My top 5 Travel Size Eye Shadow Kit at Sephora under 50$

“The most beautiful thing a woman can wear is confidence”

And the second beautiful thing a woman can wear is eye shadow. Well it was Sephora annual sale season and holding a VIB rouge status I could not wait to shop and take advantage of 20% discount. So I did. .

But when I was pre-planning my next vacation to Cuba (YAY!!) I found out its difficult to carry those full size eye shadow palettes which I have. Even if I carry the full size I want other palettes too to carry in my handbag anytime I am out on tour. So I researched and decided to write this article where you can buy these awesome travel size palettes and because the summer coming it’s also easy to carry in your purse and quickly do touch ups. The best thing is these palettes are under 50$. Now that’s a steal!!

So let’s start the countdown of My top 5 Travel Size Eye Shadow Kit at Sephora under 50$.

    oooh! i have benefit’s most glamorous nude palette that I use every day, but the kat von d palette, tarte palette, and the smash box palettes looks beautiful! we’re not going anywhere this summer, and I don’t wear much make up anyway so I always get the travel kits. these are os beautiful. I also love how kat von d is basically hypoallergenic without all the gross chemicals but doesn’t skimp on coverage and intensity of color.
