Cheapie Palettes

I saw these L.A Colors metallic eyeshadow palettes at a Dollar General store for $1.50 a piece so I figured why not. I was pleasantly surprised because I actually like these a lot. The lightest shade in both palettes are chalky, but it's no big deal since I have more than enough highlight shadows already. The texture is sort of powdery, but at this price I wasn't exactly expecting a set of Mac Veluxe Pearls. They're quite pigmented, and they have a slight sheen. Two thumbs up from me.
Top 'Tease' and bottom 'Wine & Roses'




New tutorial that is once again not very loud. My bf and mom both tell me I talk too loud on a regular basis, so my camera obviously hates my voice and picks it up as little as possible. I just need to learn to talk even louder :D.



I'm wearing
Boots Botanics Tinted Moisturizer
Physician's Formula Healthy Glow Multi-Colored Bronzer
Hard Candy blush in Pinup

L'oreal De-crease
coastal scents 88 palette(bronze, dark brown, off-white)
L'oreal liquid liner and HIP pencil liner
Mac Carbon e/s
Red Cherry #1 lashes
L'oreal collagen mascara on bottom lashes

Mac Viva Glam II lipstick over a ton of Burts Bees lipbalm (that lipstick dries my lips out on it's own)

  1. I bought some LA Colors shadows awhile back and it was too chalky for me. :(
    But, I'm glad they worked great for you!

  5. I have two of these palettes, and I love them! I do agree though the other shades are chalky. Can't complain though, $1.50 is CHEAP!

  6. So freaking sexy, I especially like the double-winged liner and nude lip!*_*! Go Tiff!

    I also have one or two L.A. Color palettes, but stopped using them; every time I see them I think, 'I should really pull them out of my 'unused' stash.'

  11. I have a bunch of this cause I told my co-worker I liked her make up. So she gave me like 8 different pallets. They are very pigmented. I just don't like that they are all shimmer, they don't have any matte color.
