Do you notice any differences (on average) between more affordable and more expensive blushes?
Yes, I feel like drugstore brands still are behind when it comes to producing high-performing color makeup, including blushes, bronzers, etc. They are getting better, but it feels like a very slow process. If you go indie, you can find some better and more affordable blushes, but as far as what...

Coloured Raine Botanical 6-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($16.00 for 0.32 oz.) contained three matte eyeshadows and three shimmer eyeshadows. I felt like these were some of the easier-to-use shimmers that Coloured Raine included in their more recent six-pan releases, as they were...
