Yes, I admit.. Sephora is my favorite when it comes to shopping for make-up. But when you have other goals in mind, and frankly, dare I say it; more important things to put your money towards than makeup, you can still satisfy that ‘sweet tooth’ by stocking up on some Wal-Mart goodies at a fraction of the price. The products I’m going to share with you are great quality-price wise and so much fun to play with. Did I mention your wallet will be smiling? Take a look, and let me know what you think.

Mascara Pick: Maybelline Lash Sensational
This is hands my favorite budget mascara. The formula doesn’t flake on me, it’s easy to wash off and it separates and elongates my lashes perfectly. The curved wand allows me to get the corners lashes nice and easy.

Moisturizer Pick : Aveeno Positively Radiant
I love this Moisturizer because it’s light weight enough to wear daily under makeup. It’s also got SPF 15 to help protect your skin against the damaging sunrays. I’ve been using it long enough to see dramatic improvement in my dark spots and acne scars as well as this helps to even your skin tone and texture. My skin is also super sensitive and this doesn’t cause any irritation or breakouts. I can’t recommend this face cream enough.

Foundation Pick: Maybelline Dream Radiant Liquid
After being the type to switch up foundation regularly, I’m now certain I’ve found THE ONE! I use shade 75″Natural beige” and I feel it fits my skin perfectly. I like how breathable it is even though it’s a medium, buildable coverage. However, the best part about this foundation is that it is infused with Hyaluronic Acid and Collagen so not only am I covering up unwanted skin texture, I am also helping with it’s natural appearance.. As I mentioned, my skin is sensitive and I am acne prone but this baby doesn’t clog pores. If you’ve been looking for your holy grail drugstore foundation, let me tell you.. you should try this.

Concealer Pick : Covergirl
Everyone agrees that this is an amazing Tarte “Shape tape” dupe. Coverage is amazing as well as consistency. I am so impressed by how this covers my dark undereye circles (and I think you will be too!)

Self-Tanner Pick : Jergen’s Natural Glow, Instant Sun
No need to spend your time testing different self-tanners! This one has got you covered. Smooth, natural color that doesn’t transfer and dries quickly. What more can you ask for? I use the deep dark color and I love the natural glow I get. I also love how I can re-apply it the next day to get even more color and I don’t look orange one bit!

Dry Shampoo : Batiste
I love this dry shampoo! But beware! .. Please apply dry shampoo properly! Make sure you let the shampoo sit about a minute at your roots and then massage it in. A lot of people complain about white residue but if applied correctly you shouldn’t see it. Trust me, I’ve got dark hair so I know 🙂

Jade Roller: Amazon brand or ANY
Totally a MUST-HAVE, a jade roller helps to de-puff your face by gently rolling any liquids out. There are so many tutorials available online for this technique but trust me when I tell you it doesn’t take too long to start seeing results with this baby. It also helps prevent wrinkles by relaxing the facial muscles. Definitely a great tool to add to your skincare routine that doesn’t break the bank.

Lipstick: NYC Lingerie liquid lipstick
If you need a versatile, matte, long-lasting lipstick- THIS is the ONE! It’s got a creamy texture, lovely color and come in a lot of beautiful neutral shades. My favorite shade is “Bedtime Flirt”.
