This is such a helpful video - I loved how you not only swatched each shadow but explained how you used each! This must have taken you a lot of time and thought and I definitely appreciate it. I must say that whatever you're using on your skin is amazing - very healthy and glowy looking.
Thanks so much! Will definitely do the rest of my MAC palettes- so interesting to hear what others like to use- would love to hear your favie warmer shades! x
thanks hun i am glad to hear they have them here :) do u know by any chance how much they would cost? btw u should do another video like this with your other mac eyeshadows this video is very informative and help in purchasing other mac shadows :) xx
You have a great collection of Mac eyeshadows. I took some notes and will be heading to the Mac counter tomorrow to purchase the eyeshawdows I liked. Your skin looks gorgeous. It's glowing... What are you wearing on your face?
Wow- thanks so much for taking the time to pass on taht feedback- I really appreciate hearing how it's helping, how it's being received, is it interesting etc.... Will do my other shadows by palette I think. Have yourself a beautiful day and look out for more, definitely! Jodi x
Hi there! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to write and let me know your thoughts and what you like / find helpful. Look out for more, and enjoy your spring! I must say I LOVE hot weather so will definitley miss our summer, but I really do enjoy putting on makeup when I'm not all sweaty and hot! A really really good silver lining!! Jodi xo
Fantastic chance to pick up some MAC at dramatically lower prices. I do go crazy when in the US at the MAC stores. Amazing what a few hundred will buy you there compared to here!
Can't tell you how much I appreciate your constructive and specific feedback- thank you! It did take a long time, and my poor hand is STILL recovering from that many swatches (and removal of) in one afternoon! Thanks for the skin compliment- between teh facials and some lovely products, it really has never been better. Chuck some highlighter in too- and it's glow all the way! ; ) I really appreciate your comment, and wish you a beautiful day! x
I can't believe how much effort and time you put into your videos. I really appreciate them. Gosh, this is like gold dust. You do all the testing for us and we get to pick and choose what we want to commit to money-wise. Thank you so very much
You gave me some wonderful recommendations! LOVE your color selection!! I need antiqued, cranberry, satin taupe, bronze, woodwinked and club! If Mac was opened right now I would go shopping. lol Gorgeous!!
MAC's Matte2 formulation is so much easier to work with than their regular matte finish. I wish they'd add to it rather than seeming to phase it out. I'm surprised more people don't have Brun and Typographic in their neutral/must have videos but I loved seeing your collection which has a lot in common with my "go to" collection. Thanks, jodi!
Hi and thanks for taking the time to say hi! I don't think you need to own any MAC and especially in Australia, the prices are ridiculous! It would come as no surprise to know that most of my MAC products were purchased in the states! I'm really lucky that I've got a great local store and at least half of the girls there are so sweet and friendly and kind and lovely. I know exactly what you mean though- MAC is a little notorious unfortunately. Not necessary!! YOU'VE made my day too, thank YOU! X
Would agree that the photos are truer to life. I would also suggest visiting temptalia (dot) com - she has awesome quality, heavy duty swatches for every MAC shadow out there, and I refer to her a lot. I also OFTEN search google iimages for particular shades sometimes with just the "MAC xx (shade name)" and sometimes with "swatch" added into the search term if necessary, and you'll get a good idea after a few images. hth, Jodi : )
Absolutely! I Have a couple that need doing- so will have to do a vid. But basically, it involves first removing the plastic round bit from the clamshell, then my favourite friend, isopropyl alcohol by using a pin to drop it around the pan inside the round plastic casing (loosens up the adhesive wonderfully!). then I place it on a straightening iron plate to warm the adhesive up further to loose, then use the pin to slowly work between metal pan and plastic round and wedge it up and out!
Depending on what a great highlight is to you, definitely check out Vanilla, Nylon, and Shroom. YOu can tell I love highlighters as Naked Lunch & Ricepaper are also lovely (and Carefree which is in the bigger, Pro Longwear pan- check that out)I have a soft spot for both Patina and Retrospek as subtle all over lid colours, and for matte brown, depending on the shade, really like Charcoal Brown, Wedge and Cork, just depending on what you're after (cont'd)
Thanks SO SO much for that feedback. It takes a LOT longer to do that, and it's because I hope it's helpful- so to hear that it is, is FANTASTIC! Cheers for that xx. I'm going to give your combo a try- thanks SO much for sharing- I'm sure it'll work for my brown eyes too. Cheers on the elf palette info, thumbs upping in case it helps others too! Cheers, Jodi xo
I'm glad to hear that Soph- I removed all my inserts the minute I got my MAC palettes- simply not roomy enough, although when someoe shows their palette with an insert in a vid- it looks so pretty! Just not practical enough for me! Is there a double sided MAC palette now too? I think I saw that at a store over east.
I'm not sure if they count for you or not, but if you're going and you're thinking highlight, definitely check out their pigments Vanilla & Naked (both beautiful and very versatile- just a matter of whether you can be arsed with something loose- but they're GORGEOUS!) XX Let me know how it goes- would LOVE to hear! x
Seriously, they make it hard don't they? They are in some of the stores at least- I remember seeing them in the self-standing store at Bondi Junction- don't think I've seen them at my Myer counter store here in Perth... If you call a store, they should be able to tell you the easiest way to get your hands on it, but there ARE definitely some in Australia! ; )
Strange about the Matte2 isn't it? I do have them in my other palette, but they didn't make my everyday - couldn't tell you why!!! Will do some more vids with the other palettes too. Love to hear from you- thanks for taking the time! Have a great week xo
OMG- what is wrong with them??!!!?? I am so sorry, Inglot is one of those companies that only go direct, and there's no stores in NZ either. That's so annoying!
Hey Jodi, I uploaded a photo of my two "go to" MAC palettes on instagram (hugsnkisses4u2) for you to see what I meant. New to instagram so not sure if you have seen it despite the @jodik76. I'm definitely making a list from your video and heading into DJ to do some swatching. It'll be interesting to see if the colours work for me as well as they do for you or if my palettes differ because that's the colour range that suits my skin tone and/or preferences. I'm excited to see!!
I love Nylon for a highlight (NC20-25) and am old school in that I use a shimmery highlight under the brow, extended out, along with extending other shadows out wide - have always done this, it suits my eyeshape, and now it's coming back in style :-) Electra for a light blue shimmery grey all over the lid up to the brow. All that Glitters with Satin Taupe. Crystal for a subtle shimmery lavender.
Can you get Stila in Australia? If so, their Starlight shadow is a better alternative to Shroom. It looks really peachy in the pan but applied, it is very much like Shroom but so much more "there". I have Shroom and struggle with it - either it doesn't show at all or it looks garish and frosty if I apply it more heavily.
I find your videos really unique, so accurate, full of informations and great tips. You put so much effort and time in what you're doing and it's a pleasure to watch the results of that! Thank you! (I live in Italy and it's so strange hearing you talk about fall coming, while here it's spring...we are quite in the exact opposite spots on the earth!)
Hey i recently subscribed 2 ur channel and i love it!! Ur accent is divine and ur videos r awesome and so informative! Wish i found u earlier. Would you please do this kind of video for all ur mac shadows cus ur swatches r d best i've seen and u explain everything so well. Thank u and keep going strong xxxx
Hi Jodi, I am planning to go to MAC soon, and I have some of the more classic/best sellers (Woodwinked, Satin Taupe, All That Glitters, and Amber Lights), and I'm looking for something else. Maybe a really great highlight or a matte brown eyeshadow. What would you recommend?
Great video Jodi... Would love you do the same for your 'coloured' MAC collection. Was quite surprised to see that I had very few shades from your collection. I think my go to MAC palette leans more towards warmer less grey browns maybe....??
Jodi, I have a new one of the MAC palettes as well as a Large Black Z palette and I definitely think the MAC one is sturdier. They're both great but. Now you can buy the inserts for the MAC palette separately you can fit far more in!
Where do you get your Inglot products? I am in New Zealand and have some things I would like. I moved from the US last year and am having trouble finding certain things w/o paying heaps for shipping. You are in Aus?
Thank you - thank you - thank you! I knew this vid was going to be fantastic ( I got my pad and paper and studied this as hard as a uni subject) I am now going to check your site for side by side swatches (hopefully)
sounds like a great recommendation thanks for that will keep an eye out for it. We can get Stila in Australia but it's very similarly priced to MAC unfortunately (close to $33aud for a single eyeshadow)
Carbon has always been pretty bad (I hated it 5 years ago when I got it). While it's not as dark, Typographic is so much better and other companies do blacks that are darker and blend better.
hi jodi do u know if the new mac eyeshadow palattes with clear covers are available in Australian stores? because there not available on the mac website and i really would like to purchase 1 :)
Just awesome...I can't believe your videos about MAC; they are SO interesting, not just helpful, but interesting. Your opinions are so strong and greatly explained. Keep posting them!
great selection Jodi; I love Shroom, Patina, Sable, Mulch, Club and Satin Taupe. Wish I could find a reasonably priced Aussie alternative to Shroom as I've hit pan!
Hi Jodi, another great video thank you. If you have time, can you please tell me how to de-pot MAC eyeshadows? Happy Easter to you and your beautiful family xx
hello and welcome! Thanks so much for watching, subscribing AND taking the time to write and say hi. I will definitely show you my other palettes, and thanks so much for the lovely feedback. Have yourself a beautiful day and don't forgot to say hi next time you have the chance- love to hear from you!! xoxo
Rosie- thank you so so much for that, I really appreciate the acknowledgement- that it does take time and effort- lucky I love doing it and the thought that it might help! Your comment shows me it's working-= cheers for that! xx
This is such a helpful video - I loved how you not only swatched each shadow but explained how you used each! This must have taken you a lot of time and thought and I definitely appreciate it. I must say that whatever you're using on your skin is amazing - very healthy and glowy looking.
Nyx makes some really love shadows - totally agree!
I love all of these colours!! Great job describing them. Very well organised video too. Thanks for your hardwork.
Great video and collection of shadows! I liked that you explained how they can be used also.
Awesome video please do the rest of your mac shandows. Your explanations and descriptions are great!!!
Great video! I also love woodwinked and satin taupe. I will have to try out some of those matte shades!
Great video, loved the closeups and swatches, also how/where you would use them. Very helpful.thank you.
Love these shadows! I have a lot of them too.
loved your video..i have brown eyes like u and its good to know what u use..u hve inspired me to make my own mac palette....thanks..
Thanks so much! Will definitely do the rest of my MAC palettes- so interesting to hear what others like to use- would love to hear your favie warmer shades! x
Inglots Matt Black in 63 I think is great. Goes on very pigmented.
Love this video! Love the face you put the swatch along with the name, and the type!
thanks hun i am glad to hear they have them here :) do u know by any chance how much they would cost? btw u should do another video like this with your other mac eyeshadows this video is very informative and help in purchasing other mac shadows :) xx
Very helpful Jodi! Great job!

Have I ever told you how much I love you, Jodi? Because I do :)
So fantastic.
Which is truer to color? The video or photo coloring? They are quite different. Trying to choose for a gift.
Thanks so much for your feedback- really helpful to hear- good to know the time spent is worth it! xo
Hi Jodi! Switzerland calling! I'm impressed! What an amazing collection! Thks for sharing your passion!
Don't have that one, but have heard great things about it!
Thank you so much!
Hi there! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to write and let me know your thoughts and what you like / find helpful. Look out for more, and enjoy your spring! I must say I LOVE hot weather so will definitley miss our summer, but I really do enjoy putting on makeup when I'm not all sweaty and hot! A really really good silver lining!! Jodi xo

Thanks for sharing. Great video!
You're on!
Very helpfull video,thanks!
Hi Jodi ,
Mac's newest formulation for Carbon is rubbish. It's so sparse. For lack of a better term.
I can't believe how much effort and time you put into your videos. I really appreciate them. Gosh, this is like gold dust. You do all the testing for us and we get to pick and choose what we want to commit to money-wise. Thank you so very much
Hi Jodi,

I'm glad to hear that Soph- I removed all my inserts the minute I got my MAC palettes- simply not roomy enough, although when someoe shows their palette with an insert in a vid- it looks so pretty!

ha ha! glad to have inspired. it adds up quickly at MAC, but sure is lovely to have some of those lovely shades! Thank you so much! x
OOooh, I can try, have never done that but I wonder if others have. I will have to do some research and get back! xx
Thank you so much hon- totally labour intensive - lucky it's so much fun! ; ) Hope you're having a great weekend, x
Seriously re the pricing eh- I know!! it was a bugger to edit! Cheers for that! Jodi xo
Good luck with your channel. Keep going at it and just do what you love! xoxo
They really should do better with their matte black- I think it's so weird...
Thank you, so kind of you to write! Have a beautiful day, Jodi xo
Ooh hmmmmm.... Shroom- sounds like a challenge! Keep me posted! x
Thank you so much! Really means a lot to hear that. Hugs xoxoxo
the price comparison between aust and usa makes me want to pull my hair out!
great video, must have been a real buggar to edit! thanks so much xx
They're lovely aren't they? Hope you're well hon! x
That really does mean the world- thank YOU! : )
Thank you! OK, will definitely do the others xx
They do do a decent matte for the most part!
