I'm wearing...
L'oreal Decrease Eye Shadow Base
Rimmel London Mono Eyeshadow in Glam Ice
Rimmel London Mono Eyeshadow in Night Jewel
Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Baby Pink
I was close to going to MAC, but I went to Target instead. As much as I love MAC, Urban Decay, Bobbi Brown and my make-up collection is a mix of many brands, I needed a basic eyeshadow primer and a highlighter eyeshadow for less. So although I could have justified a visit to MAC, the real challenge was spending less and getting something that may work also.
Here is what I bought and what inspired it...
Instead of Urban Decay Primer Potion, I used L'oreal Decrease Eyeshadow Base. I have used this primer before and it's very good. It is creamy and dries to a powdery finish on contact. Make eyelids feel "soft"!
Instead of MAC Vanilla Eyeshadow, I used Rimmel London Glam Ice. The MAC Vanilla is creamier and more nude. But I could not for the life of me find a highlight eyeshadow in Target that I liked, so I chose this one and it was more shimmery white. I had low expectations for this Rimmel since it was only about 4 dollars. But when I swatched it, I saw that it was better than I expected. And so many reviewers seem to love it on Ulta.com so I think I "done good".
So, I went back and picked up two more shadows. I like the gray one Night Jewel (used it with the white), but honestly the brown one called Spicy Bronze wasn't all that.

When it comes to make-up, do you resist the urge to splurge and look for budget friendly alternatives?
