My MakeUp Confession

Okay... here I go!

Well, most of my girlfriends know this and I am not in any way ashamed. I was once a MAC lover and it was hard for me to veer away from anything but MAC. Why? Because MAC is awesome and I will admit that it is still one of my favorite brands around. But after awhile, I was tired of eating dry ramen since that was all that I could afford after spending all the money I ever earned on things to make me pretty from MAC.

I later discovered this other line that I have heard about and read endless reviews about and decided to give it a try.

Each one of the palettes you see below is easily under $20... opposed to ONE eyeshadow from MAC costing $14.50!

Neutral Palette

Camouflage Concealer Palette

88 Color Eyeshadow Palette

56 piece Eyeshadow and Blush Palette

I was a bit skeptical at first thinking, "this is too good to be true", but I gave it a wing and bought all of these palettes along with a lipstick palette and another eyeshadow palette and a few eyeliners.

THEY ARE AMAZING!!! Of course, they are no MAC, but they are very comparable. The colors are deeply pigmented so they come out strong. And as you can see, they don't lack very much in colors and variety either! ;)

Yes, I had to compromise the MAC logo that came with each eyeshadow, but I was okay with it knowing that I can get up to 88 colors for the price of one. Call me cheap, but in this case, I'm willing to sacrifice a tad bit of quality for a whole lot of quantity! In the end, it worked out for me. How I see it is that I will NOT go through a whole eyeshadow in one day (thank goodness) and since I like switching up my colors and looks anyway, this is one way for it to be affordable.

I highly suggest that you give this a shot and even if you feel like its not worth your nearly twenty bucks, consider it just one of your eyeshadows breaking.

Oh yeah, thats another thing... I have 5 different 15 piece MAC eyeshadow palettes and they are hidden in the back of my dresser drawer at the moment. I prefer to use my Coastal Scents because I am loving the colors and would like to savor my MAC shadows until I really need them. Who knows if I will ever use them again?

Anyway... those of you who have tried this line, please share your thoughts, opinions, and experience. I would love to hear from you and I am sure many others would like to as well.

Enjoy, BEAUTIES!!
