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

[Beloved]

Most of my make-up I get from Sephora, because I have a few favorites from Stila (mostly). I don't have a ton of it so it's not that expensive.

I use any over the counter facial moisturizer with SPF 30. I have tried Neutrogena, Aveeno, and Olay and have liked them all. I also sometimes buy mascara from the drugstore, too. I just bought a L'Oreal one today that I've never tried.

I am also a fan of Burt's Bees tinted lip gloss.

I've tried Lancome and other high-end mascaras, but keep returning to good old drugstore-sold, L'Oreal Voluminous waterproof mascara.

Also I've used humble Pond's cold cream since I was a girl, to remove eye makeup.

I love wandering through huge drugstores on my lunch hour. You never know what deals you'll find.

My two favorite beauty products are baking soda and coconut oil. Baking soda is great to exfoliate with and coconut oil is a good natural moisturizer for skin and hair. Oh, and I love my French clay mask and mineral make-up. I'm all-natural kind of femme.

>>Au Naturelle is always a good thing.

>>I didn't know that you could use baking soda as an exfoliator..thanks for the tip, GOF. I love coconut oil...smells much better than olive oil...and works just as good, if not better...I bet you could make your own lip balm w/ it, as well...hmmmm...

>>I also use mineral make-up...It just gives a sheer veil over the skin..I love it!

>>>This was my fav in high school...makes lashes look really full.

>> I use this all over my face to remove make-up before I cleanse, and my skin never feels tight or dry after.

>>>Aint' it fun though?...NYC has THE BEST DRUGSTORES..floors of low-end to the highest end products...Dangerous.

>>Sephora is addictive. But, if you buy certain staple products that you use often and really love, I think it's totally worth it. You can't really put a price on feeling good.

>>>All of these I like, too. I have never spent a lot on daily face lotions w/spf. There really is just no need to, in my opinion.

I am also a fan of Burt's Bees tinted lip gloss.

>>I've only used the Badger Balm, the Lavender sleep balm, and the regular lip balm...but since I keep hearing about their tinted lip glosses, I will have to try. Thanks.
