I know we all like to save a little coin, especially for us makeup loving humans. Sometimes you just want to get some makeup that isn't going to break the bank.
Well, my lovelies; do I have a steal for you.

I recently ventured out to a store called Five Below. It's basically a store that sells toys, huge candy, t-shirts, little things and of course makeup and everything is $5 or less!
In the makeup section, they have palettes, eyeliners, blushes, contour sets, foundations... I mean a bunch, you get my drift.

I was gifted from a friend of mine, five palettes ( I picked them out) and a liquid eye shadow.
Totaling $28. Five dollars for each palette and three dollars for the liquid eye shadow.

Now I will tell you, sometimes the makeup can be hit or miss. But for the price tag, it's not a huge loss if you get a dud.

Out of the 5 palettes that I received, I really like all of them. Now, do I like every single shade in each palette; No. Some shades don't have much pigmentation and have to be applied a few times just to get the color pay off. But I will say for those shades that don't turn out the way you want them to when using them on the lids, they do work well when wet or putting a light base underneath. Although, you should be wearing a base on your lids anyway to prevent creasing of your eye shadow.

Below are swatches for each of the palettes as well as the palettes themselves. The darker colors in all of the palettes work amazing, the matte lighter colors are the ones in my opinion, don't have much color payoff. The sparkly ones show very beautifully, and can be enhanced when adding a darker color underneath.

The liquid eye shadow that I received, worked really well. I did notice that when you apply it, it doesn't dry that quickly, so you have to keep your eyes closed for a few seconds for it to dry. If not, it will crease. But overall it's a pretty little liquid pigment.
