Sonia Kashuk's Powder Partners Eye Shadow Duo.

We are hard at work behind the scenes here at The Pink Mixer, doing our best to recreate that Neiman Marcus makeover that we mentioned getting last week. Of course, the catch is, we want to do it again – we want to do it right - but on the cheap.

We spent a good part (longer than we’d like to admit actually) of a recent rainy Saturday browsing the beauty isles of Target. During our make over, the stylist at Neiman Marcus had added a purple Laura Mercier eye shadow, a look we ended up liking much more than we’d initially thought we would.

Of course, buying that Laura Mercier eye shadow would have meant shelling out another $22. So instead, dollar signs in mind, we opted for giving the $7 option - Sonia Kashuk’s Powder Partners Eye Shadow Duo a try.

So far so good on this one. We still add the (pricey) crème eye colour we referenced here earlier and then we dab a bit of the shadow on top. (Our personal color pick was Secret Admirer, but there are many options in your nearest Target for a gal to choose from.) The color goes on smoothly with an eye brush – we stayed away from those foam applicators – and it lasts for the majority of the day.

And we saved $15, which is a total feather in our cap. Or, at least $15 that can go toward another item at Target. Seriously. Have you seen their shoe collection lately?
