The Makeup Bag: Save Edition

July 27, 2016

As promised, this week’s makeup post is all about saving some money while still purchasing quality products (see last week's post here)! There are so many drugstore products that I love and even prefer over higher-end ones! Take mascaras for example: after purchasing a couple of mascaras at Sephora, I realized that they just weren’t worth the money and that I could find equal or better ones at my local drugstore! They best thing about the drugstore is that if you feel intrigued to try something out but don’t end up loving it you’re out maybe just  $10 to $15 at the most instead of $30 to $50! That’s a huge win in my book! I would say the drugstore product I end up testing out the most are lipsticks! I’m always on the hunt for my next favorite! Right now its the Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Colors as I’m sure you’ve noticed from my previous posts. What type of product are you constantly trying out from the drugstore?

Como les había prometido, esta semana el post de maquillaje es sobre comprar productos de calidad a precios más accesibles (vean el post de la semana pasada aquí)! Existen tantos productos en la farmacia que amo y, ¡hasta prefiero sobre algunos productos de más alta calidad! Toma por ejemplo la máscara: luego de comprar varias máscaras en Sephora me di cuenta de que no valían el dinero y que podría encontrar unas iguales o mejores en mi farmacia más cercana. Lo mejor de comprar productos en la farmacia es que si algo te intriga y quieres probarlo pero no termina gustandote solo haz perdido $10 a $15 máximo, ¡en vez de $30 a $50! Yo diría que de los productos que venden en la farmacia, el más que compro para probar son los lápiz labiales. ¡Siempre estoy en la búsqueda de mi nuevo favorito! Ahora mismo son los Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Colors, estoy segura de que lo han notado en mis posts previos. ¿Qué tipo de producto estas constantemente probando de la farmacia? 
TopLoreal Studio Secrets Magic Lumi Light Infusing Primer ($12.99)- This primer is amazing for adding some light to the high points of the face and makes any highlighter you put on top pop!; Loreal Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation ($12.99)- Love this for when I need a matte look to last all day! 
MiddleLoreal True Match Lumi Healthy Luminous Makeup ($12.99)Loreal True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation ($16.99)- Love paring this with the Magic Lumi Primer described before!
Bottom:Revlon PhotoReady Insta-Fix Makeup ($13.99)- I used to use the concealer on spots for a quick makeup look but I kept going through each concealer too fast! This gave me more product and would last longer!; Garnier BB Cream Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector ($12.99)- An old classic.

BottomLoreal Brow Stylist Definer ($8.99)- Great drugstore alternative for Anastasia's Brow Wiz (but I still prefer the brow wiz!); Milani Brow Fix Kit ($8.99)- This is the first brow product I bought! I love that it comes with a good brush, tweezers, and a highlight shade!
TopRimmel Natural Bronzer ($4.99)Rimmel Kate Sculpting and Highlighting Kit ($6.99)- I've been using this almost everyday since I got it!
