5 Eyeshadow Palettes Every Makeup Lover Needs

HELLO. So I have been wanting to do this post for so so long, but just never had the time and patience until now. I am happy to report my computer is back to its normal running slowly, but running self. I can finally include pics in my posts hallelujah. So I'm presenting to you five glorious eyeshadow palettes that I think you should have if you are a makeup junkie such as myself. Please enjoy!

Shall I start with probably the most talked about makeup product ever, the Urban Decay Naked Palette. Well there is a reason this is raved about all across the boards. The colors are gorgeous neutrals that have insane and awesome quality. They are rich and creamy, like any Urban Decay Eyeshadow. It offers two matte brown shades and ten shimmers. You can easily create a soft girl next door look or a rocker chic smokey eye. Depends on what your feeling really because this palette has it all. I would like to point out also that I have had this palette since a little bit after it was released so it is very old and very well loved. I have hit pan on 8/12 shadows so I would say it was also well worth the $50 price tag. Please go buy this if you are at a loss for eyeshadows or are just looking for new colors to spice up your look.

Can you say pan?

Next up is the Wet N' Wild Color Icon Palette in Lust. You can pick this up at any drugstore for a mere 4 or 5 dollars. The quality is sensational considering the price. The colors can be a bit powdery, but are overall workable. It includes 3 matte and 3 shimmer shadows. The color scheme is purples with the odd pewter shade that is gorgeous. This is my go to smokey eye palette because the purple is dark, but not harsh or anything crazy. I would suggest you pick this up the next time you pop into Walgreens for a birthday card.

It's a little hard to tell in this pic but the left side is all matte
and the right is all shimmer

Another drugstore eyeshadow set I adore is this Physicians Formula Baked Collection Trio in Baked Oatmeal. I got it for about $12 at Ulta, but you can find Physicians Formula at most drugstores as well. This has got to be one of the prettiest colors of eyeshaow I have ever seen. The sheen it gives is just beautiful. These are perfect neutrals for everyday or just when you want a pop to your eyes. These give a whole iridescence to your face that is just stunning. Get it girl.

Indeed all of these palettes are gorgeous; and, this next palette is no exception. It is the Kat Von D True Romance Palette in Ludwig, which goes for $34 at Sephora. It offers two matter shades, both very dark and intense. The rest are all shimmer. My favorite colors include a beautiful mossy green and a yellowish champagne that I adore for my inner tear duct. Overall the shadows are very creamy and pigmented so I would say pick it up if you're wanting to add color to your eye looks. 

This last palette I have only had for about three weeks, but I already love it so much. I actually ditched the other palette I originally had as my fifth for this one. I originally took these photos a couple months ago, but only the one changed. I hope in the future to try out more palettes, but for now these are my favorites. So moving forward, the last one is the Wet N' Wild Color Icon Palette in I <3 Matte. It's an all matte palette with your everyday neutrals as well as fun brights. I scored it on sale for $1.99, but usually it goes for $2.99. Either way it was a steal. These shadows are great for everyday as matte is more natural. I find the lightest colors are perfect for the brow bone. The orange-ish brown is a wonderful crease color for any look and the colors are great for when I'm feeling sassy. I think if you are looking for some matte shadows, you should try this out. Just such a bargain. 

Ok kiddies. That concludes this post. As I mentioned before I had all of this planned awhile ago, I just didn't have the patience to do it haha. I hope you enjoyed! Let me know what your favorite eyeshadow palette is in the comments below. Thanks !!!
