make you look fabulous in seconds. If you still have space,
throw in a lip gloss for that extra shine.

costs anywehre from $5.00 to $10.00.

that you bring eyeshadow palette that you use regularly - buy
one with all the colors that you trsut. Don't buy one that you
haven't even tesetd on your skin. Mascara and eyeliners are also
indispensable for those occaisonal touch-ups.
