The Muse’s Gift Guide: 20 Palettes for $20 or Under
I love gift cards.
Gift cards for holidays, birthdays, special occasions, I don’t care whatever it is I love ’em. I like giving gift cards alot.
Ok, go on, you can say it. OMG Muse you impersonal biatch! But listen….my sister is the type of person that freaking has everything and alot of my friend’s are like that too. It’s really difficult settling on a gift for people like that so gift cards are so awesome. I really like the idea of giving someone a little extra cash to spend at their favorite store, it’s a rather great thing for the receiver in my humblest.
Now to some extent I agree they are kinda impersonal which is why I always try to spice up the gift card with a small gift or little goodies to make up for the impersonal aspect of the card itself.
Here are 20 GREAT palette ideas that are $20 and under which would be great to stuff in a stocking, give as a small gift to people, or to accompany with a gift card.
Jump!

In my humblest nobody does drugstore cosmetics like Milani. There Runway Eye Palettes are $8.99 or less in some cases and a perfect little stocking stuffer.

This palette is an ideal one for those just starting out in makeup or even the advanced user who likes a natural, fresh look.
mark Flip For It Face Palette ($20)
Can’t thing of many tweens or adults for that matter who wouldn’t dig on a mark Flip It Palette. These contain all the basics for eyes, cheeks, and face.

Available from QVC, Item Number A178983.
Stila Record A Message Palette ($20)
I brought about five or six of these last year, hit record, went into the shower, sung a quickie Christmas jingle, and gave them to friends, no joke, true story.
Bella Beauty Bella in Bloom Eye Shadow Palettes ($13)
Available from QVC, Item Number A178981 in three shade selections. Looks like a great cheap dupe for the new Too Faced Holiday Palette and heaps cheaper!
Urban Decay Get Baked Eyeshadow Palette ($18.99)
Marked down at Ulta, it may be a Summery look but who wouldn’t want Urban Decay for a gift?
Ulta Gift of Color Mini Gift Set ($14.99)
Trying to keep it real with the Ulta sets as I’m not a fan but I give them props as some sets are looking nice!
NYX Smokey Look Kit ($8.99)
Likey NYX, ’nuff said.
Ulta Glitterati Palette Gift Set ($14.99)
I like this alot actually.� Again, I’m� not really a fan of these all in one cheapie palettes but this looks very nice.
Bella il Fiore “Bella’s Powder Room” Makeup Boudoir ($17.99)
Too Faced Glamour to Go III ($19.50)
All in one face kit with gorgeous shades of shadow, lip colors, and blush!
Pop Bronze Face Palette ($14)
The shades in this are festive enough to pull off for the holidays in my humblest and the price can’t be beat!
Hopefully some of these will appeal as a friendly little gift or as I said above to tuck in with a gift card of some sort. Some aren’t the best choices in my humblest as I’m not sure on quality, such as the Ulta palettes, but for $20 bucks and under it’s worthy of a try out for a stocking stuffer or a Secret Santa.
Happy Hauling!
Tell me your fav palette finds $20 or under!
