Makeup Mail: Manly Cosmetics 120 Palette
If you are into colourful looks but are not keen on purchasing dozens of single colour pots, this palette may be something to try.
Comprising 120 eyeshadows in variations of rainbow hues and more, this 22.7 x 15 x 1.7 cm palette from Manly Cosmetics is manufactured by Meidu Cosmetics Factory in China (and/or possibly Hong Kong) and includes a nice balance of matte and shimmery eyeshadows. I was rather amused by its name which connotes masculinity but it really stands for a Chinese name, 曼莉. When romanised, it reads/is pronounced ‘Mun Lee’.
I cannot vouch for the safety of the eyeshadows but online reviews have so far been positive. You can read some comments here and watch video reviews here. The general feedback is that the palette provides an extensive selection of colours (a little hard not to do, given its mindboggling number of pans!), gives good colour payoff (check out the pigmented swatches) and is value-for-money (divide its price by 120 and you will agree with this).
You can purchase it from beauties-factory.com, which seems to be the sole online retailer. You can also purchase it from the same retailer – with a different moniker – on eBay, where you can get the palette at a slightly lower price; depending on whether you are outbid. The palette typically comes with a free Made-in-China travel brush set.
I must concur with the many reviewers who say that chic.gallery ships the palette very securely. It came wrapped in safe sex style; that is, reams of bubble wrap wound securely and tightly around the palette box!
Even with the secure packing, a few buyers have received palettes with cracked eyeshadows. If this happens to you and the damage isn’t extensive, try pressing the shadow(s) back in using methylated spirit or rubbing alcohol to bind the powder.
Safe sex 
Even the palette itself was bubble-wrapped!

Hey Ronald,
Thank you!
I woul like to know how can i buy the make up Manly cometics 120 palette…. my cell 215-768.8543
Hi Jacimara,
I don’t sell them but you can purchase them on eBay.
it’s very helpful. thank you!!!
Hi Candie,
You’re welcome.
where can l buy manly makeup cosmetics?, is urgent if l can answer quick please
Hi Lucy,
eBay seems to be the best place, so far.
eBay for sure is the place for it, most of the Asian sellers are very professional and helpful. If your package is damaged or doesn’t arrive they will send a new one out. I’ve received a palette with a few broken yellows and sent a quick email and they said keep the palette and they will send a fresh replacement and I received it in about 15 days. BHcosmetics.com sells the exact product but with their name on it if you’d rather receive it quicker. BH carries the 2 120 palettes that are easily found on eBay as well as a new one that I’ve not seen anywhere else. Their 60 lip palette is the best thing ever, I’ll probably never use lipstick again. Good luck.
Hi Adrian,
Thanks for your feedback. I haven’t tried the lip palettes but I do love my 120 eyeshadow one!
i’m looking at all of these pallettes and they look VERY similar to BHCOSMETICS Eyeshadow. I was totally convinced into purchasing their item but after seeing MANLY Eyeshadows they look exactly alike. Is BHCOSMETICS a fraud?
Hi CK,
I’m not sure. Perhaps they’re from the same company?
i received manly makeup 120 pallete as a gift for my birthday in 09 it is one of the best things ever and pretty much the best eyeshadow ive ever used. i highly recommend it and it has a wide variety of colors you will love it

Hey,
I got this palette a few months ago, I just did a post on them. They really are a bargain, I got it off Ebay and only one shadow was broken, not even, just a bit cracked. I used a coin and tissue to fix it – its great for trying out new looks. Love the site makeupmag!

Thank you, LipstickUtopia! Enjoy your palette.
Hi there!
I can’t read the ingredients from the pic but does it contain mineral oil and parabens?
Thanks!
Sasha
Hi Sasha,
I don’t see parabens on the ingredient list but I won’t be surprised if they’re inside. I think mineral oil is on the list, iirc.
