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 ;)
