There has not been one pre-made travel palette out there that I have purchased and thought -- this is just PERFECT!!! I came somewhat close until I realized I hated the formula of the shadows. Otherwise, I've found travel palettes missing a crucial element, lacking in fun colors or including things I won't use. It was up to me to undertake the task of putting together the ultimate travel palette for myself.
The most difficult item to find for my palette was a decent shimmery highlighter. There was no way I was going to depot my Becca highlighters or my TheBalm Mary Lou Manizer. Some things just belong in their compacts.
Then, a couple of weeks ago, I heard about an indie brand called Looxi Beauty from Young Wild and Polished. She showed them in her Z-Palette; but, I wanted to know what they looked like on. I saw a video where a gal swatched them; but, said they weren't shimmery enough for her. I decided to take a chance and order some anyway.
I was pleasantly surprised. They were quite shimmery. This was after I ordered one of Anastasia Beverly Hill's Champagne refill pans and felt -- Meh! -- about it. (I'm still waiting for Makeup Geek to release her highlighters. They promise to be uber shimmery!!!)
Below, I have the name of the palette I bought, as well as the brands and shades of all the pans! This is by no means a "permanent" collection. I'm sure to switch things around in the future. If I do, there will be another post. :)
