Transparency: Makeup Must Haves!

I do not consider myself to be a makeup connoisseur by ANY means. However, I have found some products recently that are not only 100%  affordable, but they are so easy to apply AND they make me look like I am a master! Ha!

You can click on any of the pictures below, and it will take you straight to my Amazon Affiliate link where you can purchase from there!  

Makeup Must Haves: Product #1: Mascara-

The first product I would like to talk about is the one that has people saying, “Girl, are those fake?!?” (I’m talking about makeup people!) Don’t let your mind wander….

This product is mascara. AFFORDABLE… like under $5.00…mascara! It is the Essence Mascara Line. There are (3) different ones I use…

#1: (Green) Lash Princess False Lash Effect     

#2: (Pink) Lash Princess Curl and Volume     

#3: (Purple) Lash Princess Sculpted Volume

Above is a pic to see it on me. The difference with and without the product is CRAZY!

Makeup Must Haves: Product #2: Blush Stick-

The second product I would like to talk about is the one that I can literally apply with my eyes closed! No brushes needed….SIMPLICITY!

It is the Elf   blush stick, and the best part is….it’s only $5.00!! If you CLICK on the picture of the blush stick below, it takes you straight to purchase it! I have also included some pics on me applying it…..

(Please ignore the makeup faces I am making…you know you make those faces too! )

Makeup Must Haves: Product #3: Maybelline – Longwear lip color

Maybelline Super Stay Vinyl Ink Longwear No-Budge Liquid Lip color Makeup

The third product is one of my two favorite lipsticks that I have found in a LONG time! The variety of colors is perfect for individual personalities, and most ALL of them are on SALE NOW!! Click on any of the pictures below, and it will take you straight to my Amazon affiliate link.  The first picture is my personal favorite color. “Captivated”  (As seen on me in the picture below.) The second picture is “Awestruck”, and the third is “Cheeky”.

The everyday price for these (which is STILL worth it) is $12.99. However, right now they are:  Captivated: $9.73, Awestruck:$6.50, and Cheeky: $9.88.

These would be the perfect stocking stuffers!

Makeup Must Haves: Product 4#: Maybelline – Lip Gloss

Speaking of Maybelline….They continued to impress me with this next product. You can wear it as it, or over one of the above colors. It’s legit! It is a “lifter gloss, it’s hydrating, and has a high shine for plumper looking lips.” There are also multiple colors in this product. I just tend to go for the natural colors. Once again, these come at a very affordable price! Regularly all $10.99, and on sale now for around $7 or less! Click on the image to purchase!

Makeup Must Haves: Product 5#: DRMTLGY- Tinted SPF 46 moisturizer

Since I just got back from my honeymoon, I can tell you  firsthand that this stuff works! All I did is put some of this on my face, and I was protected from the sun AND it looked like I had a bit of face  makeup on! Click on the picture of the moisturizer bottle, and it will take you straight to the Amazon link!

Thank you for allowing me to share with you my first round of affordable products with you! I have more to come!

(It won’t always be makeup.) I have affordable apparel, stocking-stuffers, products for the classroom, and products just to make life a bit easier~ Now, I know we could all use that! Enjoy!
