whenever i do go to hk (most likely within the next 12 months), that’s my number one must-buy. not that particular palette, and not necessarily just one either. it’s not particularly economical, though for the number of individual shades the price (in hk dollars, mind) isn’t unreasonable. however, the chief pull factor is the sheer flatness of the thing.
all things being equal i’d much rather have something flatter which covers more surface area, than an absolutely smaller item that just is thicker, and especially not one of an irregular shape. given that this houses 10 circles along its length, it’s clearly not going to fit into anyone’s pencil case. but it would slide easily into a handbag right along with:
yes, i know that the macbook air is flatter, but it’s just too wide to fit into most bags. in the event that it does, the extreme width-to- thickness ratio would probably ensure it gets snapped in two before i can make it off the bus. and the price tag isn’t quite as flat.
Are you going to buy the eee?
