I'm generally not one for drugstore eyeshadows (Maybelline Color Tattoos aside). I swear I'm not snooty, I've just never really been super impressed with the ones I've tried. Of course, there are always exceptions and I've got my share of Wet N' Wild palettes and a few L'Oreal Infallible shadows but they're just not ones I reach for on a daily basis. When it comes to eyeshadows, my (not so) secret pleasure is nice "high-end" palettes. I love the packaging (<<< sucker) and I love the built-in color "guides." I find creating eye looks easier when working from a palette because the palette does half the work for you. And, yes, you're likely to plunk down some serious moolah but nice palettes last ffoorreevverrr. Like, years. I consider it money well spent.
