Rimmel Natural Bronzer: Under $5
Who isn't always looking for a bronzer? Call me crazy, but I refuse to spend alot of money on one. It's not one of those really fun makeup products that you like to play with, but it has a great purpose. To make us all have a beautiful bronzie glow!! I found the Rimmel today..I didn't want to spend alot and was looking for one without shimmer. I bought the natural bronzer in sun bronze nice shade not the lightest one, but just above that has a great color! Check it out!!

Maybelline Falsies Mascara: $5
I think this could be one of the best mascara's out there!! I am absolutely hooked on it.

It's around $5 which you can't beat that, and I love it! Try it out!!

Wet & Wild Lipstick
Wet & Wild Lipstick $0.99
I use to pick up Wet & Wild lipsticks years ago when I needed a specific color for Halloween, and didn't want to spend a lot of money. I didn't like them they had a weird smell and taste to them. I didn't really care for them. I recently re-visited these cheaper lipsticks...why not? For .99 you can't really go wrong. I was shocked when I picked one up...I really liked it! They must have changed the formulation of them. A little limited my the color selection, but not bad. Since, I am a professional makeup artist these are perfect for your kit. I have probably picked up every color they had and put them in my own palette for my kit. They are perfect! Next time you pass by a stand check them out!

Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Liner
Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Liner $3.00
I discovered this lip liner a few years ago, and absolutely love them! You can't beat them for being under $3.00. They really do last, they last longer than most lip liners. The only downfall to them is that you are limited by the colors. Two of my favorite colors are Natural a perfect nude, and Tiramisu. You guys gotta try them!

Hard Candy Cream Shadow Stick
Purchased Product: Hard Candy Cream Shadow Stick $6.00
Compared Product: MAC Greasepaint Stick $16.00
I picked up this stick on a shopping trip at wal-mart. I was a little skeptical because it being a creamy product. I wrote before I have a love-hate relationship with creamier products on my eye. I picked up the shade that was close to robin's egg blue. The stick is very creamy and a little tacky, so I was a little skepitical about how it was going to wear. I put the stick all over my eye and set it with a little shadow of the same color. I would recommend using a synthetic brush to apply it and not directly out of the stick. You can control how much you put on. I was very surprised that it lasted!!! Very minimal creasing, but for the most part lasted until I took it off at night. I'm excited! I'm going to buy some other colors and give them a try!!

HardCandy Eyeshadow (Sold at Walmart) $6.00
Hard Candy Eyeshadow at Walmart $6.00
I was excited to see this product at Walmart. I wasn't quite sure what had happened to it because it was pulled out of department stores. I used the eyeshadow when it was at department stores and really like it had great pigments. When I found it at Walmart one day I was glad to see it,so I pick a pack of the shadow up. I was very disappointed after I used it because it didn't have as much pigment as it use to:( The colors were alot sheerer and hardly no pigment. The colors weren't true to color either. Disappointing. They have a few other products I may try to keep a little hope alive that maybe the brand is the same.

Jergens Natural Glow Foam
Purchased Product: Jergans Natural Glow Foam $9.00
I keep seeing the Jergens Natural glow line on T.V. of this beautifully tanned woman. Well, I had to give it a shot. It so Tan-talizing on T.V. Today is the second day in a row that I have tried it. So, far so good. It doesn't offer that much color because it is suppose to be a tanner and moisturizer together which is good for a beginner using a self-tanner. Note to self a little foam goes along way! The product seems to spread evenly and it absorbs pretty fast without leaving you sticky. I don't necessarily feel moisturized with it, but I don't think it's suppose a heavy duty moisturizer. The color the first day was very light..I will see if it darkens up a little more today. I would recommend it for someone who is beginning with a self-tanner or who wants to do something gradual. If you want immediate color I would recommend a regular self tanner. A great one to try is Bath&Body Works tinted self tanner. Gives you immediate color and is around $15.00..Not too bad. I'll keep experimenting to find the perfect product that makes me look Tan-alizing!!

E.L.F Cosmetics
$1.00-$3.00
I was really skeptical about this cosmetic brand..one being that majority of the products are $1.00. I started ordering quite a few pieces online and found out that I really like them. I mean for $1.00 you can't really go wrong! Some of the products I really like: Liquid lipstick,Hypershine lip shine,smoothing concealer, a few of the brushes are pretty decent as well. Another thing I found I know it's hard to look at colors online,but I did find that they sell it at a few target stores, so you can see it in person! Check it out and with majority of the products under $3.00 you can't beat it!!!

LASHES*LASHES*LASHES
Purchased Product: Demi Wispies Lashes Ardell $4.00
Compared Product: MAC #4,#36 Lashes $13.00
Ok, this was a complete surprise when I bought these lashes. I bought them in a pinch and being a sort of lash snob and primarily only wearing MAC's eyelashes I didn't think I would like these. It turns out that I LOVE THEM!! They are the best and you cannot beat the price at all!!! A nice semi-natural lash adds alot of fullness without being too much. I would compare these lashes to MAC's #4's or #36's which are my good ole stand by's when I want to spend a little extra money. Definitely try these out! They are beautiful on!!

N.Y.C Extreme Lip Glider Lip Gloss
Purchased Product: N.Y.C. Extreme Lip Glider Lip Gloss $3.50
Compared To: MAC LipGlass $14.00
I had high hopes for this product. Thinking if this was a really great lip gloss I could save a ton of money. Working for MAC so long I am pretty much addicted to lip glass. I like everything about it the taste, the feeling, colors. I am always on a quest to find something that compares. This N.Y.C lip gloss has really nice colors, but kind of misleading. I bought the color Carnegie Melon a nice peachy pink color. Put it on my lips and was like "is that it". Very pale on compared to what it looked like in the tube. Kind of a disappointment. The feeling of it is ok, but I prefer something with alittle more substance. The flavor is good a little fruity. Would I recommend it..probably not. I'm going to stick to lipglass for now until I find something new.

Cover Girl Smoky Shadow Blast
Purchased Product:Cover Girl Smoky Shadow Blast $8.00
Compared Product: MAC Shadesticks $20.00
I have a love hate relationship with creamy eyeshadow products. I want to love them so much, but sometimes can't stand them once I have them on my eye and wear them. I have all of a sudden got on a kick of wanting a creamy eyeshadow stick. Maybe because I see Drew Barrymore wearing the covergirl shadow blast on t.v...it makes me want it. I picked it up today in my travels. So, far I like it. If it is good enough for Drew it can be good enough for me. I tried it out so far I am digging it, but like I said I can hate it in a day. I will keep you posted on how I really like this product. So, far you can't beat the price compared to MAC. I will see how it holds up during the day.

N.Y.C Liquid Eyeliner
Purchased Product: N.Y.C Liquid Eyeliner $2.00
Compared to:Urban Decay Oil Slick Liquid Eyeliner $20.00
This product costs roughly under $2.00. How can you beat this? I picked it up today at Target. Me being a liquid liner fanatic I decided to try it. I actually really like it! I bought the pearlized black nice color kind of like a dark smokey gray with flecks of silver in it. The brush is nice thin with a pointy tip, so you can get a nice wing on the outer edge of the eye. I would recommend it for the price.
