Makeup Minute-Drugstore Eye Shadow Palettes

I'm finally getting around to sharing one of my favorite products at the drugstore, eye shadow palettes!  Eye shadow palettes have been around for a while with high end brands but this is a pretty new thing for the drugstore.  Usually drugstores just have the quads with 4 colors in a small eye shadow set, but with the palettes your able to get a variety of even more shades in one place without breaking the bank.  Most found that they wanted the Urban Decay Naked look without paying $54 dollars, so the drugstore saved the day with a cheaper alternative.
 
Some of my favorites are the eye shadow palettes from Maybelline.  I've heard these have mixed reviews, but I think they have great value and quality for the price!  They started the collection with The Nudes, then came The Blushed Nudes, and fairly recently released The Rock Nudes.

The great thing about these palettes is that they are one of the most affordable throughout the drugstore.  You can find them at Walmart for $9.00!  Other well known brands that I've heard have great, new eye shadow palettes include L'Oreal, Revlon, wet n wild, and Covergirl. I can't wait to get my hands on all of them! Shh.. don't tell Dallin! :) All range in price and quality, but I absolutely love that this is something you can now find at your local drugstore.
 
If you've tried any of these or others that I haven't mentioned and should try let me know!   I'm always up for trying new eye shadows!

Makeup Minute: Mixing Mascaras

Something I have loved doing in beauty routine is mixing mascaras.  This is a great way to mix up results and achieve the look that you are going for.  Have you ever wanted a mascara to just do it all?  Give you length, definition, volume...the list could go on and on.  Well you can do that by making your own custom mix!

For instance I love my Covergirl LashBlast mascara it's perfect for every day, but if I want to amp up the length of my lashes for a night out I could top it with Eyeko Black Magic mascara. 

Another combo I love is Maybelline The Rocket with Eyeko Black Magic, The Rocket gives so much volume while the Black Magic adds length. 

There really are so many possibilities with this!



 
We finally have our own chance to make that perfect mascara that each of us like.  If you come across a favorite combo let me know!
