Save vs Splurge: Eyeshadow Palettes

<p>It may not be as popular an item as it once was during the beauty guru, full beat makeup glory days of YouTube, but <strong>eyeshadow palettes</strong> remain an important product to have in your beauty kit. But unlike before, where the norm was having 35 eyeshadows in one palette or you had to drop serious dough just to get quality, you can now get a good performing palette at a very reasonable price.</p><p>These days, shopping beauty on a budget doesn’t carry the same negative connotation it once did. You don’t even have to wait for a price drop on a double-digit sale day to be able to get a palette that has everything you’ll need for your eyeshadow look (but to be honest, we’ll never say no to a good deal!). The prices may be more economical, but trust that the quality is not compromised. It’s also great that we don’t have to look very far for these products. While we love our favorite international beauty brands and trust their quality for delivering great eyeshadow looks, Filipino beauty brands have more than proved that they’re capable of churning out excellent ones.</p><p>Whether it’s by making them pocket-sized or trimming them down to just the essentials, these locally available palettes will give you all the eyeshadow play, minus the hefty price tag. Check them out:</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760516967248Eyeshadow 1.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p><strong>Save: Lucky Beauty</strong> Fairytale Eye &amp; Face Wardrobe Palette, Php 1,499, <a href="https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/lucky-beauty-fairytale-eye-face-wardrobe-palette-i4942251916.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shop here</a></p><p>You can count on Andrea Brillantes (aka Blythe)&#x27;s cosmetics brand Lucky Beauty to come out with covetable products, such as their newest Fairytale Eye &amp; Face Wardrobe Palette, which allows you to now just play around with a wide range of eye shades, but also complete your look with cheek formulas like blush and contour as well.
