The perfect neutral eyeshadow palette

Wet n Wild is one of my very favorite cosmetic brands—is anyone else with me? And it's not just because their products are so awesomely inexpensive: The makeup is excellent quality, particularly the eye shadows (both powder and cream) and any of their several face-luminizing products. Right now I’m into the Ultimate Expressions Eyeshadow Palette in Sand Castle, which is a set of 8 incredible neutrals—they're sort of all you need, right? So fantastic for day, obviously, but night-time too: lately I’ve been doing a chocolate-y, dark brown smoky eye instead of my usual black (speaking of which, this $4 liner from last week would complete the look perfectly, no?).
