Yaby Cosmetics World of Pearl Paint Palette: Swatches & Review

PURCHASED

Yaby Cosmetics World of Pearl Paint Palette

I've actual had this palette for 4 years now and it was the first one I got from the line. Before I had ordered a few single shadows and freedom system palette ( This was before Z-palettes hit the market ;) ) from Yaby when the brand launched. I've been sitting on those post for awhile as I wanted to get all the eyeshadows first before doing my reviews. It retailed for $149CAN at that time.

These shadows single pans retail for $4.85CAN each for 3.0 g / 0.11 US oz of product and $172CAN for the palettes holding 40 shadows at a price of $4.30CAN per pan. If however you are a makeup artist or go to IMATS there is a considerable discount on these. 40%-20% off.

But one other thing to consider is that these shadows look small but they are deep pans and compare to MAC's simple pan shadows retails at $12CAN for only 1.3 g / 0.04 US oz you actually getting double the amount of product for 1/3 the price.

Don't let the packaging fool you. ;)

EDIT: MAC JUST dropped their pan prices to $8CAN per pan so that's a little less than 1/2 the price for 2/5th less the product.
