Beauty on a Budget...All Under $14!!

I’m very excited to share with you 10 of my beauty on a budget favs!  All of these products can be found at Target and all are under $14.  Please feel free to comment with your favorite beauty on a budget favs!

 (1) Maybelline’s Baby Lips ($2.99): The bright graffiti-style packaging is just retro enough to make you reminisce about the days when lip gloss was all you were allowed to wear.  They come in 6 different shades and roll on like butta!  I’m currently using “Quenched” which gives you a subtle clear shine and baby soft lips. 

(2) e.l.f. Studio Makeup Mist & Set ($3.00) :  This is a line at Target that I encourage everyone to try out…with products at $2-3, what do you have to lose?  It’s a refreshing mist that sets your make-up for the day.  There is no smell, it won’t disturb your applied make-up and no residue or dried feeling left on your skin.  It really does make your make-up last longer and I’ve found when I use this product my skin is less oily throughout the day.  I don’t wear foundation but love the results when using this product just with powder & blush.  This is a great beauty secret for special events.

(3) Johnson’s Shea & Cocoa Butter Baby Creamy Oil ($3.64):  You would think a product with the word “oil” in the name would be just that…oily and greasy.  Neither is the case.  This rich lotion leaves your skin feeling replenished, smooth, silky and smelling of warm cocoa butter. 

(4) Physicians Formula pH Matchmaker pH Powered Blush ($12.95): I have been a dedicated user of Nars blush for years.  Yes, it’s a great blush that seems to flatter all skin types.  But it’s also $28.  I’ve found one that I love this one just as much for ½ the price.  This product claims to have Fluorescein-based dye that senses the pH level of your skin & adjusts within 60 seconds to create your perfect glow.   Couple this with it coming with a great brush, compartment to store the brush and a light-up compact and it’s well worth the heartfelt farewell to Nars.   

(5) Organix Ever Straight Brazilian Keratin Therapy Conditioner ($7.99):  I have yet to find a shampoo or conditioner that I use on a constant basis but this is definitely one worth throwing into the rotation.  I absolutely love the smell…especially this time of year…and while I don’t see a drastic difference in the texture or appearance of my hair, it does make for much easier blow drying, styling, etc.

(6) GermX Totally Tangerine Germ Blaster ($0.97): I don’t go anywhere or touch anything without some hand sanitizer.  There are a million varieties on the market and all seem to be the same.  And maybe they are.  But I am in love with this one because of the price (for the quantity) and the light fragrance that is refreshing but doesn’t interfere with any other scent you’re wearing.  I’m trying to sanitize my hands, not spray them with perfume!   You can find it in the travel section at Target.

(7) Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets ($4.49): An oily/combination skinned- girl’s best friend.  I have tried many varieties including rice paper but I always come back to this one.  It effectively blots away the oil without disturbing your make-up.

(8) Batiste Dry Shampoo ($7.99)—Comes in Original, Refresh, Blush & Brit (also available in Blonde & Brunette).  I have tried Original, Refresh, Blush and Blonde and would recommend all but Blush which has a bit too strong of a rose scent for my taste. 

 (9) L’Oreal HiP Studio Secrets Professional Metallic Shadow Duo in Electrified ($7.14): Rarely do I wear eye shadow but when I do, this is one of the few I opt for.  Every time I wear it I get asked if it’s MAC. 

(10) Scrunci No Slip Grip hairbands ($2.99): These work great for my thick hair and never pull any hair out when I remove.

Thanks for following!
