Excuse Me, Mr Louboutin but I Don’t Wanna Buy An Eyeshadow Palette Without a Case It Reminds Me Too Much Of That Time I Brought a Castle Grayskull Play Set Off Ebay

Christian Louboutin Abracadabra La Palette Collection launches into the world of powder products with a gorgeous Abracadabra La Palette Eyeshadow Palette and a Abracadabra La Palette Blush & Highlighter Palette. And guess what? Both are actually very affordable. I mean, for Louboutin that is.

The Christian Louboutin Abracadabra La Palette Eyeshadow Palette is available in three shade selections and each palette contains six shades of color and I actually like them a lot more than I thought I would because I still believe launching a luxury beauty line right is a bit iffy. That being said, the market seems to be upturning so, maybe it’s not THAT bad an idea after all.

There’s also an Abracadabra La Palette Blush & Highlighter Palette which is also available in three shade selections and each palette contains two blushes and one highlighter each. And again, I LIKE this a lot more than I thought I would.

The colors in both the eyeshadow and blush palettes are very vibrant and pretty.

Now price wise, these aren’t bad at all for a luxury brand each one is $78. Impressive for Christian Louboutin.

There’s a catch though.

No case.

Yup, not a single one comes with a case. I mean, if you want you can pop them into a Z-Palette maybe?!? I’m not sure if you can pop the pans out though but perhaps the entire pan will fit easily into a Z-Palette. But really though, serious talk, do you really want to put Christian Louboutin makeup in a Z-Palette?

Good news…

There is a case.

Actually two!

WAHOOO!

You just don’t get them with the purchase of your palette.

I mean, I’d rather they just charge me for the case and the palette and be done with it. This is where things start getting expensive. Abracadabra La Palette Refillable Cases are $78 each! You have a choice of two different palettes of either a red or black studded design. I don’t even like the design but that’s a story for another day.

Total cost: $156 plus tax. Affordable has now reached outrageous. Luxury is luxury and this is luxury so you can’t really complain too much about that price point as it’s priced accordingly.

However, I’d prefer they just set the price at $150 and call it a day rather than selling things separately. I brought a pristine Castle Grayskull off E-bay and ya know, it’s freaking disappointing, even as adult, reading a box that says, “action figures sold separately”. I mean, sure, as adults we obviously know this but remember when you were a kid and really, really wanted some play set you saw on TV and you thought it just CAME with everything? The car, the dolls, the play pieces, ALL THE THINGS…! And your parents would get it for you and the damn thing wasn’t even put together and had none of the stuff they showed on TV.

Dude.

The disappointment is real.

But it’s not the first time we’ve seen luxury brands and even mid-range brands sell cases separately and it won’t be the last time either I’m sure.

I’d have just preferred the palette come together and have a set price.

What do you think?
