NYX Single Eyeshadow Collection

These highly pigmented eyeshadows have been said to be MAC eyeshadow dupes.
Locally, I can find them for $2.99 each. Recently, I added to my NYX single shadow collection.

I was fortunate enough to have been able to take advantage of a Sale @ the NYX Cosmetics website a couple of months ago. The price was about $1 per eyeshadow.

Take a look!

L'Oreal HiP Duo Collection

These eyeshadow duos are very affordable. They range in price from $7 to $9. Many drugstores sell them as Buy1Get1Free (BOGO)specials. They are highly pigmented. They are touted on many makeup discussion boards as MAC dupes. Some choose to depot them to put them all on a palette. I like the packaging. They come with an applicator & a mirror is in the bottom of the case. I don't want to take the chance of shattering my palette.

Here is my collection

Who's Your Muse?

Last Year, Erin of scandalousbeauty let us all know that Kelly Rowland is her muse.
Little wonder, as they are of similar complexion & share the same shaped face.

I found myself intrigued by the editorial pictures of Jennifer Hudson. She looks so striking. She earned her spot as my muse for her editorial looks shot by Derek Blanks. (OMGoodness, I wish he could hook ME up! LOL)

I particularly love how they always play up her full lips. LOVELY!
