Two Most Practical Eyeshadow Palettes I Own

Pink Pony Palette
This first palette is one I use normally every weekend.  It is the Urban Decay Show Pony palette designed by Kime Buzzelli for Urban Decay.  I use these colors at night because the pigmentation and color, I feel, are too strong for daytime wear.  I found this palette at Sephora but it is also available on the Urban Decay website.  This palette costs about 34 dollars and well worth it.  I have had this palette for over a year and haven't seemed to make a dent in the colors that I use quite often. It also comes with a sample size Primer Potion (not worth buying separately in my opinion) and the Urban Decay black eyeliner in "Zero".  The colors in this palette include: Snatch (rosey pink with gold sparkles), Mildew (shimmering forest green), Flash (electric purple), Painkiller (shimmering aquamarine), Smog (golden bronze), and Toasted (copper). 

Champagne & Caviar Palette
This palette by NYX is my go to palette whenever applying my makeup because the palette consists of earth tone neutrals.  I use this palette even when using the Show Pony palette above.  I generally like to use the deep brown in this palette as my crease color no matter what color i've used as a base.  I found this palette at Ulta cosmetics and it was about nine dollars. This particular NYX palette is the champagne & caviar palette from the NYX runway collection.  Like the Show Pony palette, I have had this NYX palette for over a year and still remarkably have a lot of product left.  The two colors I use most are the white shadow and the dark brown shadow (these shadows do not have specific names). I use the white shadow for brow and cheek highlights while I use the deep brown as my crease color and sometimes for brown definition.  Very versatile palette.  I sometimes will apply lip gloss and then press some of the pink shadow pigments from either the Pink Pony or NYX palette onto the gloss to make a unique lip color.
