Affordable Beauty Products

Happy Memorial Day ladies!

Today I wanted to talk about some of my favorite and affordable beauty products.

Some of these are a little bit more expensive than others but still within a reasonable price range and in my opinion, totally worth it.

The first product I want to talk about is the Paul Mitchell Thicken Up Styling Liquid.  This is probably about $18.  It is a gel-like consistency that you put in your wet or damp hair.  For me it only works if I add it in wet or damp hair and then blow dry it when it's damp.  If you let this dry in your hair it doesn't work.  At least for me it doesn't.  Good stuff!

The next product is the Garnier Fructis De-Constructed Texture Tease.  I get this at my local Wal-Mart for about $4.  LOVE.  THIS.  STUFF.  I was getting so tired of curling my hair and then spraying hairspray in it because it was super stiff and just made my hair feel gross.  The way I use this is to curl my hair, let it cool and then spritz this throughout.  It gives it flexible hold while giving some texture and messiness.  This would also be great to spritz in hair before wearing your hair up to also give some hold and texture and something for bobby pins to latch on to.

The next is the Simple Micellar Cleansing Water.  This is about $6 at my local Wal-Mart.  I will definitely be using this product for years to come.  It is hard to explain what this actually is but I basically use this just at night right after I've washed my face and it makes my skin feel really fresh, clean and hydrated.  I apply a good amount with a round cotton pad.

The next product is the Maybelline Master Glaze in Just Pinched Pink.  LOOOOOOOOVVVVVEEE.  It is a cheek glaze that gives off the most beautiful, natural glow.  I am not kidding.  I do a swipe on each cheek and stipple/buff with the Elf Stipling Brush which is only $3 at Target or Wal-Mart.  You ALL have to go buy this.  It's amazing.  No joke.  Amazing.  Like, what are you doing still reading this???  Go get it now!

The next product is the Loreal Infallible Makeup Setting Spray.  This is a must for anybody who wears any makeup at all.  The reason is because you can do a whole drug store face but when you spray a few things of this on it will last you MUCH longer.  Urban Decay makes an All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray that I hear is extremely comparable to this.  The Urban Decay one is about $30 and this one is about $15 at Wal-Mart of Target.  A little pricier but I'm telling you it's worth it.  I have a huge problem with makeup lasting.  This has helped tremendously.

The next product is the ELF Baked Blush in Peachy Cheeky.  This is EXACTY like some blushes that MAC sells.  Except I believe the MAC version is about $25 and this is $3.  It is the most beautiful peach/pink color with a highlighter built in.  Not all ELF products are good but this is exceptional.  Let me say it again, EXCEPTIONAL.

The last product is the Maybelline The Nudes pallet.  I really like this! It is about $9 at Wal-Mart or Target and has the most beautiful shades of browns, neutrals, etc.  I would find this comparable to the Urban Decay Naked pallets.  But for a fifth of the price.
