5 under $5 - November

Hello Everyone!

 

November is quickly coming to an end and I am not complaining at all. Thanksgiving is next week and then Christmas will be here. It also means that I can take a break from school and being able to visit my brother and his family for the holidays. Anyways for this post I though I thought I would share with you a couple of very inexpensive products that I love to use.

 

5 under $5 - November

 

1. TRESemme Tres Two Ultra Fine Mist Hair Spray - I have used this hair spray for years and I absolutely love it. It works great to hold hair in place, but it does not leave your hair feeling stiff and gross. It dries very fast and is humidity resistant. I use this just about every day after I style of my hair it keeps my hair from getting frizzy.

 

Price: $3.98

 

2. Garnier Fructis Style Sleek & Shine Anti-Humidity Smoothing Milk - Again I have used this product for years and have not found anything that I like more than this. After I style my hair, I will take some of this into my hands and apply it all over. My hair looks so much more healthier and it doesn't get frizzy throughout the day.

 

Price: $3.47

 

3. Jordana INCOLOR Fabuliner Liquid Eyeliner (Black) - Jordana makes some amazing eyeliners and this one is one of my favorites. The color is so rich and dark and stays for a very long time. It is very easy to apply and the tip of the eyeliner isn't dry like some other felt-tip eyeliners.

 

Price: $1.99

 

4. Rimmel London Scandaleyes Shadow Stick (Bad Girl Bronze) - I love me some Rimmel. These shadow sticks make a great bases for other eyeshadows or look great on their own. For this dark color I will apply it all over my lid and blend it out onto my crease. They are creamy and very pigmented.

 

Price: $3.59

 

top: Black

bottom: Bad Girl Bronze

 

5. Carmex Moisturizing Lip Balm - I have talked about this many times before, but I just love this lip balm. It leaves my lips feeling incredibly soft and hydrated. I have tried many different lip balms, but you will always find one of these in my handbag.

 

Price: $2.74 (a pack of 3)

5 under $5 - October

Hello Everyone!

 

Recently I went on a bit of a drugstore haul picking up products I had never tried. Some of these are new and some not so new, but they still are amazing products.

 

5 under $5 - October

 

1. Covergirl Eye Enhancers 4-Kit Shadows (260 Coffee Shop): I have really been loving this little palette for the Fall. The colors are very warm and work great together. These are not chalky and very pigmented. Having one of these is great since you have all that you need for an eye look. I use the white under the brow bone and inner corners to brighten my eyes. I then apply the gold shade all over my lid and the bronze color in the crease. Lastly, I apply the dark brown in the outer crease to make a lightly smokey look.

 

Price: $4.84

 

2. Wet n Wild Color Icon Blusher (Berry Shimmer): I know talk about this product alot, but I just really love it. The color is a beautiful color for Fall. It is extremely pigmented so a light touch is required for these. Like the name implies it is a shimmery blush, but not a strong shimmer.

 

Price: $2.99

 

3. Rimmel London Stay Glossy Lip Gloss (Captivate Me!): There is nothing worse than a sticky lip gloss. I am in love with these Stay Glossy lip glosses. They aren't sticky (obviously) and they last a long amount of time. The best thing is that they don't dry out the lips once they fade. This color has shimmer in it, but there are 18 available shades to choose from so you are bound to find one that you love.

 

Price: $3.99

 

4. e.l.f. Eyelid Primer - Most of the time I will use a cream eyeshadow base, but when I don't I love using this primer. It dries to a matte finish which is great if you have oily eyelids. It has a slight tint which is good if you have darker eyelids or visible veins like I do. This helps to make my eyeshadow last longer and prevents creasing.

 

Price: $1.00

 

5. Rimmel London Scandaleyes Long Wear Waterproof Eyeliner (Black) - I love liquid eyeliner, but sometimes I don't have to patience or time to attempt to put it on. I highly recommend this eyeliner to anyone. It is so creamy and pigmented that it gives an almost liquid eyeliner look. It does not tug on the eyelid and can be blended out for a more natural look. If you have not tried this, then you are surly missing out!

 

Price: $3.97

5 under $5 - September

Hello Everyone!

 

As you might have noticed by now, I am a huge drugstore makeup fan. In the past couple of years drugstore brands have really stepped up their game with their products, giving higher-end products a run for their money. You might be surprised at some of the amazing products that you can get for a little amount of money.

 

Since I am always buying drugstore makeup to try, I figured I would do the 5 products under 5 dollars once a month. New products are constantly being released and this is a great way for me to show you some of my favorites.

 

September 5 under $5 Favorites

Wet n Wild Eyeshadow Trio - Enlisting for Beauty

 

Shocker to see a neutral palette I know haha! I have been completely loving Enlisting for Beauty this month. This is part of the new Tough Girl collection from Wet n Wild. Now for most trios I wouldn't use all the colors together since they wouldn't look very nice, however I love using all of these colors together. Wet n Wild eyeshadows have some amazing eyeshadows. They are really pigmented and are not chalky what so ever. They are just a great quality for a great price. This trio is available at Walgreens for $2.99, but I picked it up on sale for just $2. These are simply a bargain that you should definitely give a try.

 

Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain - Cranberry Crush

 

I won't go into so much detail since I have already done a review here, but I will say that this particular color is great for Fall. This is the color Cranberry Crush. The darker colors of this collection tend to stain the lips a bit more than the lighter colors, which is similar for most balm stains. This is available at Walgreens for $2.99.

Rimmel London Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder - Transparent

 

This product may not be a surprise to you since it has been mentioned pretty much everywhere, but it is simply a great product. The Stay Matte powder is available in a selection of shades, but I much prefer to get the Transparent one. This is a great product to just throw in your makeup bag or handbag and take on the go. It is the perfect touch up powder to help eliminate shine. This is available at most drugstores for $3.97. 

NYX Blush - Mocha

 

Oh my goodness you guys, NYX is available at Target! I couldn't believe my dark brown eyes when I first saw the brand at the store and I almost had a heart attack. I may have went a little wild, but the closest store next to me that sold NYX was over an hour away from where I live so I was really excited. Anyways, this is one of their blushes in Mocha. It is a matte pinky, neutral color and is beautiful for everyday use regardless of the season. This is available at Target for $4.99.

NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder - Sunny

 

This is another product that has been well talked about in the beauty community. It is a matte bronzer which is very difficult to find in the drugstore and anywhere in general. It gives you the perfect glow and doesn't go overboard with bronzing. By just sweeping this on the temples and cheeks it really completes a look and adds definition to your face. This is available in most drugstores for $3.49.

Top 3 (very top color is very similar to my skin tone sorry!): Enlisting for Beauty

4th: Cranberry Crush

5th: Mocha

6th: Sunny

Powder was transparent so I couldn't really take a picture of that haha!
