Good Makeup in a Lousy Economy
March 9th, 2009
Awhile ago I blogged about Paula Begoun and her incredibly useful site, www.beautypedia.com. If you want honest reviews of makeup and hair care products, this is the place to go. There is much free content and if you choose to go for the paid content, $24.95/year is a reasonable cost for all of the thousands of reviews that can help you make informed choices about your beauty products!
Here’s a great free 2008 report Paula published called “Recession Proof Beauty” or how to get great products without paying department store prices: http://www.cosmeticscop.com/bulletin/110608-full.htm
Here are two items that have definitely worked for me:
N.Y.C. Curling Mascara: I am one of those people for whom mascara has always been an issue…it usually ends up in rings under my eyes no matter what I buy, how little moisturizer or how much powder I use. However, this $2.99 mascara is the first time I’ve had mascara actually last all day!
Wet n Wild Silk Finish Highlight & Contour Blush: This 3-part blush is excellent, particularly if you are like me and have light skin and blush application issues. I have a hard time finding colors that don’t make me look like Happy the Clown. This was a winner–and for $4.50 a great deal!
N.Y.C. Smooth Skin Pressed Face Powder: It doesn’t sit heavy on the face and looks great. For $3.99, again, another awesome bargain!
3 great products that can help us look great on a shoestring budget…no matter what the economy! Enjoy!
