I feel like I would be more inclined to buy palettes if all the colors are new. A lot of these are either in the permanent collection or they're repromoted from old collections. There is also the fact that there is always, always one color in every palette that I just know I'm not going to use.

Each palette has a real snowglobe on the top of the palette with silver glitter suspended in liquid. What are your thoughts on keeping a glittery snowglobe inside your makeup bag? Potential disaster? I haven't seen these in person yet, but I did see a quick little video on youtube of someone playing with the snowglobe part. I can just imagine how upset I would be if it cracked and started leaking...
