I am a die hard bargain shopper. there is nothing I love more than getting a great product at a reasonable price. That is why I have created this top 10 list for you. Enjoy and don't forget to share with your friends. Xoxo- Beauty blogging by Brooke ♥

10. E.L.F setting spray
I am OBSSESED with this product. It is comparable to the NYX setting spray and only 3 dollars. this bottle has lasted me about 2 months and I use it every single day! It also contains Aloe, Green tea, cucumber, and vitamins A, C, and E which are all super healthy, plus it smells awesome!
I give this product 5 out of 5 stars.
 
 
9. The Maybelline Eye studio gel eyeliner
This product ha a really creamy consistency which is awesome for beginners using gel eyeliner. It also comes with a brush, which I suggest cleaning at least once a week, if possible after each use which will make it easier to apply. This product will usually last me about 4-5 hours of wear, which is a pretty decent length of time.
I give this product 2 1/2 out of 5 stars
 
 
8.Maybelline instant age rewind under eye concealer
This product not only conceals your under eye circles, but it also can be used as an under eye highlighter which I have mostly used it for. it is an easy apply and will last you quite awhile.  I get about 5-6 hours of wear with this product. This product is easily compared to the M.A.C under eye concealer. this product how ever is not awesome when used to conceal redness or blemishes.
I give this product 3 out of 5 stars.
 
7. Milani baked blushes
 These blushes are beautiful and they have such a wide range of color selection. They also have amazing color pay off and are so inexpensive these blushes will run you 7-8 dollars usually. The packaging is adorable and these blushes are just all around amazing.
I give this product 5 out of 5 stars.
 
6. Rimmel stay matte pressed powder
This powder is THE BOMB! it is a beautiful matte pressed powder that is an amazing setting powder, this powder will last you forever! I can not live with out this product in my life. 
 
6. Real Techniques sculpting brush
 Rael Techniques is known world wide for their amazing brushes, The sculpting brush is an amazing brush for a more natural contour look. This bush will run you about 10 dollars!
 
 
5 ELF lips exfoliator
 
This lip exfoliator will leave your lips super soft and take a lot of the dead ski on your lips off. Plus, its a ELF product so it super cheap this will cost you 3 dollars!
 
 
4. The nudes pallet from Maybelline
This pallet is absolutely beautiful. it is so hard finding good drug store eye shadows. these eye shadows are very pigmented and have amazing color pay off. If you are look for a good drug store eye shadow this is the one for you.
 
 
3. ELF brow kits
 
This is the perfect brow kit for beginners. its got a gel for outlining the brows and then a powder for filling them in, it also comes with a small brush for your convenience.
 
 
2. Ardell lashes
These lashes are beautiful ad come in so many different styles of lashes. If you are looking for affordable lashes but beautiful style these are for you.

Pros and Cons of the "Loreal True Match" foundation

I have been using the 'Loraeal True Match Foundation' for about a year now and I have absolutely LOVED this product, but over the course of the year I have noticed some amazing things, and some NOT so amazing things; so to conclude this intro here is my review/ pros and cons list of the 'L'Oreal true match foundation.
PRO: This foundation is a very 'buildible' foundation it can either be used with one light layer or you can apply the layers to make a full face of makeup for a flawless finished look.
 
CON: I  my opinion the foundation has a little bit of a dewy finish, more so in the "L'Oreal true match LUMI', but this dewy finish can easily be matiffied by using a matte pressed powder over the top of the foundation
 
PRO: This is a drug store foundation, so not only is a convenient find, but is also sold at an affordable cost.
 
CONS: it does have a slight scent, but nothing to bad!
 
PROS: They have many colors in cool an warm tones so it is easy to find the foundation right for your skin tone.
