Make-Up Game or Gain?

As a college female, make-up that doesn't cost a fortune is a blessing. Now, I'm not huge into make up and am definitely no style guru, but I still need and love the basics. That being said, I hate spending a ton of money on make up. So, what if I told you there's a way you don't have to either. Whether you absolutely love doing your make-up or just put it on to not look like a zombie (like myself), there is a way to buy make up for less.

All of the make-up I use is brands you could find at any drugstore or even Walmart. Just because I don't buy it at a high end store doesn't mean it isn't as good of quality. Beauty stores like Ulta sell these drugstore products along side higher name brand/more expensive products. There should be no shame in getting good deals on beauty products!

These are the main products I use on almost a daily basis. These can all be found at almost anywhere that sells makeup!

Below are the prices I paid for each product (without any coupons or sales that there were on the products):

• Stiletto liquid eyeliner - $7.51
• Stay Matte foundation - $4.72
• Age Rewind concealer - $7.54
• Dream Wonder powder foundation - $8.99
• Ulta blush brush (I got this for free from a friend)
• Eyelash curler (I got this in a set with other products, but alone it's around $2)
• Colossal mascara - $5.09
• Vaseline lip balm (I got this one for free from a friend)
• Covergirl blush - $4.98

I bought all of these between Ulta and Walmart which means the prices could vary. Also, I rarely pay full price for anything, so I used whatever coupons I could and took advantage of buy one get one 50% sales. Both Walmart and Ulta usually have coupons for certain products. A common sale with Ulta is to get $3.50 off a purchase of $10 or more.

Next time you need to replace your old mascara or run out of your foundation, remember that you don't have to spend a fortune!
