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!!!

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!!!

Product Review: Vitamin C Brightening Serum

Peter Thomas Roth: Vitamin C Brightening Serum

This product claims to:
*improve college
*brighten
*smooth
*firm
*revitalize
*improves the appearance of fine lines, skin tone and wrinkles

The amazonian Camu Camu berry has 30 times the vitamin C of an orange. This highly concentrated vitamin C has superior absorption properties due to its low molecular weight allowing it to better penetrate the skin, help boost collagen production, brighten, smooth, firm, and improve the appearance of uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles. Powerful antioxidant Camu Camu with vitamins A, D & E also helps revitalize the look of skin while helping to fight free radical attack.

Personal Testimony

This product has made my combination skin feel more soft and supple. My skin also appears more even. The serum is very thin and absorbs into the skin very quickly. It is more pricey than most serums that I had tested but its worth it!!! I saw results within two weeks!
