I'm such a sucker for cute packaging but then again who isn't?! If I see something particularly adorable despite how good or bad it may be I find myself drawn to it. I can't help it but, it does become a problem when you're trying to clean, organize, and purge your room but, you keep buying more makeup than know what to do with...oops.
Personally I don't think the price point of a product has anything to do with whether a product is good or not. I've had some amazing high end products and I've had some not so great ones and the same goes for lower end products. If something works it works and I think it's as simple as that sometimes. If I can save money on a product and still get great quality you bet I'm going to go for it. Throw that extra money I saved to the side to save for a rainy day where I might just use it to splurge on something I really want (like food or some lipstick I clearly don't need.)
I feel like I haven't been picking up many makeup products from the drugstore recently. As soon as I came to this realization I got an itch to try out a few new drugstore products I had been hearing about. Armed with a mission and zero willpower to turn down an interesting beauty product I waltzed into Target leaving with a few more things than I had originally planned. I'm slightly ashamed of my weakness but also proud I didn't do more damage. When something looks new and interesting you can't just leave it behind, right?!
I love a good cream contour. I think that creams blend effortlessly and give you a very natural blended look. Using creams is also ideal for so many different skin types since creams tend to work better on mature skin, makes sure dry skin doesn't look cakey, and sticks better to oily skin. Contour palettes can be a little pricey though and not everyone has the means to add that extra step into their routine. For the babes on a budget who don't want to dish out too much money on high-end cream contour products I have a cheap and easy alternative for you all; cream concealer sticks! It might be pretty obvious but who really knows because sometimes I think this idea can be a little overlooked. Before I had two pennies to rub together (which still is basically the case) and before contouring had become the power play that it is today I was using L'Oreal cream concealer sticks to slim down my chin and give dimension to my face.
