- Limited Edition (2010)
MAC Eyeshadow Palettes: My Reds & Pinks — Limited Edition
Can you guess which shade is which? It’s not easy! You’ll find the answers behind the cut, under the second photo of the palette! 🙂 I took close-ups, but I wasn’t satisfied with the majority of them, so I’ll have to do those at another time. Consider it on the to-do list but a not-so-urgent item… We’ll do oranges and golds next!
Some clues…
- All shades are limited edition (I have all permanent shades in separate palettes)
- 95% of my limited edition eyeshadows are from 2004-2010, with an emphasis on 2009-2010
- There may be duplicates of some limited edition shades (but they’ll be next to each other)
- Square-shaped shades are from holiday palettes
What’s inside the palette…
Top Row: Limo, ‘Til Daybreak, Hot Hot Hot, Free to Be (oops, a permanent slipped there!)
Middle Row: Living Pink, Maira’s Mood, Perky, Pink Papillon, Up-do
Bottom Row: Wintersky, Ego, Et Tu, Bouquet?, Liberty of London, Firespot
Nice collection! Is there a reason why you keep LEs separate from perm’s?
I’m looking forward to the gold and orange palette.
After blogging for awhile, I’ve found that using LE eyeshadows from 2 years ago pretty useless, when it comes to showing a look, so I avoid using them in looks — it’s easier for me to separate them out so I don’t accidentally use one, too. I try to use permanent shades and/or recently released limited edition shades — e.g. the latest collection. Basically, the idea being to only use colors/shades you can purchase.
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
Oh yay! I love seeing your pallettes 🙂 I couldn’t name almost any of them. I’m good at permanents, not so at limited edition ones.
Sooo… on another note… I FINALLY BOUGHT CHINA GLAZE RUBY PUMPS! I’ve been lemming it since I saw swatches on Temptalia and I’m over the moon about this polish. It’s so prettyyy *bling bling* Thanks a million, Christine! 😀
I couldn’t even name them myself & own them, LOL.
YAY! I am so happy to hear you’re as in love with it as I am 🙂 It is amazing!!
What colleciotn was pink papillon from??
Madame B!
How do u get ur le e/s out of the original packaging? This is a huge pain!!!!
Not really — once you do it a few times, it’s pretty easy! It took me about an hour to depot 68 of them 🙂
I have just 4 of those
I had no idea the square-shaped eyeshadows fit in a regular palette! Maybe now I won’t be so hesitant to pick up a few holiday palettes from my CCO.
Yeah, if you “depan” them, you can squeeze ’em in 🙂 I just don’t use anything that’s not in a palette, so depanning is the way to go for me!
Christine,
Do you think you can do a blog on how to depot your eyeshadows?
Here are some tutorials…

I loveee the Limo, nice collection!
Love it!!!!
Love your palette. I am actually considering buying a palette and getting the eyeshadow for $11 as opposed to $14.50. I don’t want to depan and risk breaking a shadow.
Since MAC opened a flagship store on 42nd Street in NYC I am really excited to just go and get crazy.
I don’t have many pinks..but I guessed the two that I have!! (Free to be and HotHOtHot..) I am excited for the gold and orange…I have more of those..
how do you depot the square ones?
I haven’t done it in several years–I think mine are from the 2005 palettes–I just popped the plastic pan out, then I used a lighter to melt the pans out.
I was wondering if your MAC store allows you to Back 2 MAC the eyeshadow singles with just the plastic outer part (and no metal pan.) That’s a WHOLE lot of Back 2 MAC you’d have.
They should, but unfortunately, Back 2 MAC is one of the worst implemented programs (in terms of what rules apply and are applied uniformly). I don’t do B2M very often, but I’ve been able to do that in the past.
Great collection! I didn’t know you could fit in the square ones also.
oooOooo…I want firespot!
christine! is firespot like amber lights?
Not really 🙁 Firespot is really orange, Amber Lights is more coppery.
dang. thanks a lot tho!
