Cheap Thrills



1. Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow & Liner--$11
Why? You get 9 different shades for a variety of custom looks suited to make your specific eye color stand out and they do. Not to mention, it stays put all day & doesn't crease! There are also 5 different collections to choose from: Original, Pop, Eye Candy, Smoky and Bronze. In addition to all of those, PF has their Universal Collection, which has 4 different colors, not specific to any one eye color. Shown above is the Original in "Brown Eyes".



2. CG Lash Blast Volume--$8
Why? I love this mascara! It totally defines, seperates and thickens lashes to their "full" potential. It goes the whole nine, nothing less.

3. Maybelline The Colossal Volum' Express--$7
Why? This is yet another fantastic mascara that plumps lashes up to the extreme. However, this is different because it's a whole lot easier to layer. So pack, pack, pack it on!

4. Maybelline Great Lash Blackest Black--$4
Why? I don't know about you, but I, personally, love the wide-eyed Twiggy look. This is perfect for achieving either a wide-eyed or o' naturale look. It really does get every single lash and it's fantastic for bottom lashes, too! Cheap and versatile. Truly, a classic.

5. CG Clean Sensitive Skin Pressed Powder--$7
Why? This is the only powder that I can fall asleep with it still on and not wake up with a huge pimple the next day.



6. Neutrogena MoistureShine Lip Gloss--$9
Why? Unlike so many other glosses, this doesn't dry out my lips at all and it actually moisturizes them, like the name implies. Also, the colors are all so wonderfully beautiful, yet natural, however, they don't give you a "completely-no-makeup" look and they show up well on camera.

7. Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser, Normal to Oily Skin, 8 fl. oz.--$7
Why? Whether you're suffering from consistent acne breakouts or have skin clearer than purified water, this is an all-around fabulous face wash. It takes off all traces of makeup and doesn't dry out your skin! Did I mention that it's cheap, too?



8. ChapStick Moisturizer Lip Balm SPF15--$2
Why? It has SPF and moisturizes your lips without making them flake and peel, like what every other lip balm does to mine. Long story short, it doesn't dry them out.



9. Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara--$5
Why? This whips my brows into shape in seconds flat, without the expense of pricier brow gels. It's clear, yes, but since it's wet at first, it sort of darkens the brows, just a bit. If you need yours filled in, Maybelline has excellent brow pencils, however, by using this before any brow pencil, it makes it easier to glide the pencil across your brows. It also helps make the pencil darken your brows much faster.

10. Maybelline Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner--$6
Why? It's waterproof, so it lasts. The tapered tip is great for precision but if you're looking to create a natural look with a liquid eyeliner (yes, it can be done), this is not the one. This is for creating more-so dramatic looks.
