Make-up: Frugal Finds for Pricey Pursuits

There are many new products that are simply amazing and also mirror products that have a more expensive price tag!!! My goal is simple, to look amazing and spend very little to achieve this feat!

Below are just a couple of items I use daily. I will show the more pricey version and list the benefits of both!

Yves Saint Laurent -Rouge Pur Couture (glossy stain) $34.00
This product gives a very supple appearance to the lip and doesn’t look too made up!!! It’s a stain so it will have the lasting power need to face the day and not look back!!

L'Oreal Color Riche Caresse $9.99
This product is marketed just like its YSL rival and only costs a fraction if the price!
There is a wide variety of color to choose from!!! And with stains growing in popularity because of their effortlessness, you grab two and still spend less than you would for one YSL glossy stain!!!

MAC Paint Pots $18.50
These are pro long wear matte colored primer like eyelid colors that will amplify a bold look if desired. Their application is smooth and the come in an array of colors.

Maybelline Color Tattoo -Cream Gel Eyeshadow $4.97 (Wal-mart)
These are about one third of the cost of MAC Paint Pots and perform the same function!!! I currently have the color Tough as Taupe and it is amazing!!! I use it the make my purples, blues and oranges pop!!!

Trends 2013: Glitter Eyeliner Sephora Collection VS Urban Decay

Sephora Facts:
12 Sensational colors
$13
Duo liner/mascara wand
Longwear
Urban Decay Facts:
10 Awesome colors
$18
Eyeliner wand
Longwear

These two liners are the best in their category for color and staying power! Sephora collection has more colors and the price makes it incredibly hard to ignore! Urban Decay has fewer colors but the range in color makes choosing a perfect shade a little easier! The staying power of both products are parallel and the ease of use are as well! Either of these products would be a great addition to any makeup bag!

Product Review: MAC Candy Yum Yum

Candy Yum Yum

Candy Yum Yum is now a permanent fixture in the lipstick section at MAC! This color resurfaced early fall 2012 and has been very popular to say the least. It has an electric pink appearance that will surely turn heads. Incredibly alarming when it is first applied to your lips. Apply MAC’s Magenta lipliner all over lip then apply Candy Yum Yum. This trick tones down the color and maintains the matte lip texture.
