Excellent quality at a super low cost. Impossible, you say. But, Eureka! Wet n Wild offers some of the most highly-pigmented, blendable and vibrant colors just at your local drugstore. I found mine at Walgreens for $4.99. That’s right – eight colors for under $5 (I just had to pick up two).
I figure a budget buy is an awesome opprotunity to try out a color outside my comfort zone. I read somewhere that blue eyeshadow – even if it is subtle – can tame red eyes. With lots of late nights that come with a new business, I am no stranger to this problem. So I picked up Blue Had Me at Hello:

What is so super cool about the palettes is they come with instructions. While they are super pigmented, they offer a “how to” on what they call a “sweet look”: the lightest shadow to the brow.

These shadows perform so well – I don’t know how they do it? For those who want a more neutral look, the palatte also comes in Comfort Zone:
