We all wish for expensive things sometimes. Even if our guts tell us that a $600 bag is overpriced and overrated, a tiny part of us remains infatuated with the designer label and glamor that seems to come with buying it. Well, for the majority of us who don't have the cash to spare for a pair of Christian Louboutin heels, why not buy some designer makeup? From the countless times I've spent at Sephora with my friends, I've come to realize that designer makeup really IS more long-lasting and bolder than the kind you get at the drugstore. Of course, my makeup drawer is filled with cosmetics I've bought at CVS, but if you DO have a yearning to splurge on a name-brand, I'd suggest buying Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow, which costs $58 (see title link). My personal favorite shade is Smoky Design. Although the price is steep and definitely eyebrow-raising for a piece of makeup, it is more manageable than a pair of Ray-Bans. According to the Sephora website, each quintet contains a "creamy blendable base, versatile iridescent shadow, satiny contouring eyeshadow, shimmering highlighter, and sultry matte eyeliner," along with a cheat-sheet filled with technical tips from Dior's best makeup artists. The 5 shades included in this particular variety are dark grey, sheer glittering silver, gunmetal grey, white shimmer, and matte black cream.
