Baked eye shadows generally give long lasting color and can be used wet or dry - I have liked most of the products I have tried.  I found this palette at a discount dept store and though I am not familiar with the brand, Paula Dorf, I bought it to try some of the colors. (I have since found that beauty.com carries this brand).  I have green eyes and thought some of these green & bronze colors will be nice for spring & summer.  There were no names listed for the shadow colors but these can easily be combined to create your own version.

 The top left color of the palette will make a nice highlighter which I always use and the bottom left color will be the base - then the 2 right colors will be for my crease. There is no glitter, just a light sheen.  For $3 I can't go wrong.

I have read some beauty blogs that only discuss very expensive products - never drugstore or mid-price brands and it is always interesting to see the reviews.  But I enjoy trying new products (frequently!) so I would never spend $400 for a face cream - afterall, I have to buy my grandchildren everything they want - it's my job!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not swayed by designer labels and would not buy something just because***** created it - probably within a year another company will produce something very similar and cheaper.
Certainly, cheap is not always the way to choose something but in this day and age money is not to be taken casually.  I enjoy a bargain as much as anyone and being retired makes me conscious of my spending.
Do you let price dictate your cosmetic purchases?  Is there one item like eye cream that you simply will not compromise on?

With my last Ulta purchase I received this lovely bag with all these samples - several that I have been wanting to try - if you click on the photo, generally the picture will enlarge

AG Dry Wax is nothing like the name.  It is a great spray texturizer that helps create my 'piecey' ends - there was no build up or stickiness and did not apply wet - I will certainly buy the full size of this.

And I hope to try these this week:
