Go big or go home with palettes from Sephora, Avon and Quo!

You know how they say less is more and good things come in small packages? Well sometimes it's not and they don't - this is all about how more is more and great things come in super big packages!

Just keep in mind that not all giant palettes are created equal -  there are some giant palettes that you get around this time of year - you know the ones that seem like an incredibly good deal where you get 100 colours for $20? That's because they're crap - chalky colours, gummy lipstick and a big, fat waste of 20 bucks - so save your money for something with fabulous pigmentation and impressive staying power like:

Sephora Color Daze Blockbuster - $49.50 - from a small cube, this palette expands to this monster, spewing forth 64 waterproof eye shadows, 12 longwear cream eyeliners, 6 eye top coats, 6 lip top coats, 48 lip glosses, 3 blushes, 6 multi-purpose creams for eyes, cheeks, and lips, 3 multi-purpose luminizers, 3 makeup brushes and a mirror.

Available at Sephora and sephora.ca.

Avon Ultimate Mega Palette - $34.99 - everything you need from day to night but still compact enough to travel with - includes 36 eyeshadows, 36 lip glosses, 6 blushes, 3 makeup brushes and a mirror. All boxed up and ready to gift!
