I've long been a lover and collector of all things Mac, so when I started up my eyeshadow palette I felt so pleased to begin building it into something purely my own. Three years later I've come and gone from adding to it, but it now has 14/15 positions filled and I think it looks absolutely glorious and perfectly my style.
So without further delay...
(in order from left to right, top to bottom row)
Mylar - A satin finished creamy white with the slightest shimmer. I
Grain - Another satin finish, this is a lovely golden beige with a slight shimmer, and again does not look like much when swatched but it adds a lovely something special when used all over the lid on a lazy makeup day, and is also extremely useful when bringing down color from the brow/crease if you got too carried away with your blending.
Naked Lunch - Light pink champagne staple of eyeshadow bliss! I don't think I would be complete without this (as you can see I've hit pan). It is a frost finish, and you need this in your world no matter what your skin tone!
All That Glitters - Pinky beige with gold pearl and is a veluxe pearl finish. Again, another staple shadow that I time and time again come back to, and if this shade and a sun tan in the summer months is wrong... I don't want to be right!
Honey Lust - A bronzy peach with a lustre finish for a serious pop of bronzed goddess. This hasn't been in my collection long but I think I'll be doing amazing things with this once the weather gets warmer.

Soft Brown - A golden peachy brown with a matte finish that is one of my absolute favorite transition colors for my crease.
Cork - This is a little cooler and more muted of a golden brown when compared to Soft Brown, but also an amazing crease color. I also love applying this over the lid and smudging it under my lower lash line for a simple and quick soft smokey eye effect.
Espresso - A matte chocolate brown, which actually looks darker in the pan than it does once its applied to the skin. I love this for blending out deeper brown eye looks.
Mulch - A brown bronze with slight red undertones. It has a velvet finish which makes it a dream to apply and blend, and is one of my personal favorites when combined with All That Glitters.

Quarry - This is a matte, soft taupe/plum shade. I've had this one for quite a while but I seem to only be drawn to it during the fall months - big love for the sultry eye look this can create!
Copperplate - Before I say anything, just LOOK at that grey! This is a matte mid-tone grey, and unlike any grey I've ever owned before, it's just sooo lovely. It also has the best texture of any of my shadows in the palette, so velvety and silky.
Sketch - A burgundy/plum with slight hints of red shimmer. It has a velvet finish and is a must have for fall and winter for me. Using Fix+ and a liner brush I line my upper lash line for a different look, a great alternative to black or brown.
Beauty Marked - Velvet finished black/purple with sparkle. This is probably my least favorite of all my shadows as it does not come off half as impressive on the skin as it looks in the pan. Using a wet brush helps, but it just isn't quite as you'd expect.
Black Tied - A black with silver sparkle throughout and has a velvet finish. I enjoy this as its not quite as black as something like Carbon, and when used correctly you can achieve a lovely sparkle while deepening up any look, or using it as a liner.

I hope you all enjoyed my little run down of my Mac palette, and I'm sure you will be the first to know when I fill my final spot! If you have a favorite that I should maybe consider for the position let me know!
