Budget Friendly Makeup

[chanelnumber5]

thank you Erin and Candy Couture for the advice on Mabelline i will go shopping and have a look and see which one looks best!

Look for Loreal shadows, i find them to be pretty goo, specially the holographic shadows thar are lovely!
Loreal has also recently launched a new line called HIP that is Hyper pigmented makeup, can´t wait to try it!!!

Bourjois shadows are also quite nice and have a huge range of colours


As for bronzer i read it in style.com, that the Wet´n´wild bronzer is actually one of the best!
Never tried it though as it isn´t available here...

I agree, i love l'oreal shadows, and their mascara is great! I really want to try HIP, i've seent the colours and they are great, comparable to MAC!

The shipping in the Nyx site is a bit too high, which in the end will prob cost me as much as buying Mac
...and the packet would end up in customs too...so more money to be added to that!

In the end, for 4 eyeshadows and a loose pearl powder, i would end up paying about $55...

Oh no!! I think you could try ebay, there are prob some sellers who sell nyx and will prob ship internationally!

Drugstore brands I like are:

- Maybelline
- Rimmel
- Bonne Bell (lips only)

I liked CoverGirl before they changed everything and got rid of their pencil eyeshadow/eyeliners and skinny lipsticks.

I have mentioned ELF products here before, but wanted to give special mention to the mascara. It is probably the best mascara I have ever used!!

 

[Erin]

^ I'm still upset their products aren't in Chicagoland Targets! I always look when I go into one, but never see their cosmetics in-store.

I jsut got a loreal blush delice in front page peach. It was like $9 which is a bit much for a drugstore blush but the pan is HUGE! And the color is sooo gorgeous... like nars orgasm I think

 

[FrockRadar8]

Elf is decent, their concealers are too sheer, 6 layers and it looks like you didn't put it on.

I love Maybelline Full n' Soft mascara. 99% of the time I don't have to go back through my lashes w/ a comb. Covergirl smoothers concealer also works very well and is about $4 C for a stick.

Have anyone tested this lipgloss from L'Oreal? Reminds me of Juicy Tubes, but it's cheaper

[Belle Princesse]

I've got L'Oreal CJ in Iced Latte, it was quite a good lipgloss for the cheap price, people say they don't compare to Juicy Tubes, but I think they're kind of over rated. However the L'oreal one's definately worth it!

 

[cardboardboxed]

I like loreal's jsut as much as I liked juicy tubes.

I called ELF about this(b/c I'm moving soon and was curious!) and the person I spoke with said the best bet RIGHT NOW for Chicago is to order online. So by 'right now' does he mean that sometime it will be available in stores??

I hate ordering online unless I have a few things to get since shipping costs $5, so it feels weird to pay $6 total for one thing that costs $1

Those are my sentiments. Unless you buy in bulk, you're kind of defeating the purpose of affordable makeup.

Interesting info, too, shoegal2183.

i know that girls on the makeup board i mod, they like milani e/s that's found at drug stores.

 

[Tatika]

mm...i like almay's ideal gloss in wine. i just put on a lil bit and tap it all over, and lips have a very pouty, bitten look to them that i love...
almay nearly naked fondation- it works for me tho ive heard alot of people dising it.
and physicians formulabaked blush in baked ginger-yum! i believe its the same color as loreals baked ginger and it has about twice the amount
and my friend, carmex...i have like 8 pans allover my houseand at work

 

[Tatika]

by the way...i use bare mineras, and i was wondering if anyones tried those new mineral foundations from l'oreal, physicians formula, and neutrogena- do they compare with bare minerals?

 

[Jane Loves Marc]

^i tired neutrogenas and they totally sucked. i would stick to BE! it looked cakey and blegh. not at all creamy like BE.

cheap product I love- sonia kashuk cheek sheers are so fantastic!

Have you tried drugstore.com? They have free shipping right now for about $29 order or so ... I wanted some Rimmel, went ahead and ordered shampoo, shower gel, stuff like that that I would be buying soon anyway to get free shipping ... kept me from having to go to Walmart
