Affordable Non-Toxic Eyeshadow Palettes // Palettes Under $30?!
Amazing and affordable eyeshadow palettes are getting harder and harder to come by these days. Unless, of course, you are going to the drugstore, but even drugstore prices are up there these days. Nothing is really cheap at the drugstore anymore! I went on a hunt for affordable clean beauty eyeshadow palettes and was impressed with what I found. The things that are a must in an affordable palette: 1) a great price, 2) a pretty color scheme and easy to create looks, 3) long wear time, and 4) blend-ability. The palettes we are talking about today have all of those things!

Lawless the baby one eyeshadow palette
Performance - This palette is incredible! The mattes are so blendable and so pigmented. The first row in the palette can create a beautiful neutral look easily. The rest of the colors are unreal and so gorgeous. I cannot begin to explain to you how truly insane the red color is. They not only swatch gorgeously, but they also apply flawlessly. The shimmers are so reflective and really add something special to your look. The best way to apply the shimmers is with your finger. The pay-off is so much better than with a brush, and they are easier to apply that way! Out of the two small palettes, Lawless offers this one is by far the best, both in formula and how to wears. I highly recommend checking this palette out! This is a palette that would make a lovely affordable Christmas gift for someone in your life.
Price - This palette is $25!
Vegan - No, this palette is not vegan.

Lawless the little one eyeshadow palette
Performance - This palette from Lawless is super easy to use. If you are someone who loves a straightforward palette, this is a wonderful option! This palette is not as great as the baby one from Lawless (the one above.) They are not as pigmented or buttery, however still enjoyable to use. They also require a little more blending. Overall this is a simple palette that would be awesome if you are looking for a travel palette because it has everything you need to create a fantastic look. The mirror that comes with the Lawless palettes are pretty incredible and are perfect for traveling. These palettes are definitely worth checking out, especially for the price point!
Price - This palette is also $25!
Vegan - No, this palette is not vegan.

Sephora Collection clean bouncy eyeshadow palette
Performance - Sephora coming out with a branded clean collection within their makeup line was exciting to see. Generally, Sephora brand beauty products are affordable and have a cult following from fans. This palette is not only affordable, but it is also unbelievably good. I was shocked when I swatched and tested the shadows because I was not expecting that kind of quality. These shadows are a putty/cream formula, and when you push your finger into one of the pans, it leaves a mark. These shadows can be applied with your finger (I find this to be the best way to apply them) or with a brush, but it takes more work. The color pay off is unreal! The copper and yellow colors literally stopped me in my tracks because they were so pigmented. The shadows also last all day, especially when used with a primer. This palette is a must-have item, not only for the price but how luxurious the quality is.
Price - This is $18, which is unreal for the quality. Don’t walk, run and buy this!
Vegan - Yes! All of these palettes are vegan 🌿.

Honest beauty Eyeshadow Palette
Performance - This eyeshadow palette is a great one because it is easy to use and mistake proof! This would be a palette that is easy for beginners because the shadows don’t apply very pigmented, so you can really build it up. When you swatch the palette, the colors are on the chunky side, but they apply nicely, so that doesn’t bother me. I would just be careful because there is a decent amount fall out of the palette. I would use a primer or concealer with this because the shadows will need it. This is def worth a try and is great for anyone who wants an easy to work with a palette that goes from day to night!
Price - This is $19.99 which is a STEAL!
Vegan - No, this palette is not vegan however it is cruelty-free.
