Affordable Eyeshadow Palettes

I'm usually very skeptical of uber cheap cosmetics. Why should 28 colors ever cost under three dollars? What did they save money on? Was it color? Quality? Safety? Packaging? What's the secret!?!

My last trip to Walgreen's had me come face to face with a Profusion wallet palette, retailing for $2.99. My suspicions were only halfway put to rest by my previous experience with the brand and their lipgloss, and I thought the brand may be a sister company (or even the same?) to the Profound $5.00 palette. Plus, I thought, how much damage can you do with $2.99 I already decided to spend on unneeded items like gum and chocolate (I put them down in favor of cosmetics!)?

The beauty wallets are very space friendly and boast a plethora of different colors. The wallets are in various color combinations and correspond to the color of the packaging. I purchased the violet and lime green, but there were others available. The size of these is slightly smaller than a cd case overall, but pretty much as thick as a cd case is.

Swag Attack!

I've been bad. VISA can tell you that. So can Mastercard. Discover too. But here's what I got to show for it!!


The damage done from the Makeup Show

I also tried a couple of new products through all my lollygagging through the city. I bought two eyeshadows from Terra Shadow. I have been looking at them in the drugstore for a while now but finally got a few to try out. Look at the pics!





Found them in Duane Reade (which is like CVS and Walgreen's in NY). I didn't think they would be sooo pigmented or so bright. I am most definitely going back for more!

Theeen I went to a Beauty Supply store in downtown Brooklyn lol (they are all pretty much one store locations, so I usually don't bother getting the names - sorry!). I tried out Sinful Colors and Profusion lip gloss. Amazing! I am soo addicted now!

Sinful Colors in Icy and Wink



Here are the swatches:


Sinful Colors in Wink

I tried it with my super bright light and without it - left side is more realistic colorwise.

The only thing I don't like about the Sinful glosses are the applicators:



By now, I think I have probably used up half of the Profusion lip gloss (it reminds me of MAC cream sheen - will have to see if there are dupes), and have big dreams of an amateur photo shoot for the Sinful Colors gloss. Plus they were all super cheap! Nothing over $3.00!

For the indulgent MAC purchase to brighten up a gloomy day, I bought the Dazzleglass in Smile!


So of course I had to smile! lol

Plus the lipgloss is covering a pimple!




Okay no more confessing for a while (I hope).
