Beauty on a Budget

When I began to look into makeup beyond eye shadow and lip gloss, I did not want to spend a ton of money on things I did not know how to use. I began with the lower end and drugstore products I still use to this day. As the years went on and I perfected my craft, I moved on to high-end popular brands such as MAC, Lancome, Bobbi Brown, Urban Decay, Becca, and so on. This blog will showcase a few brands to help get started with a daily or nightly makeup routine and not break the bank.

My makeup journey began with ELF(Eyes, Lips, and Face) their prices start at $1 and go up

Coastal Scents has $1.95 hotpots or pan eye shadows and good quality brushes starting at $2.49

BH Cosmetics is known for their brushes and pigmented eye shadow palettes for less

Shany Cosmetics-I have both of the products below. The eye shadow palette was only $17.99 and the brushes were purchased while on sale. You receive free shipping for orders over $50.

NYX-one of my favorites. They have good quality products at a great price. I own all the items pictured below and I love them all, especially the butter lip gloss. My favorite lip gloss thus far. I purchase my NYX products from Ulta because they are usually buy one get one 50% off and I always have a coupon. They can also be purchased online, Target, and I have seen them in beauty supply stores as well.

Some of the drugstore brands I wear include Maybelline, Covergirl Queen, Black Opal, Black Radiance, Milani, Jordana, and L.A. Girl. These products can be found in your local drugstores such as Walgreens, CVS, and Rite Aid. These items can also be found in local retailers such as Wal Mart and Target.
