3 Great Beauty Buys

Let’s face it. Looking good doesn’t come cheap. Visit any cosmetic counter and what do you see? Miniscule tubes of moisturizer for $50 or mascaras for $30! I’m here to tell you there are some great beauty bargains at drugstores and supermarkets. Just because the trend is for the high end, doesn’t mean there aren’t some good budget beauty buys out there.  all the products featured here today can be found in chains such as Wal Mart, Rite Aid, CVS and many large supermarket chains.

1. Biore Shine Control Moisturizer – The women who did my makeup for my wedding swore by Biore products. She said they were affordable but produced great results. I use them too now and she’s right.

2. L’Oreal Bare Naturale Gentle Mineral Makeup  – With brands such as Bare Minerals selling for $40 or $50 a pop, I can appreciate L’Oreal’s $15 version. I like mineral foundation much more than a liquid foundation because it’s not greasy and heavy. This is a wonderful, affordable solution.

3. Maybelline Great Lash Mascara – At $5 a pop, it’s still the best bang for your buck. With all the expensive brands out there, this is the one the beauty people to the stars use. I’ve been using it since high school (and trust me, that was some time ago) because it’s hypo allergenic and inexpensive.
