If you're one of my regular blog readers or Youtube subscribers, you probably know that my #1 beauty vice is eyeshadow. There are few things that make me smile more than unboxing a new Urban Decay palette or swatching a MAC eyeshadow. Lol. However, there are five factors that I take into consideration before making a purchase: quality, pigmentation, color payoff, packaging and price. In this post I'll show you some pretty good palettes in several price ranges. If you have any that you think should be added to the list, just leave a comment below.
