back to basics: eye shadow

For the longest time, I've been in love with this Chanel quad eye shadow set in these beautiful blue shades, but I've never been able to justify spending $55 on it.

Considering the state of the economy (just like Daisy said), the maternity leave, and the fact that I don't really wear makeup these days (I'm lucky if I have the time to put my hair up in a pony tail, before little Kaitlin starts pulling on my hair!), I think I like this cheaper alternative much better:

Maybelline Expert Wear eye shadow.

It comes with instructions on where to wear the different colors. And it costs $5.00!

It's definitely worth a try.
