Like a number of you out there, I’m heading back to school. It’s my last year of graduate school and as always (and especially with a kiddo doing the same) I’m on a budget. That being the case, here are some of my favorite budget-friendly products that will keep you looking lovely on that shoe string. ;)

Almay smart shade anti-aging makeup

1) Almay smart shade anti-aging makeup: ($9.99) SPF 20, 3 shades that adjust to your skin tone (it uses mirrored pigments) and it’s anti-aging! I love it because it eliminates the need for different foundations for summer versus fall. :)

Almay smart-shade anti-aging concealer

2) Almay smart shade anti-aging concealer: ($8.99) SPF 20, same pigment technology as the foundation and it’s AMAZING for dark circles and won’t settle into fine lines…thank you Dimethicone!

Maybelline Great Lash Limited Edition Colored Mascara

3) Maybelline Great Lash Mascara Colorful Limited Edition Shades: ($6.40) The best-selling drug store mascara of all time has launched fun new colors only available for the month of August! Such a fun way to add a pop of color and if you’re lucky, one of these awesome shades will match your school colors! ;)

Elf Studio Eyebrow Kit

4) e.l.f Studio Eyebrow Kit: ($3.00) If eyes are the window to the soul, then brows are the window frame! Available in 4 wax/powder combinations, with a truly useful brow brush included, it’s the perfect kit for a quick brow on those hurried back-to-school mornings.

5) NYX Bronzer & Blusher Combo: ($9.00) Available in 5 shades to suit any skin tone, this two-in-one eliminates the need for another compact taking up room in your makeup bag. It’s also very heavily pigmented so a little bit goes a long way!

got2b POWDER'ful

6) got2b POWDER’ful Volumizing Powder: ($6.49) Great for every hair type, this weightless powder adds instant volume to any look. It’s great for a little lift at the roots and even better for locking in a tease. Just part your hair, sprinkle a little of the powder at the root and give it a little rub!

Jergens natural glow Firming Daily Moisturizer

7) Jergens natural glow Firming Daily Moisturizer: ($8.49) So you mean I can have a natural-looking tan AND firmer skin? YES! One of my favorite products of all time, it’s a great way to transition your skin from summer to fall AND look tight and toned! LOVE IT!

8) The Dr. Lewinn line by Kinerase ($10.49 - $34.99): Created by the skincare wizards at Kinerase ($33 - $140), Dr. Lewinn is the affordable answer to great skin! I LOVE THIS LINE!!! …and it really works! You’ll be amazed at how great your skin looks after just a few weeks!!!

As always, message me with any of your questions, comments or ideas! I’d love to hear from you!

Peace, Love & Samples,

Felicity
