I’ve actually hauled from Minimint previously, but never got around to do a proper review. My second haul arrived today, so here’s my proper review of Minimint’s palettes (not an affiliate link)! Minimint sells very affordable, one-of-a-kind magnetic eyeshadow palettes for $10 USD and under per palette depending on size. Since I’ve been on an eyeshadow pressing rampage in the past few weeks, I figured I’d grab some pretty eyeshadow palettes for the pans to fit into!

In my original purchase, I bought:

2 ‘Minimint’ 6×4 inch palettes

1 ‘Mint’ 4×4 inch palette

1 ‘Mini’ 3×3 inch palette

Jenny, the owner of Minimint was very nice and informative in answering my enquiries. There were only a small number of palettes available for sale at the time, so I requested for her to reserve 2 palettes for me while I waited for her new stock to be put up on sale. Once the new stock came up, I made the purchase and in about 2 weeks, they arrived! She packaged everything very neatly and even gave me a few Asian skincare samples and fake eyelashes! I don’t think she has it stated on her store page, but she includes a sheet of 24 round stickers for every 6×4 palette you buy which you can use to label and stick under your eyeshadow pans.

This time around, I bought 5 6×4 inch palettes and 2 4×4 inch palettes. Jenny offered to create custom palettes for me so she gave me her stock photos for me to pick patterns for my palettes. Once I came to a decision, she told me it would take about a week for her to finish my palettes, but she probably finished it in under 3 days! She even told me that if I don’t end up liking the designs, she could put them on sale as normal stock. She provided photos of my palettes and I fell in love with all of them, so I paid for the items and she sent the package very speedily afterwards. I paid for my order on the 28th of August, and it arrived today on the 9th of September, so just under 2 weeks like my last package!

The cover of the Minmint palettes closes pretty well, with a distinct clicking noise when you close it, so you know your pans will be safe inside the palettes. The quality of the magnetic bottom is very good. The tin pans stick to the magnet pretty well so you won’t have to worry about the pans moving around if they get bashed around in your bag. For comparison, I’ve bought a 12 panned magnetic eyeshadow palette on eBay and although they’re more affordable, the magnetic bottom isn’t as strong. The tin pans adhere better to Minmint’s magnet than the one I bought from eBay. The eBay palettes are definitely worth their price, though, but you do get what you pay for as some of the tin pans had scratches on them and as I said, the magnetic bottom isn’t as strong compared to the Minimint palettes.

I also forgot to mention, if you buy any 10 palettes from Minimint, you can choose a 4×4 or a 3×3 palette for free, so that’s what I did! I asked her if I could pay extra to bump up the free palette to a 6×4, so Jenny offered me $8 in store credit so I just needed to pay a little extra to cover the cost of the 6×4 palette.

Now onto the haul photos:

This is how the palettes were packaged inside the box, surrounded by more packing material so they came to me in perfect condition:

I won’t be using the new palettes yet because I’m still waiting on more tin pans to come so I can press more eyeshadows. I might also start depotting some of my mainstream eyeshadows and put them into the Minimint palettes, but I haven’t gotten around to it. Here are my palettes from my previous order (one 6×4 palette is not pictured):

Overall, I am very happy with the customer service that Jenny provided, and the quality of the magnetic palettes are superb. If you are looking for affordable, high quality magnetic palettes, I would definitely recommend Minimint palettes.
