Every year my friend and I get each other makeup for Christmas. I'm looking to spend maybe around $40. On her wish list is duochrome eyeshadows (I was going to order from makeupgeek but they sold out of the ones I wanted) and I can't seem to find any other affordable duochrome eyeshadow brands. She also wanted a good long last blush. What do you suggest?

Have you tried LA Splash cosmetics? Also Too faced had great one's as well and at TJ Maxx you can buy them for $5. Another great brand is Mac cosmetics you can purchase the refills for $10.:) Here is my swatch of LA Splash lionfish and Too faced petal To the metal.

Those are so pretty! I've never heard of LA Splash, I assume I can't buy it here in Canada and I don't have time to order online since I'm seeing my friend on Wednesday. We don't have TJ Maxx in Canada :( I will check out the Too Faced one you suggested!

I'm looking up Too Faced on Sephora and I can't seem to find those eyeshadows. What are they called?

It's Too faced Exotic Color intense eye shadow :) Do you have a nordstroms rack in your area?

Unfortunately I don't have one near me. I don't even know if Nordstrom is in Canada yet lol. The USA has all the good stores haha. I've been trying to search for it but it looks like I couldn't only purchase it online. Do you happen to know if Sephora carries any duochrome eyeshadows?

They actually have their own brand called Duo Reflects. I have not tried them yet but they sure do look pretty :)

Ohhh my friend actually got a couple of those! I didn't think they sold them anymore at Sephora. She said that the pigmentation was alright but not great and that they were kind of patchy.

I have an Urban decay shadow in lounge that's really pretty. It's a similar shade to macs blue brown pigment. UD shadows are 18$. As for blushes Tarte amazonian clay blushes are my favorite. They last a really long time, blend nicely and are really pigmented! If you're going to order off Sephora I have a 15 off 50 code that I won't be using, it expires today. I can give you the code if you'd like (:
