MAKE UP FOREVER is Mine… Mine… Mine!
Tuesday August 18, 2009
Hi my name is Marie-Pierre and I’m addicted to all things make-up.
(Hi MP!)
Case in point.
I don’t really know what possessed me the other day, but an incredible urge to purchase almost ALL the MAKE UP FOREVER eye shadows started to torment me and wouldn’t let up. There was no way around it, the evil 
temptation got the best of me… I’m so glad it did. Hehe!
I have 50 more eyeshadows coming next week — I’m pinching myself. 
The pro palette, like of a jewelry box
These are by far the most stunning pro palettes I’ve come across.
They resemble traveling jewelry boxes, covered with nice thick black leather all padded on the inside, so the shadows don’t risk breaking as I’m stuffing them in my kit, and a strong clasp to keep them securely closed.
Inside the 30 palette are 2 removable trays, each will hold 10 refill pans. Wow, right?
3 Sizes
The palettes come in 3 sizes (10, 20 or 30) and can be filled either with eye shadows OR blushes. Nice versatility.
10 eyeshadow refill palette, Sephora ($20). The only one that isn’t leather padded.
4 Textures
MAKEUP FOREVER gets highest marks for color selection and quality. All the shadows are extremely pigmented, delivering long lasting, intense results.
They come in 4 different textures.
Matte: made of highly pigmented pressed powder, come in multitude of colors. Very strong coverage, doesn’t get any matter. Word of caution, some of the matte colors can actually stain your lids, it happened to me with the above purple. I didn’t care thought, my makeup looked great all night dancing away on New Years Eve.
Satiny: contains nylon powder, blends like a dream. Semi-matte has a silky satiny feel. I use these a lot.
Iridescent: semi transparent with a light sheen also contains nylon powder.
Diamond: combines the subtle iridescence of Diamond Powder with the intense, long-lasting color of Eye Shadow for a spectacular finish. Nylon Powder helps the shadow glide on easily, while pure synthetic mother of pearl emphasizes each shade’s color and intensity. Serious *bling*.
I **HEART** MUFE
I’ve said it before MAKEUP FOREVER is not about new collections coming out every other week, nor is it about discontinuing colors/products at whim. It’s about being a solid line for both consumers and pro MU artist alike.

Hi Marie!
Just wanted to let you know that when I checked out the MUFE palettes at the Sephora website, I noticed that someone had posted an interesting code: The 10 eyeshadow refill set is free with the purchase of 3 MUFE eyeshadows – Simply enter coupon code MUFE at checkout. Unfortunately, the 10 kit is temporarily unavailable – Perhaps they’ll have more soon!
Hi Laura:
Thank you so much for letting us know. MUFE was out of their 10 refill palette for a while, even if Paris it was unavailable. The MAKE UP FOREVER store in NY has finally received it now. Cheers!
That purple and diamond green are absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for posting these watches, we need more!
Hey there, I managed to get my hands on the same palette box, but I am having a hard time finding the refills. Do you have any suggestions?? I’m scared because, I might end up doing what you did and buy them all in one whop! lol. Thanks for any help you can give.
LOL Brandy! And you’ll never run out after that. That’s a good question… You may want to try to give MUFE offices a call in NY. here’s their number: 212-941-9337
Keep me posted!
