Beauty Products Worth the Splurge: Beauty Products Not Worth the Splurge

Shell out the cash on these and you won't regret it.

1. Eyeliner- do you think looking like a bloodshot raccoon is hot? So why would you MAKE yourself look that way.The consequences to a cheap liner can be serious, I've even gotten infections from some. I'd rather wear nothing at all than cheap, clumpy, eye-irritating liners. But even within high-end products, not all liners are created equal.
If you have sensitive eyes like me and want something that doesn't budge, here is my All-time favorite:
Clinique Quickliner For eyes( Now comes in INTENSE if you want more color)

2. Brushes: sometimes the reason why your makeup looks funky is not because of the product, but the brushes used. Brushes seriously make a difference, and believe me, before investing in them I thoutht they were a total waste of money. If your clueless like me and don't feel like shopping around, play it safe with MAC brushes.

Here are my three favorites: 217(blending shadow brush) 239 (applicator shadow brush) 129 SE Blush Brush

Mac 239

3. An eyeshadow Palette: "what do you need ALL those colors for?" said amateur Rosie. "DUH!" you need them to mix them!!!!

 Back in the day I used to just color block my lids or do the basic, dark medium, highlight and my eyeshadow always looked like...well: eyeshadow! But then I discovered the importance of palettes. The larger the spectrum of shades in your palettes, the better the gradient and the more you can create EFFECTS with your makeup.

The obvious favorites for first-timers are Naked One and Two by Urban Decay. But I am also in Love with the Too Faced ones. I have the Matte eye and honestly I already want more!!!

Now for Products Not Worth the Splurge:

1. Lip Product: Mac,Nars and Chanel make gorgeous colors and I will keep buying them, but honestly every time I pick up some random, no-name, bottom of the shelf lip product I FALL IN LOVE. Plus some higher end products get flakier faster than lower end...again don't know why. One of my favorite cheap lippies is from Mercadona!!!(a spanish supermarket)

Deliplus Larga Duracion Barra Labios

2. Mascara: High end ones just suck. The brushes are all the same and the product just sucks. I feel like since high end brands are more luxurious, they are more conservative and therefore play it safer. Drugstore brands are the ones that really experiment with brushes. I always have and always will love L'oreal anything when it comes to mascara. From Lash Architect, to the new Collagen line, L'oreal is awesome!

3. Foundation: Who woulda thought you could go cheap with foundation!!!!! After spending a ton of money to either look like an orangoutang or a bleached out vampire, I gave into the hype for L'oreal's True Match foundation. And let me tell you, 16 euros later I found the best, most natural, blend able, blemish free foundation that makes all of your makeup blend in perfectly on top. I am in love!!!!

Toodles for Now Beauties!!!
