Let's Talk Makeup on a Budget

With a poor economy many of us cannot afford to buy high end makeup. As a result I have received numerous emails and comments about makeup on a budget. So I hit up Ulta with $50 to buy foundation, mascara, eyeshadow, blush and bronzer.

Let's Talk Foundation 
I don't know about you, but my skin is important to me and I want to treat it right. I think one should never use liquid foundation. 
My favorite foundation is bareMinerals Original($26) or Matte($28) SPF 15. You can get a foundation that matches exactly with your skintone - not to mention the large jar will last you at least three months.

Let's say you buy the Matte foundation, and it last you three months which is 93 days. This means the foundation is only costing you 30 cents per day to use!

When I use mascara I love serious volume. Great Lash BIG Mascara gave me all the volume I wanted for only $4.99!

{Rimmel London Lasting Finish Powder Blush}

For only $4.99 you can get three shades of blush which includes bronze for highlighting.

{Ulta Eyeshadow Quad}

For only $4.00 you can get four gorgeous eyeshadow shades that actually stay on and look good!

For under $50 you can buy foundation, mascara, blush and eyeshadow! What a steal!

*you can buy cheaper foundation. 

Foundation is one thing personally I would not buy a cheap version of.*
