I love eyeshadow, and I’m always on the lookout for new palettes. And let me tell you, I’ve found the best affordable eyeshadow palette! 

With the current pandemic, I’m not going anywhere or putting on makeup all that often. But, that hasn’t stopped me from continuing to buy makeup. Anyone else? Now, instead of buying a bunch of lipsticks, I’m being “smart” and focusing on skin and eyes. 

Recently, I was watching a I watched a KathleenLights YouTube video on a full-face of makeup under $10, and she showed an E.L.F Bite Size eyeshadow palette. She seemed impressed with it, so I made a mental note to check it out. 

After Black Friday, I had a 20% coupon for Ulta, so I was poking around and remembered that palette. What I didn’t realize was each palette is only $3! WHAT?! So naturally I had to buy three and try them all out. I would have bought more, but they were out of stock. There’s also a couple palettes with more “wild” colors that I knew I probably wouldn’t use. So I held off getting those too. 

When the package finally showed up, my first thought was “holy cow these are tiny!”, but for $3 it makes sense. Then right away I opened them up and swatched them all. And I was definitely impressed! 

The color payoff was great, both the mattes and the shimmers. I got really excited for when I finally get to do my makeup for something and try them out! 

The second thing I did was go back on Ulta’s site and buy the last two palettes that were out of stock and buy the other ones I already had as Christmas gifts!
