Makeup Tips and Tricks from an around the way Brown Girl

Don’t Spend A Ton…

Why spend on pricey cosmetics when you can shop without being hassled at your local pharmacy or supermarket? I am a big advocate in the “you get what you pay for” theory. But a bargain is never a bad thing. Here are a few categories were being frugal are a benefit.

Lipgloss-I have L’Oreal glosses that are just as pretty as my Nars. Shop around, you would be surprised at how many department store knock-offs you can find!

Mascara-Every great celebrity makeup artist out there is a fan of two mascaras, L’Oreal Voluminous and Maybelline Great Lash. Need I say more?

Eye Shadows-If you use the right base, you can make virtually any eyeshadow pop. Milani makes an awesome selection of colors, as well as the cheapest. They even sell eye shadow quads and sets so that you can make a quick selection! I’ll be doing an exclusive story on Milani soon!

Check out Yummy411’s post about the new drugstore collections!!! It’s an awesome post, I think I’m going to run to CVS to see it all!!! What are the drugstore products that you can’t live without???

    Lots! Particularly Revlon blushes and L’Oreal True Match foundation.

    Maybelline Great Lash is overrated – I find that it smears.

    I love Milani eyeshadows as well, they are such good quality. I don’t particularly like Maybelline Great Lash… but L’Oreal HIP is wonderful and not too expensive, and there are also great reviews out there for NYX’s Doll Eye Mascara. The easiest thing to dupe is lip gloss… don’t be afraid of drugstore makeup!

    Great site Scandalous! 🙂
