Finding the Perfect Budget Eye shadow Palette

When I first started to use eye shadows to define and shape my eyes I realized that I needed not only my one brown and one purple eye shadow but i needed to find the perfect palette with a selection of beautiful colors that compliment each other. Unfortunately for unemployed high school students (yes that's me) I soon discovered that most palettes are a little too pricey for me. That's when I decided to go on a search for the perfect budget palette and well here it is.

The cheap one.

This is the brightly packaged, cheaply made £3 palette. The colors don't really show up and never last more than an hour so even though this the cheapest one I could find I would not recommend it in fact I would suggest that it was just money down the drain.

Overall Verdict- 1/5 stars. 

The cute one. 

This palette was bought from M&S for about £5 and attracted my attention by using the most adorable packaging ever (call me childish). However upon closer inspection the colors where tiny I mean like there was almost no eye shadow in these pots. Also the colors where all very bright and garish so not really what I was looking for. Nonetheless its super cute and a great "first eye shadow" gift.

Overall rating- 3/5 stars (loved the tin though!)

The Tiny One

This is seriously one of the smallest palettes ever. I didn't actually buy this for myself, it was a gift but I belive it was about £5 from Seventeen. The colours on this are nice and they stay quite well but it lacks any basic whites, blacks and browns instead has gray, navy and a pale pink. However when I did use the colors they stayed Nickey and the double sided brush that came with it was really good (I have since lost the brush so sorry about that).

The Favourite One

I say the favorite one this was my favorite one. This palette can be purchased from MUA for £4, the colors are all very subtle and also all have cool names like "Babylon" and "Golden Sand". Maybe it's just me but I much prefer it when makeup products have different names rather than just numbers. Anyway the colors all complement each other and stay for a good few hours. This definitley isn't the best palette on there market but for £4 its the best value.

Overall Rating - 5/5 stars
