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.
Even the palette itself was bubble-wrapped!

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!

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.
