My ChicBeauty: Budget Friendly Glam

Greetings Beauties!!:)

So, I am all about fashion and style on a budget.  It should be no surprise that this applies to beauty as well. I cannot go into retail stores such as Target, CVS, etc without finding my way over on the cosmetic isles looking for the next best item.  One day while on a "makeup browse" through CVS , I was looking through the Wet N Wild Cosmetics section.  Now, I absolutely LOVE their line of Matte lipsticks, but have never tried any of their eye shadows.   I have heard MANY rave about the Comfort Zone eye shadow palette, but has never been interested in trying.  I have too many eye shadow palettes as it is and didn't feel the need to add to the collection (need to apply that same thought to lipsticks....lol).  This palette has been passed by millions of times, but this particular day I just threw it in the basket. I am soooooo glad that I did.

The Comfort Zone eye shadow palette retails for $4.99. This a great price for the bold  pigmentation it has.  It includes eight shades of browns and greens that are both great for simple everyday looks as well as dramatic evening looks.
This palette is budget friendly and great for beginners.  It has an awesome guide to show you where to place each shade.  To create the looks below, I simply used all of the shades on the left side of the palette in the exact order, with the exception of my transition shade.
