Shop under $15: Flawless Foundations March 18th, 2010 By

Flawless Foundation under $15

Flawless Foundation under $15

We’ve all felt guilty after leaving the makeup counter with an empty wallet and only an item or two to show for it. This doesn’t have to happen anymore! Drug store makeup can be just as great as brand name makeup, and it won’t break the bank.  Here are a few great foundations I’d recommend, and they’re all under $15.00!

At prices like these, you can buy 2 shades to blend and customize coverage just like the pros.  Who knows, instead of spending $50 bucks a pop at the department store, you could find your dream foundation that’s exactly the right color.

1. Creamy, dreamy, and such a delight, Maybelline Dream Mousse Foundations are all you need for smooth foundation coverage that doesn’t feel caked on or heavy.

2. Find it impossible to match your skin tone? L’Oreal True Match Super Blendable Powder promises to blend in perfectly so you get a flawless, natural look.

3. Prefer natural mineral foundations? This Neutrogena Mineral Sheers are hypoallergenic and perfect for sensitive skin.

4. I don’t use foundation unless it’s a special event, but I do like a good tinted moisturizer for daily coverage. Covergirl Smoothers Tinted Moisture is a nice amount of coverage for evening out your skin tone, and the bonus factor is that it has SPF 15.

Beauty Talk: Great Lengths with Tube Mascara November 11th, 2009 By

L'Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes

Fine, short and pale lashes are the enemy. Our secret weapon? Tube mascara.  This recent innovation is simply amazing.  Tube mascaras take more time to apply, but they are longer lasting, totally waterproof, dramatic and may help you skip eyeliner.

Blinc Mascara

Blinc Kiss Me mascara, available at Sephora, is applied in a one-step process.  L’Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes is a two-step process where a white primer does the lengthening and a colored mascara darkens the lashes.  Tube mascaras surround each eyelash in polymer, keeping the lashes from clumping while simultaneously thickening them.  Pair your new dramatic fringe with your favorite stand-out lipstick and a light dusting of blush for an easy look that balances and polishes your features.
