MAC vs E.L.F eyeshadow palette


Elf elements eyeshaddow palette £1.50
Mac eyeshadow palette £6.50
Elf elements Eyeshadows £1.50 each
Mac Pro palette refill pan £10 each or mac single Eyeshadows are £12.50 each but then you will have to depot them wich is quiet easy if you watch videos how to do it, I depotted 3 of my mac Eyeshadows and some blushes and haven't damaged any yet and hopefully never will.
Elf palette on left, mac palette on right
Here's what the palettes look like empty, both palettes fit both mac or elf Eyeshadows so you can swap and put the elf Eyeshadows in the mac palette or mac Eyeshadows in elf palette 
Here the mac Eyeshadows are in the elf palette and elf Eyeshadows are in the mac palette
Here the elf Eyeshadows are in the mac palette if you use the Eyeshadows a wile the eye stamp will fade away leaving plain eyeshadows that look like the mac Eyeshadows.

As you can see elf ivory and mac nylon are quiet similar and are nice highlight colours, and elf wheat is very similar to Mac woodwinked

Elf says: Luxuriously smooth and silky mineral formula provides eyes with a neutral base and an awakened brightness for a long-lasting wear. Choose your favorite colours that best compliment your unique and beautiful look. 1.5g
Mac says: Highly pigmented powder. Applies evenly, blends well. Create a customized palette of shades. Fits into Pro Palette case for easy storage and transport. Please note - Eye Shadows weight vary slightly based on the density of the product. 1.5g

I love how the elf palette had a big mirror and the quality if the palette feels amazing for £1.50 so I sometimes use that palette because the mac palette doesn't have a mirror and I also love that you can fill a palette for only £7.50 including the palette from elf but to fill a mac palette including the palette costs £46.50 so there is a big difference but I also love the look of the mac palette because it has a clear lid so you can see the colours when the palette is closed and I love mac Eyeshadows because there is so many to choose from and I do prefer mac Eyeshadows but E.l.f is a nice cheaper alternative.

Elf 50 piece makeup artist palette

This is a good palette if you want a good selection of colours for yourself or if your doing makeup on somebody else 
As you can see in this pic there is 5 blushes 5 bronzers and 40 Eyeshadows


Blushers


Bronzers



Eyeshadows  

As you can see on the picture of the bronzers some of them are too light for me but I love the 2nd to last bronzer and I use that 1 the most 

I'm not as impressed with the quality of the Eyeshadows as I am with the blush and bronzers because with the Eyeshadows some feel more chalky and not as pigmented but there are some nice 1s in there

Over all this is a good budget friendly palette, I don't recommend for travel because it's quiet big and bulky but it's nice to use at home for creating different looks 

If you have this palette let me know what you think of it :) xxx

Elf little black beauty book (glam holiday)





I bought this palette from elf before Christmas because I wanted an eyeshadow palette that was small and had nude colours because there the colours I mainly use on my eyes but it also has some pop of colour aswel, I have urban decay 1,2 and 3 and this isn't a comparison because there totally different palettes, but I do think this palette is good quality for the price and it's small (smaller than the naked palettes) and this contains an amazing 48 eyeshadows

Right side of palette

As you can see the colours are really pretty, some if the colours are more pigmented than others but it's still worth it because I think it was only £8 and considering you get 48 eye shaddows it works out less than 17p per eyeshadow. 
It's a really good palette for travelling and I always have it in my handbag 

Do you have this palette and if so do you like it? Leave me a comment below and let me know :) xxx
