Best Eyeshadow Palettes

Eyeshadow.... I love it. I have accumulated quite a few eyeshadow palettes within the past year. Some I purchased off Amazon or Ebay, others I bought full price or received as a gift. You will find photos along with the palette description. I will also try to include the retail price of each one. Some of these were limited edition so they may no longer be available for purchase. Of the palettes I own, in my opinion here are the best...


Best Nude/Neutral Shadow Palette: Too Faced Natural Eyes- This palette has 3 cards inside that offer 3 different looks; Fashion, Classic and Day. You get 9 shadows, 3 of them are in a large pan and the other 6 are in a smaller pan. There are 6 shimmery shades and 3 matte shades
 ~$36.00
Best Rose-Gold Palette: Urban Decay Naked 3- This palette is gorgeous for any look. You get 12 shades all ranging in rose-gold hues. From looking at it, there are 3 true matte shades, the rest have some shimmer to them. Also included is a double-ended brush.~$54.00


Best Everyday Shadow Palette: Urban Decay Naked 2 - This palette is great for creating that every day look or even creating smokey eye looks. You get 12 shades all in neutral taupe colors. Also included is a double-ended brush. 
~$54.00





Best Large Palette: Pixi Soft Focus Fresh - This palette includes 4 lip glosses, 6 blushes, and 12 eyeshadows. The only downside to this palette is your blush and eyeshadow tends to fall out in your gloss because there is no way to cover up the gloss.

~$34.00



Best Shimmery Shades: Lorac Mint Edition - This palette comes with 4 matte shades, 4 shimmer shades, a highlighter and a blush. I love the shimmery shades in this palette because they are very sheer and not overly sparkly. The highlighter and the blush also complement the eyeshadow colors. (Forgive the photo with all the smudges and color fall out in palette; it can get messy)
~$20.00

Best Variety of Colors: Pixi by Petra Eye Alchemy Assortment- This palette has it all, pinks, browns, purples, blues, sparkly, matte, you name it! It is great for just throwing in your bag and creating many looks from this one palette. It also comes with a dual ended brush.
~$28.00







Best Summertime Palette: Too Faced Summer Eye - Like the Too Faced Neutral Eye palette, this one also comes with 3 cards to create a Day, Fashion and Classic look. You get 9 shadows; 3 in a large pan and the other 6 in a smaller pan. Most of these are shimmery but the colors remind me of the ocean (coral, blue-green, brown, pink, yellow).
 ~$36.00





Most Affordable Palette: Pixi by Petra Icy Eye Palette in Buff Blizzard - I have this palette in more neutral colors. You get 6 shades that allow you to create a great smokey eye or very neutral eye look. There are 2 matte shades and the rest are shimmery but not overly sparkly. The texture is very creamy compared to Pixi's other palettes.
~$12.00







Best Travel/All Around Palette: PixiGlow Fairy Face Palette (Limited edition) - This palette is really cool in my opinion and perfect for travel. It has 5 creamy eyeshadows, 5 pink toned lip glosses and a pink highlighting blush. It also has a very large mirror, a dual-ended sponge-tip applicator for the shadow, a dual-ended tapered sponge-tip applicator for the glosses, and a large flat kabuki brush for the blush. It is a very compact kit and has everything you need in it.
~$24.00




I'm also listing a quad, trio, duo and single shadow that I think are worthy of being the "best" in my collection

Best Quad: Pixi Shade Quartette (Shades of Peach) - This has 3 shimmery peach shades and 1 matte shade. Perfect for simple eye looks and perfect for summer.
 ~$11.00



Best Trio: Wet n Wild ColorIcon (Silent Treatment) - This trio is so cheap and affordable yet the quality is top-notch. The colors are super pigmented and clearly labeled to help beginners (Eyelid, Crease, Browbone). The colors are perfectly coordinated for a simple eye look.
 ~$2.99


Best Duo: mark by Avon I-Mark custom pick shadow (Tiki and Biscotti) - These 2 shades are very simple; a cream color and a brown color. These make great eyebrow colors but also can be used wet or dry as an eyeshadow. They are fairly large pans that can be placed in a Z-palette or in the mark by Avon snap to it (magnetic) case.
~$7.00 each 




Best Single Shadow: Loreal Infallible Shadow (Iced Latte) - These are very pigmented but be careful for fallout. You have to pack on the shadow lightly. But the color payoff on these is phenomenal and they truly last all day. These single shadows are great for creating one color eye looks or using as an added shadow on top of a base shadow.
 ~$6.97

CoverGirl Bombshell Volume vs. L'Oreal Miss Manga

For the past few weeks I have put to the test two separate mascaras. These are brand new and I've been wanting to get my hands on them for some time. Finally, I was able to snag them at my local Target.

The two mascaras that I'm going to review are the CoverGirl Bombshell Volume by LashBlast and the L'Oreal Miss Manga. This is my honest opinion of both of them...

L'Oreal Miss Manga



Okay you will have to forgive the funny expressions but I wanted you to see exactly how the product looked on my eyes. This mascara promises to give you mega volume and length. The brush wand has a 360 degree flexible tip so you can get to all of your lashes. As you can tell from the photos it does give you dramatic volume and length. Overall, I firmly believe it does what the package claims. It retails for $8.99 Below you will find the pros and cons I found with this product.

Pros: Lengthens and gives voluminous lashes; comes in 3 shades (Black, Violet, Turquoise), wears all day long
Cons: Makes lashes look a little clumpy, non-waterproof, end of the day a few flakes under my eyes, very hard to get off the eyes, you have to build it up with 5 or 6 coats

All in all, this mascara was just okay. I probably won't repurchase this mascara because I have other ones that will perform even better. But for a drugstore mascara it gets the job done. Now, compared to the CoverGirl Bombshell Volume, I prefer this one much better.


CoverGirl Bombshell Volume

This mascara is a 2 step system for your lashes. The first side is an extreme volume base coat and the second side will intensify your look. As you can tell from the photos it does provide volume and some length but not much. When you first apply side 1, it does a great job of separating your lashes and giving you that wide-eyed look. However, when you apply side 2, it makes your lashes look clumpy and the formula is way too wet. It retails for $8.94.

Pros: Gives volume and some length, wide-eyed effect, lasts all day, comes in 4 colors (Black, Brown, Very Black, Black/Brown)
Cons: Side 2 makes your lashes look clumpy, bulky packaging, flakes off some, very hard to remove even with waterproof makeup remover. 

Overall, I am not really that impressed with this mascara. I really have never been too impressed with CoverGirl mascara. I will continue to use side 1 alone but may layer another mascara over it. I will definitely not repurchase this item.
