Beauty on a Budget

As much as we always want to buy that $40 foundation we see at Sephora we cant always bring ourselves to spend that much when we know there is a foundation at Target that will work just as good (maybe even better) Especially for us college students, beauty on a budget can be a struggle sometimes, but glorious when we find a product that can match that expensive one we have been eye balling forever.

So here are my favorite affordable drugstore products that I just cant get enough of!

When I did my everyday makeup blog I was using the Sephora brand foundation but since I finished that I switched to the CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous foundation. Its super lightweight but build-able. However, it might say shine free, but I still find myself being oily after a while of wearing it. But then again, that's with any foundation that I wear. I got mine from Target but CoverGirl products can be found anywhere.

My next product is also by CoverGirl. Its their Clean concealer and this is probably the best concealer that I have ever had, including high end ones. I like that it comes in a tube and has an applicator like a lip gloss which makes everything a lot easier for me. Totally recommend this one!

So enough with CoverGirl, and on with Revlon. Right now I am using the Lash Potion mascara and the formula is great and makes my eyelashes look better than any other drugstore mascara I have used. Im pretty sure I only paid $5 for it, so you cant go wrong with that!

Last, to clean all of that off my face at the end of the day, I use the Ponds makeup remover wipes and these not only smell good but they seriously get ALL of my makeup off. Eyeliner, mascara, EVERYTHING. I cannot live without these bad boys. Go get you some!




Let me know what drugstore products you all are loving at the moment!

First Glam Bag REVIEW.

I finally jumped on the Glam Bag bandwagon and just got my first bag in the mail last week. I guess it wasn't much a surprise when I received it because I already knew what was going to be in my bag cause I took a little sneak peek on the Ipsy website.

Anyways, for those of you that don't know Ipsy is a subscription service that brings you a bag full of beauty goodies once a month. 

Sometimes you get full size products or just samples but its all still worth it cause most of the time it always equals to more than what you pay a month and who doesn't like getting new products every month?!

So, here's a little preview as to what I got in my October bag:

• Albertini Warm Love Pumpkin exfoliating mask
• Figs & Rouge hand cream
• Indie Lee Brightening cleanser
• Skone Cosmetics Tattooed eyeliner
• Starlooks lip-gloss

For my first bag I have to say I wish I didn't get two facial products but the Pumpkin mask smells delish, only because the smell of pumpkin is one of my favorites. 
The lip-gloss is a really good nude color too, I think good for all skin tones. 
Hand cream is super light, smells sooo good, and doesn't leave my hands feeling greasy.
The eyeliner is a little rough but I am able to work with it.
And I can honestly do without the Brightening cleaner.

 Other than that I have to say I am super excited to receive future bags and review them on my blog so stay tuned for more of these!

I recommend Ipsy to all my makeup and beauty lovers out there, its like a present to yourself every month guys!

Life Update/ New Posting Schedule

Heyyy my little beauties!

Sorry I've been MIA and haven't been keeping up with my blog like I should of been. 

But long story short, after my last post I went on a little summer vacation with my girls to San Antonio and Austin to end the summer then when we came back, school started the very next day. So school has been back in session for 5 weeks now and I had just been trying to focus into getting back into the swing of things. But now that I am back on schedule I am officially gonna start blogging again. I really missed it. Trying to juggle school, a job, and an internship is not exactly the easiest sooo I have decided I want to have a set posting schedule so it makes it easy for me and you guys know when to expect a new post! So every Wednesday be expecting some new material from me! Makeup, fall fashion, my current favorites, all that good stuff you guys look forward to. 

Hope everyone is having a great fall semester and can you guys believe its October now?! Time is just flying by its crazy. But for all my students out there keep up the work and don't loose focus! 

And I will be seeing you guys again next Wednesdaaaay :) 

Stay Fab,
