e.l.f. Studio Endless Eyes Pro Mini Eyeshadow Palette – Limited Edition

I have this eternal conundrum.  I love color, absolutely love it.  But it is really difficult to incorporate into my daily makeup routine.  I have a professional management job and while I absolutely covet just about everything from SugarPill (especially the Burning Heart Palette), I have some very serious questions about how much I could really use the products in my daily routine.

So before shelling out the money for SugarPill, I decided to experiment with something much more affordable just to see what I would use and what I wouldn't use.  I understand that the product quality between a discount store product and a high end product is very different, but when you're on a budget, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

I will say up front that I love e.l.f.  They are SO affordable that it really allows for a lot of flexibility in terms of trying out new products and colors.  Their quality is a bit hit or miss.  Some of their stuff I absolutely love as much as my far more expensive brands.  But there are also some disappointments - though, for $1, I can deal with quite a bit of disappointment.

When I was at Target a couple of weeks ago, I picked up the e.l.f. Endless Eyes Pro Palette for $5.  Let me say that again, $5.  The Palette has 32 colors and while I do wish they didn't skew so neutral brown/black, there is a good bit of color and for someone like yours truly who has some serious questions about incorporating color into the work environment, this was a great bargain.

The quality of the shadows isn't outstanding and it does seem to vary from color to color, but again, for $5, I'm really not going to complain too much.

I have played with the colors a little bit so far.  I used this palette and some other green eyeshadow singles by Jane cosmetics to play around with a green look for St. Patrick's Day.  

Overall, I am really happy with the value of this palette:  8/10.
