Beauty Bargains

As much as I love shopping, I love a good bargain. When I find a good bargain I like to share it with others. Here are a few great beauty buys I found.

I am a beauty addict and more specifically a MAC addict. I have been in a committed relationship with MAC for the past five years. I have this infatuation with the highly pigmented eye shadows. Of course when L’Oreal Hip became the rage I was not interested because of my commitment to MAC. I must say all the talk did get me a bit curious if all the hype behind L’Oreal Hip was true. Last week Walgreen's was offering a promotion on L’Oreal Hip, buy one get one free. Needless to say I couldn't’t pass up that bargain so I bought Gilded 806 and Platinum 906 both for under $10. I am impressed with the high intensity of the pigments. The colors showed up beautifully against my skin which is always a fear when you have brown skin. I am still addicted to MAC but now I am a little more open to trying other brands.


My friend Brittany over at Clumpsofmascara always gives me a hard time about my brushes. I am fully aware of the importance of a good brush. I think the quality of the brush is as important as the quality of the makeup. I just couldn't’t see paying $30 plus dollars for one brush. I tried Sonia Kashuk's brushes exclusively sold at Target and I was quite impressed. The brushes are high in quality and low in price. Here a few must haves for your cosmetic collection.
