*Sigh*  Makeup..  Probably the most fun part of being a girl!  But not all of us can afford to spend $30 on a single lipstick, or want to; as glamorous as it might be.  As especially in this day & age, lots of drugstore makeup can be just as convincing as their high end counterparts.  And in all honesty, i.e. I have found drugstore mascara far better than high end ones.  I wrote an article once, THE BEST PLACES TO SHOP FOR MAKEUP & ACCESSORIES ON A BUDGET!!, where I featured all kinds of places to buy makeup & accessories on a budget.  But what are they?  You can probably name a few brands, but do you know all of them?  Here I will list all the least expensive makeup on the market!

E.L.F. Makeup Remover Wipes, $2, E.L.F. Tone Correcting Powder, $4, E.L.F. Powder Brush, $4, Concealer Brush, $3, Eye Primer & Liner Sealer, $3, E.L.F. makeup brush set $30 for 11 brushes,

-E.L.F.  I’ve written about them before in the past; which stands for Eyes.  Lips.  Face.  They’re my ultimate go to brand for makeup brushes when I don’t feel like spending a fortune on them.  And lots of their products are $1-$3!  One of my favorites to get from them are their false eyelashes, which only cost $2!  They usually sell their products in Target, CVS, & Walmart, but they’ve also recently started their own stores, which I’ve been lucky enough to stop by.  And let me tell you when I was there it was packed with women lining up to by their products!

Wet N Wild’s Cream Glitter Eyeshadow $1, Photofocus Setting Spray $5, 1 Step Wondergel Nail Color $5, Makeup brushes $1-$4 each

–Wet N’Wild  I’ve mentioned them before, but they’ve changed a lot since I was a kid!  Supposedly they sell an eyeliner every 20 seconds!  I remember when I was a kid, they only offered eyeliners & lipsticks.  Now they’ve branched out in a wide variety of different products!  They pride themselves that they came out in 1979 with $1 lipsticks & nail polishes, and their prices have stayed the same ever since!
