Beauty on a Budget

Let's face the facts. We all can't afford to shell out $50.00 for that Naked 2 Eyeshadow Palette, or $20-$30 on a MAC eyeshadow brush. Although they are nice treats to work towards, for those of us who use makeup on a day to day basis, it just isn't feasible. We all know that you get what you pay for, but what if I could tell you there are products out there that have great payoff on your face, and are kinder to your wallet than those large beauty brands found at your local Ulta or Sephora?

With today's economy failing, and gas prices rising even before we can blink, it's important to explore your options. Drugstore makeup can offer a great color payoff, and save a few of those extra dollars to put towards your tank, but there are other alternatives for shopping if you're willing to wait a few days. The following is a short sample list of products that can be found at your local drugstores (NYX can be found at Ulta if it is not sold in your drugstore.) that offer great color payoff and longevity, and the comparison price from my favorite discounted makeup website:

(BeautyJoint refers to the website, www.beautyjoint.com.)

Retail: $4.00
BeautyJoint: $2.50

NYX Single Eye Shadows

Those are just a few comparisons, out of many, from one website. A simple Google search can bring up loads of websites for discounted makeup. All it takes is a bit of research and you'll be saving money on your favorite products in no time.
