Mac Eyeshadows, am I just unlucky with the lids?

[kittya]

yesterday I counted that I have fifteen and twelve of them are without the see through plastic lid. Not very hygienic is it? or, safe to transport them.

Why does this keep happening? its so bloody annoying.

Happened to me too. Design fault I reckon.

Buy the Pro palette (holds 15) and transfer them across. Instructions here.

Then save the empty pots for back to Mac and get free lippy!

I wonder if thats why they have such a thing? Im terrified to take them on holiday with me incase they all crack.

Yes, it happens to me too.very very irritating. It has put me off buying any more. I'm thinking of investigating Bobby Brown.

I have a few Mac eyeshadows and have never had a problem with the lids.

I want the Pro Palette now though.

The magnetic palettes are great - they do a quad refill too which is ideal for travel. You can also buy the shadows in the palette refill form (and they work out a bit cheaper).
