Cheap Beauty...A ? for those of the femme persuation.

Bumping because I love make-up that's cheap!

My current facial powder to go over my liquid foundation is Elf in translucent, $3-5. I've tried many other loose powders to "set" my makeup but they often wear off and my skin feels and looks shiny in no time. Elf so far has done the best at feeling lightweight while still keeping my face feeling soft and not oily or sticky.

I bought some this past winter and it's inexpensive, feels good on your lips and it's an organic product. It lasts quite a while too. You can probably find it at any drugstore or beauty supply. I found mine at Target. For under $6, I bought a roll-on sphere of lip balm, which came with an extra tube of the same type of lip balm. I'm using the Strawberry flavored one, currently, and I like it a lot.

I’ve been enjoying the conditioning hair color mask by Maria Nila. It’s not exactly cheap, but it’s not expensive either. I like how my hair color looks nicer and how it makes my hair soft and manageable. I use the color mask in a neutral shade (cool cream), so my hair looks natural and beautiful.

Maria Nila hair products are eco-friendly (zero net carbon).

So for me, I can't find anything I like as much as brands at Sephora... but I get them with VIB percentage off during sales and holiday specials. However, one thing I love is plain old witch hazel as a toner. I've been using it for ages and can attest to the fact that it works and there are no issues!

I bought some nail polish at the grocery store awhile back. It’s super cheap, and it’s a lovely shade that is very sheer and gives your nails a shiny, lustrous pearl like look.
