Many places have already started school or will in the upcoming weeks, so I wanted to do a budget friendly beauty post. This is post is for everyone---students, teachers, on-the-go mom's, etc.
I wanted to incorporate items that are not only inexpensive, but also products that are easily accessible and great quality.
On to the goodies! Enjoy!
Foundation | CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation
Price: $9.49
Shade Selection: 14 Shades
I chose this particular foundation because it has a built in primer, giving it longer lasting power. I also like the coverage and the longevity of it.
Powder | Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder
Price: $2.99-$3.99
Shade Selection: 7 Shades
This powder does not give a whole lot of coverage, however, it does a good job at keeping me shine free.
Concealer | CoverGirl+Olay Concealer Balm
Price: $7.99
Shade Selection: 6 Shades
I love this concealer because it's really hydrating, gives great coverage, and really smooth.
Blush | Wet'nWild Color Icon Blush
Price: $2.99
Shade Selection: 4 Shades
The pigmentation of this blushes is unbelievable, definitely use a light hand when applying. There is a small shade selection, but you can find both matte and shimmery blushes.
Bronzer | NYC Smooth Skin Bronzer in Sunny
Price: $2.99
I believe this is probably the only matte bronzer that can be found in drugstores, let me know if I'm wrong.
I really like this, it works well with my fair skin, and it doesn't look muddy at all.
Eyeshadows | Wet'nWild Color Icon Eyeshadows
Price: $2.99-$4.99
Shade Selection: There are a variety of trios and 8 pan palettes.
I can not rave enough about these shadows, they are highly pigmented! They do have a little bit of fall out, but nothing major, just dust your brush before applying.
Eyeliner | ELF Waterproof Eyeliner Pen
Price: $2
Shade Selection: 8 Shades
This is a great liquid liner, it has a great tip, that is not flimsy. Great color payoff.
Mascara | CoverGirl Lash Blast
Price: $7.99
Shade Selection: 4 Shades
This mascara lengthens and volumizes, I've been using this mascara for years!!
Lips | Revlon Lip Butter
Price: $6-$7
Shade Selection: 24 Shades
These are very moisturizing, they act as a lip balm and a lipstick. They can be built up for more color payoff or worn sheer.
Eyebrows | ELF Eyebrow Kit
Price: $3
Shade Selection: 4 Shades
This kit includes a tinted wax and a powder. You can use the wax alone, the powder alone, or use the wax and set your brows with the powder. Great little kit.
There you have it, a list of great products that can be found at your local drugstores, Target, or Walmart.
I hope you have found this post helpful and maybe found some new items to purchase next time you're out shopping.
What budget friendly items do you love/recommend??
Until next time my loves!!
