17 alternatives to Lime Crime’s Venus XL palette

Controversial beauty brand Lime Crime recently announced its Venus XL palette ($56, Ulta) — 18 eye shadow shades ranging from soft pastel pinks to rich glittery fuchsias, with fun neutrals in between.

The palette is pretty huge and totally for people who worship the color pink — but if you're not planning on dropping coins with Lime Crime because of the brand's controversial past, or because $56 is REALLY expensive, then here are a few cool palette alternatives.
