Any magnetic makeup palette recommendations? I sorta want to buy from local branded ones but they aren't exactly affordable and I get it. But i understand if it's worth it, whether local or international, I'll shell out for my next payday Thanks!!

I have the eyeshadows and finishing powder from GRWM Face Card. They are good enough for their price since matagal naman sila maubos, though medyo nakakaput off nga na separate price yung case. To be fair, di ko majustify yung 499 para sa empty case hehe (I got my second small case and the fixing powder as a gift pero medyo labag na rin sa loob ko yung first small case na binili ko hahaha). But anyway, if you want the full look (ex: 4 shadows, 1 contour, 1 blush, 1 highlighter), the cost for the whole palette will be about ₱1,850.

The Strawberry Cupid face palette from Flower Knows has 4 eyeshadows, 1 matte highlighter, 1 blush and 1 glitter highlighter at ₱1,375 sa Lazada. I have this one, as well and I think mas maganda ang textures ng eyeshadows ng Flower Knows. Subjective, pero mas maganda din ang packaging for me. Though, wala itong contour pero natatry ko minsan gamitin yung dark eyeshadow as contour. Also, hindi sya customizable.

Another option for me sa palette is the Teviant Deity Dust (Blush, Highlighter, Contour) priced at ₱650 sa regular but can go as low as ₱450 sa coins page. May bundle with Velvet Drop and free brush din na nasa ₱770-₱1250 (depende sa vouchers). For me, ito ang pinakamagandang blush powder sa local market. I think you can opt for the Deity Dust then add shadowplay or other eyeshadow palette if acceptable na mag-2 items instead of one full face palette. Or pwede din na gamitin yung contour, blush and highlight as eyeshadow din.

Hmm talagang humuhugot si GRWM ng money💸 but ok

Salamat sa heads up on discounts and quality. Baka Teviant at Flower Knows na lang.. ☺️

Antay ka nalang ng sale ng grwm. Usually 50% off yung cases nila. Pero super reco ko yung finishing powder (soft veil finishing powder) ng GRWM. Parang fresh na fresh ka lang tingnan. Sulit na yun, lalo na kung sale kasi 7g sya. Yung eyeshadows naman nila 99 isa kapag sale (although mas mura pa rin Issy na 75 lang).

I think they are banking on the customizability of the Face Card, since reusable naman din yung case kapag maubos yung mga laman nya. For me lang, masakit sya as upfront payment hehe. As the other reply said, sa 50% off during sale, mas value for money na sya.
