I would love to be able to spend thousands of dollars in Sephora or Ulta! If someone wants to make that happen for me, I would love them forever! But unfortunately, my budget doesn't stretch far enough to be able to buy all my products from designer brands.
I will admit that I have one product in my current beauty routine that was a splurge.
NARS Bronzer in "Laguna"
This is a great bronzer. I'd read about it from a few of my favorite bloggers. But it's also $39 (insert horrified expression here). While, I think it's a great product, I won't rebut it simply because I know there are cheaper options out there. In fact, I recently read that a cheap dupe for this product would be the E.L.F bronzer in "St. Lucia".
E.L.F Bronzer in "St. Lucia"
I have yet to try this myself, but I plan to when I run out of the NARS bronzer.
Speaking of E.L.F products, my favorite primer is one of their $6 steals! I paid $13.99 for the Revlon "Photo Ready Perfecting Primer" and thought that it was just fine. But when it was time to purchase it again, Target was out. Such a bummer. Until I came across the E.L.F "Mineral Face Primer" and thought I would give it a go. Best. Decision. Ever. It's silky smooth without being oily, makes my make-up go on so smooth, and did I mention its only $6!? I'm telling you, its a must try!
E.L.F "Mineral Face Primer"
Being on a budget doesn't mean you have to give up beauty products. Trust me, you can get a great finished look with drug store products. Below are my current go to items! All of them (except for the bronzer) are from Target or Ulta and can be purchased for less than $15.
Revlon Colorstay Foundation/Sonia Kashuk Radient Tinted Moisturizer/E.L.F Mineral Face Primer/Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner/Maybelline Age Rewind/NARS Bronzer/Sonia Kashuk Blush/L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara/ULTA Complete Eye (A freebee from Ulta for my birthday!)
Remember, you can be frugal while still being fun and fabulous!
