Thursday Tag! $20 Face

The Mission:
20 Dollars for a Full Face with All drugstore/bargain store Make Up! $20 Include the Cost of Brushes!



Here are a few option to help create the perfect face depending on the day's needs - all coming from my personal stash of products I use! 



Just A Lil' Coverage! 
"Oh I Just Woke Up Like This"


Wet n Wild Ultimate Sheer Tinted Moisturizer in Sunkissed $3.99
Most days this is all I want on my skin, just something to give it a little glow and minor coverage! This is perfect applied with your fingers - just apply as you would face cream. Layer if needed!



E.L.F Powder Brush $3.00
This is a holy grail brush for me! I have 6!  I recommend it to everyone and often gift them! I mean for $3 why not!
It's super versatile I use it to stipple my foundation on, B.B Cream, Powder, Bronzer, Blush and to blend all the pieces together - pretty good for such a humble price tag! 

e.l.f. Studio Compact Blush/Bronzer $3.00
Perfect pink/peach blush and a semi matte bronzer. I use this bronzer all over or just for contouring & the blush on the apples of my cheeks for the slightest flush. 


Rimmel London Glam Eye Shadow Trio in Orion $4.99
This is a relative newcomer in my world. Recently picked it up @ Target. Love the smooth texture and the depth of the colors - plus I love the neutrals! For application do a combo of your fingers & the kit's sponge tip applicator. It can be easier than brush application! Trust Me & Try It!




Jordana Squeeze n' Shine Super Shiny Tasty Lip Gloss in Mandarin Glaze $1.99

These Lip Glosses are my drugstore darlings! Smell & Taste nice, not too sticky and pack a punch of Gloss that could blind a man! Apply to the center of your lips then spread with your finger... or else you will look like a sloppy glittery mess!

Wet n Wild Mega Length Mascara $2.99

 I'm partial to rubber wand mascaras &  "wet" mascaras. This one has both! A few layers & this mascara will give you outrageous length & volume.


Fugly To Fabulous Full Coverage!
"Damn! I Look Like Death Warmed Over... I need Some Full On Make Up"


Rimmel Lasting Foundation $7.29 
This was my go to foundation during the winter time. Has great coverage & doesn't shift during the day - set with a little powder to give it the extra staying power.
Wet N Wild Coverall Stick Light 801 $1.99
This puppy is thick so be careful because it can drag on your skin if applied directly from the tube. An easier way is putting some on the back of your hand and rubbing it with your finger as if to warm it. The heat generated will make it temporarily thinner & smoother to apply!
E.L.F Pressed Powder in Light Beige 1.00
Not the most elegant or luxurious powder but when all you need is a light dusting to set your mug it gets the job done. Great for re-application during those days when you are fighting the losing battle with the elements... IE. Humidity!
Wet n Wild Icon Blush In Heather Silk $2.99 
There blushes are FANTASTIC & you can't beat price! Good amount of product, a small brush & they are super  pigmented! Go light both in getting the product on the brush & on your face since it does pack a punch! The small brush that is included is perfect if you are pressed for purse space or cash!
NYC Big Bold Mascara in Extra Black $4.99
This is another rubber wand mascara & I love doing as many as 4 coats. Makes my lashes super luscious! Great also for late day touchups. Plus it comes in a Pink Tube - Aly *Hearts* Pink!
e.l.f. Essential Lipstick in Seductive $1.00
Can't go wrong with a little hint tint of deep pink - and for a Dollar??? Obviously pick whatever shade meets your fancy. I choose this hue since it's closer to my natural lip color. 
The Eyes Have It!
"Stare Into My Eyes & Become Hypnotized!"

Wet n Wild Color Icon Eye Shadow Trio in Spoiled Brat $2.99 
In this case there is nothing wrong with being a spoiled brat! These Wet n Wild Trios come in so many different combos it's hard to choose, but of all the ones I have this is my fave for making my eyes the center of the show! Finger and sponge tip application will suffice for this!
Jordana InColor FabuLiner Liquid Eye Liner $1.99 
 I'm not a huge liquid eyeliner fan but this FabuLiner really won me over! It's jet black and shiny when dried. The application is a piece of cake as it's just like a pen! I've tried other more expensive liners but always find myself setting those aside and diving in for this.

Ardell Glamour Starter Kit $5.99

 I generally purchase Ardell lashes - picked this specific set for a friend who has never wore falsies. Great starter pack that includes glue and an applicator. I suggest you apply with your fingers instead but give it a swing & I'm sure you will find your most convenient way! 


e.l.f. Studio Lash Extending Mascara  $3.00

Use to bond your real lashes with your falsies for more emphasis on your peepers. This mascara is great because it doesn't distribute too much product on your lashes, just a good conservative amount... two coats and you will be good to go! 
NYX Round Case Lipstick in Thalia $3.99 
This is a great lipstick for a smokey eye! It's a perfect nude that makes your lips inviting while not putting them on center stage! The best part of this lippy is that it looks good on al sorts of complexions! Definitely pick this baby up!
e.l.f. Essential Blush with Brush in Blushing $2.00
Great blusher when you want to go light on your cheeks. Gives you a light color that makes it look perfectly natural... like the man of your dreams made you blush! Comes with a teeny tiny brush but this blush is light enough to carefully apply to your cheeks with your God given makeup tools your fingers!!!!

All About the Lips!
"Don't You Wanna Kiss Me?"
 

Wet n Wild Creme Brulee $1.99
Since you are going for a dramatic lip here everything else on your mug must be muted! This eyeshadow is a dead on dupe own the Mac Hue of the same name.  Apply all over your lid with your finger & use a little under your eyebrows as a highlighter! 



Rimmel London Extra Super Mascara $3.59
 Will add good volume & curl to your lashes with it's bangin' curling wand! Go thick with a lot of layers since your will be wearing barely any shadow and you don't want your eyes to get completely lost!


e.l.f. Studio Blush in Pink Passion $3.00
This is my favorite e.l.f blush - I find it comparable to NARS' Desire... just 30 bucks cheaper! Gives you those porcelain doll checks everyone loves! 

e.l.f. Studio Angled Blush Brush  $3.00
Use this bad boy to apply your blush! It's a million dollar brush for a mere 3 Bucks! The hair on the brush is soft and does a good job gabbing product and distributing it easily.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks in Black Cherry $7.99
Now I know the color is not for everyone so find what ever shade fits you best! I love this deep hue at the place of a classic red lip... find it sexier and more unexpected.... but Revlon has a million shades for that "look at my perfect pout" dramatic color!

Disclaimer: I'm sure you know the deal by now. To my boyfriend's disappointment I pay for all my makeup myself... No free rides here. These are my honest opinion... And since we are being honest I should divulge that I think plaid is humanity's worst crime!
