So many pretty purples <3

This is one of my favorite questions to ask people! My husband and I are big on paying it forward.

Last christmas, the Doc Mcstuffins doll was one of the hot toys. We were lucky enough to get one for our niece, but it turned out that she already had one. People were selling it on eBay and Craigslist for 3 times its worth because it was in such high demand. We decided to list our doll on cl for the price we paid ($50, I believe). The woman who inquired first seemed so happy to find the doll... When she showed up to pick it up, she handed me the cash. I handed it back to her and said, "No charge. Merry Christmas." She shed a few tears and thanked me profusely. It was awesome.

The items I'd most like to have are: Eco Tools 6 Piece Eye Set, Coastal Scents To Go Palette Beijing, or Sleek I Divine Oh So Special palette

Thanks For hosting... Great question! How about you?

This is my little [Kiko] (http://i.imgur.com/MTHNvqY.jpg) aka Kikololo/ Kikonono aka bebe dog aka nub dog aka cat dog. She's a little asshole but we love her anyway :) fun story after my fourteenth birthday I got about $125 from my friends at my party. I left it hidden in a basket on my coffee table when I went to bed, and when I came out in the morning, she had gotten onto the table, gone through the whole basket, found the money, and shredded it. And she's also really not the brightest little lightbulb, but she tries so we don't criticize her :) and she sits only on the back of the furniture so we call her a little cat dog. And she does this thing I call her carpet shnuffling where she puts her face on the ground and her butt up and she runs around like that for a bit<3 okay I'm rambling now but she just leads such an interesting life hahaha and [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Himalaya-Herbals-Kajal-2-6-g/dp/B004FZAKQA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=337XGNTAUQ2R8&coliid=I1G9OF0OX090C2) and [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Wet-Wild-Coloricon-Eggshells-380B/dp/B005C50W3I/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=337XGNTAUQ2R8&coliid=I2HNM6T2Q4MOEN) and/or [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Coastal-Scents-Makeup-Palette-Beijing/dp/B005UBN3NU/ref=pd_bxgy_bt_img_z) would all make my life absolutely complete <3 they're all like a dollar haha although it might total up to slightly over $10, I hope that's okay? I really can't math hahaha

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOO YOOUUUU!

I live in Florida, land of the eternal summer. Fall consists of about one week where you don't sweat the second you walk out the door. Since seasons don't exist here, I don't change my color palette as much as I would in another area that gets definitive seasons.

With that said, I do tend to go more with mattes than I do during the summer. I think this smoky light pink is something I would gravitate towards during the fall. I also go for matte lipsticks more often in the fall as well. This NARS matte lip pencil in Bahama is one that I like to use in the fall. It is a really pretty shade.

I have been eyeing this palette for ages: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005UBN3NU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=21KHPTB35LXYD&coliid=I34N4AORN4VPC3

I think it would be a good fall palette as well! But any surprise would be totally awesome.

I am going to tag /u/earworms in this, she hosts a lot of contests but I don't often see her enter, I think she should!

Thanks so much for hosting!!

Sleek (a UK brand, but you can find it on amazon) makes some pretty good palettes in that price range. I'm not particularly impressed with the quality of my NYX palette (their single shadows are more consistent) but I think Sleek does a good job in terms of texture and pigmentation.

Here is a neutral palette by them: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008QYAJXU

A brights palette:

I'd shop around and find a palette you're comfortable with from them.

Also, Coastal Scents is really inexpensive and I think the quality of their Go Palettes are pretty impressive. I would avoid their really big 88 palettes though. I have the feeling that the bigger the palette from them, the worse quality it is.

I have Beijing and the colors are so pretty! http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005UBN3NU/ref=mp_s_a_1_16?qid=1375149120&sr=8-16&pi=SL75

I also have their brush kit--I would recommend that as well.

As for drugstore brands--Wet n Wild's "Comfort Zone" is a GREAT neutral palette and its only $4.99-$5.99 at drugstores. Their other shadows vary in quality, but for the most part, they're on par with NYX for a little cheaper. I also really like Sonia Kashuk's neutral matte palette (my mom has it) and that's about $19.99 at Target.

Oh, and definitely pay Nordstrom Rack a visit if you're looking for higher-end brands at ridiculous discounts (I see UD and Smashbox there on the regular!) Just don't buy a palette with colors you're not comfortable with using because its from a high end brand. When I was starting out I bought UD's old Fun palette because it was on sale and I seriously only ever figured out how to make one shadow work with my skintone. I ended up loving Wet n Wild's comfort zone way more.

Have fun!

This is an awesome idea! I would love to try this eyeshadow.

Also, my wedding derp face!
