eye shadows

Just wondered if more blue eyeshadows would be available in kits or alone, jade or turquoise colors would be good) it seems its always neutrals and browns in the kits now.

I recommend going to Sephora or Ulta and checking out Urban Decay palettes. QVC doesn't really do a lot of bright colors in eye shadows and I don't expect to see them start because of their customer base, which leans toward more conservative colors in cosmetics.

Mally has had one colorful palette and a few duos, but it's predominantly neutrals here.

It seems I've seen more blues lately - not sure about turq. You might check out Mac. I think they have a vibrant palette with few neutrals. Bobbi Brown too. If you're not tied to prestige brands, check out Milani and maybe even NYX- I know Milani is finely milled with rich creamy pigment & staying power. I think I've heard the same about NYX. Come to think of it, Milani does have a lighter turq single.

I missed wanting them in kits here. I agree with @ChynnaBlue

I agree with @ChynnaBlue also. I have a quad eyeshadow kit from Wet n Wild and it's beautiful. It's very vibrant blue.

L'Oreal has a palette called Color Riche La Palette Noir which has a lot of blue shades in it -- only at Ulta for now.

@tiffiny I also like the light greens and aquas on the lid. Those colors compliment my green eyes and counteract the redness I have around them. I actually found some good color palettes at Ulta (their own brand) that are very inexpensive.

@tiffiny

Check out Inglot

lots of vibrant color cosmetics and they have what's called the freedom system where you purchase a palette with 4, 6, 8 (whatever you'd like) spaces and you fill it yourself with the individual pans they sell!

This is a picture I poached....

Not only is it practical it's really quite attractive. Note the frosted glass magnetic cover

@HappyDaze Wow! Those are some bright colors! I actually like to use a more neutral, light color first......then add a touch of a bright color for added pizzaz!

@Andreatoo Oh, I love that idea of creating your own palette!

lol they aren't for me either! Even in my 20's and 30's when I was much more exprimental and crazier I never went that bright, lol.

@2blonde

Yeah it's cool! But I was a bit ambitious; I picked up the 8 or 10 pan size and I still only have 4 colors in it! lol

I really need to go to the mall or their website and fill it up!

You wouldn't believe how many choices they offer!

I totally forgot about Ulta's house brand. Seems last I was in store they had every color in the rainbow. Since I haven't tried, I can't vouch for quality- but the color selection appeared never-ending. I *think* you can do custom palettes too. I saw empty cases for their singles a while back.

I bought an empty Mac shadow palette off eBay ages ago thinking I'd fill it. I kept running across it in my stash. Well, I finally got my first refill shadow and was sure I knew right where it was. I searched like there was no tormorrow & for the life of me now can't find the %*@! palette. Ain't that the way the shadow crumbles. lol

Can't win for losing. Mac is owned by Estee Lauder = animal testing. I really should stay up on this information BEFORE purchase.

Just like IT Cosmetics there's not ONE Mac foundation I've tested, and I've sampled quite a few, that do a thing for me. They both have a propensity towards heavy greasy or too powdery formulas. I don't have anything Lancome, but did buy a Loreal cheap mascara about a week ago. I'm trying. ... Still. Need to do better.

I know I veered OT. It's a shame. Mac has a great "Back to Mac" program and I especially like their limited edition lippies where every penny goes to AIDs research.

@Funloving

While I've never personally tried Mac cosmetics I often see Inglot reviews comparing the quality to Mac..but so much more affordable! And no animal testing

I have some Inglot e/s and I do like them. I have a couple small size Z pallets and a couple large ones. I do enjoy buying singles based on what I like and will use. Sometimes there are colors in pallets that I don't touch.
