Here are some APPROXIMATE measurements of refill pans for four different make up brands I have:
AMP Cosmetics: 1 3/8" wide (36 mm)
Nix'ie Cosmetics: 1 3/8" wide (36 mm)
Make Up For Ever: 1 3/8" wide (35 mm)
MAC: 1" (26 mm)
I just did very crude measurements with a measure tape. The MUFE are slightly smaller than AMP and Nix'ie. You can put MUFE refill pans into AMP or Nix'ie Palettes, but you CANNOT fit AMP or Nix'ie refill pans into MUFE palettes ;p
And obviously MAC is the smallest of everything!
Nix'ie Eye Shadow Singles (no idea how to depot these easily yet!) are approximately: 1 1/8" (29mm) so they will not fit into MAC palettes, and won't fit properly into Nix'ie palettes either (unless you don't mind huge gaps between the pan & palette!)

Nix'ie (Nixie) Cosmetics Single Eye Shadows vs Refills
Okay,Nix'ie sent me an eye shadow single because they didn't have any of the refill pans for this particular color. (I assume?)
And I thought, "Fine, I'll just depot"
Ohhh no! Not happening.
First of all, for anyone who wants to buy some of the Nix'ie stuff the singles cost MORE than the refills, and you get LESS product!
The Singles contain 3 gram/0.1 oz for $15. The refills contain 4.4 gram/0.16 oz for $12.50. You do the math!
The container that the singles come in is OMG Adorable!! I totally love it!! But there's no way to depot without ruining the entire thing.
The singles measure approximately 29mm in diameter, or 1 1/8" in diameter. Still slightly larger than a MAC shadow. (MAC is like 26mm i think?) But obviously they are a LOT smaller than the Nix'ie refill pans, so they won't fit properly into the palette. Sure, you could put them in, but they will have large gaps around the edges.
So, if you have to choose, I'd really suggest the refill pans, unless you're just one of those people who loves little pots everywhere ;)

Nix'ie (Nixie) Cosmetics Infinite Lash Mascara
I got this as one of my extra goodies in my huge order from Nix'ie.
Now, I've never seen a mascara with fibers in it, so when I opened this & pulled out the wand, it looked like someone dropped it onto a cat & shoved all the fuzz back into the tube ;p LOL Yeah, the brush looked all furry & totally bizarre! I'm like, "what the fuck is this crap!?"
So, I tried it out - being the brave, daring girl that I am. And lo & behold, those damn little fibers just disappear right into your lashes!!
It's quite nice actually. It left absolutely zero clumps on my lashes - and I mean ZERO. I even put on two coats & still no clumps. And no stray fibers sticking out anywhere either! ;p Maybe I'm just lucky. It did not make the lashes very dark, even though the color is Ebony. I typically use Maybelline Lash Stylist Mascara in Very Black, and that leaves my lashes extremely BLACK!! And very defined. The Nix'ie one gave my lashes nice definition, but I didn't notice any thickening or lengthening. It just separated them nicely & gave them a darker tint. Not super black, just a light black (Does that make sense!?)
So, I think this is probably good for those who just want a subtle look. I usually prefer very dark & dramatic looking lashes, so this wasn't quite enough for me. By no means a bad product, just not what I typically prefer to use! =)

Nix'ie (Nixie) Cosmetics Eye Shadow Sticks
Okay girls & boys, I have just ONE of these. Which really is enough for me at the moment.
I'm not a huge fan of glitter. And Nix'ie Eye Shadow Sticks are jam packed full of sparkly glitter!! I'm talking uber copious amounts of glitter!
But they are kind of sexy =) If you want a hott evening look - maybe for clubbing or some such - these are perfect eye shadow bases! They will transform any blah eye shadow into a super glittery, sparkly, wild head-turning look! Seriously!
These are almost the exact same size & shape as MAC shadesticks. You definitely get the same amount of product in the tube.
Check them out, if you love glitter!

I LOVE Nix'ie cosmetics!!! I have dozens of their eye shadows, several blushes, mascara, lip stains, lip gloss, pigments, and an eye shadow stick. Everything they have is FABULOUS!! I so totally love them! hehe
I've been using their products for several weeks now, and they really are amazing! The colors are wonderful, they go on so smoothly, and stay put for over 12 hours!! I actually had some on for over 24 hours one day - don't ask! - and it looked as good as newly applied shadow! That's how great this stuff is!!
