Beauty on a Budget
After a trip to Costa Rica, I am back and ready to dazzle you with some beauty budget buys! My boytoy recently traveled to the UK for work, and like a good sport he brought me back some makeup goodies. A cool perk about traveling, aside from learning about a new place and new experiences is also discovering what they have to offer as far as their own beauty items go. UK drugstore's are a power house in my eyes, Boots being my favorite, and luckily for me that's exactly where my guy picked me up some things! Read on to learn about my new favorite UK products as well as two extra beauty budget goodies I bought stateside......
Beauty Budget Breakdown
What it is: Maybelline 24HR Color Tattoo Cream Eyeshadow, only available in the UK
Colors: 40-Permanent Taupe and 65-Pink Gold
What it does: Can be used by itself, as a base that you can use to layer with other eyeshadows, and as a cream liner on the top or lower lash line
Why I love it: They are high quality cream shadows, long lasting, do not crease, a fair price point, and have a great variety of colors
Great for: Hot climates, whether on vacation or if you live in an area with high temps
Fun Fact: The US sells these too, BUT they do not offer matte colors like the UK does. They are still awesome and I can do a review on the ones I own from the US in the future.

Price: $6.99
What it is: Wet n Wild Color Icon Glitter
Colors: Brass and Groupie
What it does: Used on lid for added dimension, add to lipsticks, or for costume makeup
Why I love it: I originally was skeptical about these. From what I've heard, the Glitter Injections Pressed Glitter is better. However, I saw a Jeffree Star Drugstore Tutorial recently where he used Brass and it looked awesome. I love glitter and want to use it as much as I can because someday it might not look as flattering!
Price: 0.99 (best price ever)
Final Thoughts:
Do not be bogged down by luxury brands! I can not say this enough! I have some luxury items that I do love, but having a bias against brands because of a name or a price point is just silly. I would try any and every makeup brand if my bank account allowed it. It's so much fun seeing what every brand has to offer. Get out of your high end box and branch out, I assure you that you'll be pleasantly surprised. :) Also, New York Fashion Week is coming up, STAY TUNED for what I have in store about one of the best weeks of the year!
