DIY : Magnetic Batik Eyeshadow Palette

Hi girls!

How's your day?

Hope it's fabulous!

Here I wanna share my DIY Project that I made recently. Actually, back in the days when I need a palette of my single eyeshadow collection, it's just so hard ti find. And when I found the one I need, the price is just to overwhelmed for me. So, I made this project to fulfill my need in much affordable and FUN way! :D

I always wanted my own a Z Palette, you know the one with a magnetic sheet so we can place our own eyeshadow or blush of choice. But, the price.. -_-" oh well. >,<"

So, this Palette maybe inspired by the infamous Z Palette with my own twist.

Let's get started!

Here's how I did :

1. First, the tools that you'll gonna need are :

• Batik Magnetic Pencil Case. (while I was debating to make it's case from the scratch, I found this awesome Batik pencil case for a very good price! I bet you could find any type of pencil case in other bookstores as well :D)
• Balsa Wood. or any type of constructive material as board layer to the eyeshadow pan. (I'm using balsa as I had it at home)
• Magnets. (choosing this instead of a magnetic sheet because it's way more cheaper! :D As for choosing magnets that we'll need, the thinner the better!)
• Your eyeshadow or blush or bronzer or other depoted pan of choice.
• Double Tape or Glue.
• Cutter.
• Ruler.
• Cutting Mat. 
• Pencil or Pen.
• Ribbon.
• And you're good to go! :D

FYI : Batik Magnetic Pencil Case that I was talking earlier already has a magnetic closure in it. Mine got from Gramedia Bookstore for IDR. 13000 rupiahs >> $ 1.30 US Dollars!! Brand : KIKY. They have lots of different batik pattern as well :D

2. Then, measure the inner size of pencil case so we'll get the length and width. As I'm measuring the height, lucky enough.. we'll able to stack 2 layers of board!

Cut the board (balsa wood) according to our measurement. Twice as much.

3. Moving on, we'll gonna make marks to place magnets into each of the board. To make it simple, just randomly place the pan into the cutting board to know how many pans could fit. In this case, I could fit 4 pans in each board. So, I'll just divide the space with some measurements and make circles as the place of magnets. 

FYI : You can carve the circle into a depth of the magnets. Just to make it a more polish looking :D

4. After that all done, make a simple statement in each board, like so :

Here in the left, I cut a ribbon. This function as a lifter of a board.

For the right board, I cut 2mm board as a second layer height (see picture below)

So far, we'll get something like this :

 2 stack of 2mm board.

 As for picturize, it's function as the second layer height.

 5. Almost done! Now, we can stick the opposite magnets to the eyeshadow pan with double tape or glue.

 For attachment magnet-board I'm using glue, because it's the most secure.

For attachment magnet-pan I'm using double tape, so I could un-attached them easily.

 FYI : If you want, you can add little note so you won't forget the name of the eyeshadow.

And you'll pretty much have something like this :

 First layer : 

Plain board without additional stack. 

 The one with the ribbon on the right side.

The ribbon function as a lifter to the board.

Second layer :   

Additional stack board on the second layer.

 

Place it on top.

 

 And there you have it!


 
 

Magnetic Batik Eyeshadow Palette

* I don't even know why I'm making this face. LOL *


And if you're wondering, this what I keep all of my PAC single eyeshadow.
Once I already reviewed and swatched in my previous post --> Overview PAC Eyeshadow, Blush On and Brush Cleanser

***

Actually, in making this palette, there are lots and lots possibilities. 

You can either make one from an old pencil case that you barely use >> Wrap with a cute gift paper to make it look like new again... Or, you can use a cardboard that scattered at home >> Recycling is always a good thing!

Well, the possibilities is endless.

You can even save more money for sure, by just recycling what you already had.

This project cost me not more than IDR. 20000 rupiahs >> $ 2US Dollars!

 Being inspired what makes you creative!
Thanks for reading this post!
I hope you inspired! :)
 Good day all!
Smile :)




My previous DIY Project --> DIY : Surviving Your Cracked Blush

Overview PAC Eyeshadow, Blush and Brush Cleanser

Hi all!

How's your day?

Hope it's fabulous! :)

So, I went to PAC counter the other day, with a purpose of getting their brush cleanser. 

Buut.. end up getting their eyeshadow, blush, and pressed powder as well. 
*Oh well >.<'

( FYI : PAC stands for Professional Artist Cosmetics, it's an Indonesian local cosmetics. Or I might think it's like Indonesian version of MAC. >,<" )

*click the picture to go to their official site*

 Yup. Since you can see I already swatched and use them, I'm giving my overview and how it look on my face.

PAC Brush Cleanser

Price Tag : IDR. 86000 rupiahs ( around $8.60 US Dollar ) 

First thought? I knew it contain alcohol, but should they make it like a whiskey bottle? LOL. Actually, It's my first time purchasing alcohol based cleanser. I need it  for cleaning my Sigmax synthetic brush which tend too long to dry. Huff.

When I first open it, it had such a strong overpowering alcohol and fragrance smell to it. *Duh! But seriously, if I smell it too long.. I think I'm gonna passed out! x.x"

It said at the box how to use it --> I just need to pour the amount of liquid that I needed into a container and dip the brush into it. And that's what I did. Because it's an alcohol, so it got DISAPPEAR from my container quite FAST, BEFORE I FINISH WIGGLING MY BRUSH AND GET RID OFF THE STAIN. errmmm.. Lesson learnt : use a bowl or small cup as a container and WORK FAST!

To me, for 240ml or 8.11 fl.oz. amount of product it seem not much considering I need to use a lot to clean a single brush. Also, the overpowering smell transfer into the bristle for quite a while. eugh.

Despite the cons that I already mentioned, it does the function well. What can I say? my brush clean and dry within an hour instead of 2 days. and it promise to kill the bacteria and moisturize the bristle.

The Swatches

P11 : pressed pearly eyeshadow : soft salmon color with subtle silver shimmer

P06 : pressed pearly eyeshadow : golden bronze

P08 : pressed pearly eyeshadow : deep brown with gold pearl

P10 : pressed pearly eyeshadow : reddish brown 

P12 : pressed pearly eyeshadow : plummy color with subtle silver shimmer 

B04 : blush on : rosey pink almost purple-ish with shimmer

** I didn't swatch the pressed powder, it matches my skin tone anyway. 
FYI, I got it in the color --> 01 Sea Gold **

I've been bothered by the number code as the color name. At least, they could manage to name it with proper name, right? I mean.. I'm not wishing them to name it like NARS or Urban Decay did.

telanjang.. perawan.. dosa.. orgasme.. Okay, I need to stop right now. LOL

P11 is a beautiful highlight color for a brown eyes ( my opinion, off course ). Whenever I applied it on my tear duct area or brow bone, It opens and brightens any tired face that I have. The texture is soo smooth, pigmented, and I don't experience any excessive fall out with it. So far, Loving it!

To me, the winner among the eyeshadow is P06. And that's the main reason why I eventually stuck at the eyeshadow aisle at the counter and pick the other 4 colors. *Oh well. >,<" It got the most beautiful goldish bronze color! at that time I feel like I found another treasure. ( Okey, I've been hyperbole. LOL ) The texture is sooo buttery, easy to blend and crazily pigmented. They did a great job with this! Love it!

I gotta say, P08 and P10 is not the star among the eyeshadow that I got, but it compliment a lot for the other shade. It's the hype girl! Gotta have it, right? hehe..

P12 is such a lovely plummy color with a lot of shimmer in it. Once I tried to applying it on top of P08.. It become the BOMdotCOM. *speechless  

Sorry for not displaying a picture when I shut my eyes and see the color on my lid properly. ( I forgot. >,<" ) But all I do is taking the P06 on my lower lash line and all over the lid, P08 on the crease, blend with P10, and put P11 on my tear duct and brow bone. :)

B04 is a blush color. It's funny to me when it came with a same size like eyeshadow (all are in 3.5gr of product) It's funny right? or it's just me who think it's funny? lol. nevermind. However, this blush is crazily pigmented. You really just need to dab a teeny tiny amount of product, tap any excess and apply it softly on your cheeks.

That's it my overview.

Let me know what you think!
