This palette holds fifteen 36mm pans. It is magnetized. I did not realize it was cardboard when I first bought it. I would have preferred a plastic palette. Perhaps I will upgrade eventually. I did not want this to go to waste.
This freed up an entire drawer! I'm thrilled about that!
The palette can fit Prestige eyeshadows. It also is home to some of my irregularly shaped eyeshadow tins.
Much ado has been made regarding depotting eyeshadows from makeup enthusiasts. On Temptalia's blog (temptalia.com), she demonstrated the EASE of depotting Make Up For Ever single shadows.

They are constructed of a highgrade cardboard. They are magnetized as well. I found them super easy to clean. I also own the Coastal Scents empty 15 palette. The CS palette has foam which traps the minute particles of fall out, making for a very challenging cleanup for the palette.
