Don't Be Afraid To Try Cheap Makeup
posted in Makeup on 5/18/2014
I got this makeup set for Christmas last year, it was around $20 for the whole thing from Kmart, it also included 3 nail polishes and nail glitter. It comes in a handy little clear briefcase. The next pictures will be swatches of this set.
So these are the blushes the packaging isn't that great but the colour is quite pigmented. There are 3 colours: light pink, peachy pink and brown (which is great for contouring and bronzing)
These are the lip and eye liners, these are exactly the same for me to any high end liner. The eyeliner colours are black on one side and brown on the other, then the lip liners are red and a pinky purple colour.
This is the liquid eyeliner and mascara. The eyeliner isn't that great it takes a bit to build up the line but it still works. I had an issue with the mascara at first because it seemed like they put too much in so little bits were seeping out as I put the brush back in, but it's good now actually it's great I always use this one for my lower lashes because the brush is small enough to get them all.
These are the eyeshadows and clearly I've liked one in particular. I used that brown to fill in my eyebrows and it worked a charm even stayed on all day. All the other colours are really good pigmented and easy to work with.
These are the lip glosses, they are quite pigmented but it takes a while to build up the colour but it'd be fine if you want a sheer colour
Okay so these are the lipsticks and I was really amazed at these. There are 4 colours and they go on just as well as any high end lipstick. The colours are: pink, goldy brown, purple and red.
So that's the pack but I want to show you a few other lip products that I have that are also really good
This is the L.A colors lip stick I got this at the 1 2 3 dollar store for $1.50 and it is creamy, just glides on and not to mention smells like vanilla
This is from the Jordana range I think I got this for around 2 or 3 dollars from price busters, the colour is iced pink and its a sheer pink colour with little golden glitters, it smells like pink lemonade yum!
This use to be my favourite lipstick I got this from cosmetics plus for around $4 it's BYS risky business
This is a Australis colour inject mineral lipgloss in contemporary. This lipgloss smells like candy, it's very moisturising and not too sticky. I got this for $2 off nzsale but I think they retail at around $15 so more of an expensive one
This is maybeline colour whisper and this is in one size fits pearl. This is my new favourite, it's sheer pink but lovely and moisturising. I got this from farmers for around $12
This is NYX black label in India, here in New Zealand it's really hard to find these so I got this off trade me (like eBay) for $14 and it was so worth it. Love it all so creamy and perfect colour
So that's it! I hope that you learnt something/ will consider giving cheaper products a try.
