   I agreed with the other reviewrs. I am very disappointed with the new unii palette design. I like the orginal version better with all the removal parts. The original version looks alot sturdier than the new one and it also sticks better. I’ve been searching far and wide for the old version but can’t find anywhere that sells it anymore. Really, really disappointed. Because of this I’m switching back to the the Z-palette. It’s cheaper and the quality better.Unii, if you are reading this…bring back the old design and I’ll come back…..until then….Z-palette it is….

   I was so excited to get my Unii palette but I think it’s a little disappointing compared to what I was expecting. Unii recently updated their palettes and packaging and raised the price $1. They used to be $29 with US shipping and now they’re “on sale” for $26 plus $4 shipping.
   The biggest disappointment is the new design. The steel plate is built into the palette and there is no removable rubber gasket; that part is now solid plastic. It doesn’t come apart for cleaning anymore! There’s a tiny gap between the plate and the sides and I know powder/dust will get trapped in there with no way to clean it out. It also doesn’t “seal” at all and I can see into my palette from the side when it’s closed!
   I wanted plain white and ordered mine in “Crystal.” It has small sparkles that remind me of lipgloss or a snowglobe and I’d like it better if it didn’t have these.
   The thumb grip has also changed. It used to be a small Unii logo encased in an acrylic block. Now it’s a large rubber logo that wasn’t cut from the mold very well (it has chunks of rubber on the side that I’ll have to trim off). It’s also a little grey around the edges and looks dirty even though it’s brand new.
   Overall, I think it looks less professional and polished than it used to. Without the ability to take it apart for cleaning and without the seal to keep loose/spilled makeup from escaping during travel, it’s just a pretty, overpriced palette.

   I’ve never been so impressed by any makeup tools as this.

   Unii palette alllows me to customize my own makeup collection, which ususally comprises multiple brands. I got myself two palettes. One to create everyday total face palette ( a tarte amazonian clay blush, a tarte bronzer, and 11 eyeshadows of various brands). I’m a frequent traveler. If I go on a trip, this is thr one palette I take. Another one is a fun palette with the rest of my 17 most favorite eyeshadows.

   Here’s why I love them!
   – Travel-friendly: Before I used to juggle holding a mirror, opening several individual eyeshadow packets, blush on, etc. Now all I need is this total face palette with a built-in mirror.
   – You know what you have: This makes me more creative in my make up, instead of always going to the usual eyeshadows just because they sit on top of my vanity and I can see them. Also, by knowing what I have, I can avoid buying similar eyeshadows.(silly, I know)
   – Cleaner makeup area: When I depotted those eyeshadows, a massive amount of packaging came out. I could not believe my vanity used to look like that. Now it’s so much classier-looking. These palettes are so gorgeous.
   – I can now travel wih my Wet ‘n Wild shadows!: if you own some of their palettes like me, you would probably also love the shadows, but hate the packaging. Their soft eyeshadows and the flimpsy packaging are definitely a bad duo. I could not imagine how you can travel with them. Not any more!

   Tips: If you want to pack more color varieties for your trip but feel like you cant’t fit enough into a unii palettp, NYX smokey palettes have square little shadows. You can fit a lot of these into each unii palette.
