Affordable Beauty Finds for the Eyes

Ok, as much as I love natural living and a peaceful calm life, which I've noticed has really taken over my blog. I still love makeup. As much as I try to separate myself from sometimes the fickle, crazy, and materialistic world that beauty can be, I can't help it. I love it! I love sharing my tips and helping people out. I love applying makeup. As I like to almost "paint" and the face is my canvas. I love to mix colors and contrast and highlight. I can't help it! I just love it!

As much as I try to think about things that more important in the world & as much as I try to show people true beauty is how you feel about yourself and what you can do in your life to feel beautiful-sometimes a new lipstick or eye shadow can really just make you feel good! There's something so cathartic to me about taking time out of my day for myself and get a facial or try a new beauty product or look. I love to take time at least once a week to give myself a facial. I like to evaluate what's going on with my skin each week, because let's be honest-every week, heck, every day my skin is different. So I like to take time at least once each week to see what's going on with my skin and then do a custom mask to help ease whatever my skin might be going through that week. I love finding beauty looks that I love and trying to achieve them. It just makes you feel good!

So as much as I want to state that true beauty comes from you loving yourself & taking care of yourself, naturally. I also want to reiterate that sometimes it's just nice to find a great beauty product for a great price as well! So now my blog will a balance of the two. Sometimes I'll write about natural beauty & living. Sometimes I'll write about life lessons I've learned to help live a more fulfilling life. And sometimes I'll write about just a really great beauty product!

So I just wanted to share with you one of my favorite, affordable beauty finds!

I have a real bad addiction to Target. I have done well limiting my visits to once a week now but there for a while, I'm surprised they didn't know my name! Anywho, all my affordable beauty finds are usually at Target. I'm sure they're in other drug stores as well but this is where I go to get my affordable beauty products. Here are a few items I've gotten and just love!

Sonia Kashuk Retractable Lip Brush-$6.99



Ok, so I have 2 of these. One I use as a lip brush and one I use as a gel liner brush. Yes, I know it's a lip brush. But I don't care. It has the perfect brush to line gel liner with & I love it! And for that price, you can't go wrong!

CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Mascara-$7.99



I have used this mascara for years! For me, I just love it. I have some people who are not fans, but I really like it. Mascaras are so personal though. Each person has different opinions and needs in a mascara. I like something thicker in consistency but also adds a lot of volume without being too clumpy or tangling my lashes together. I don't have issues with my mascara running so that's not an issue. If running mascara is an issue for you, well hang tight! I have an entire blog on different drug store mascaras I've used!

Since I've noticed this entire drug store blog has been about eye products why not just add another! Here is my final drug store pick for eyes. To me, it's the best base shadow!

L'Oreal Infallible 24hour Eyeshadow in Endless Pearl-$7.95



This is the perfect base eyeshadow to throw on from lash line to brow. It evens out the lid and it's a great color to layer others on top of. If you use it alone, it's a great all-over color to look even and wake and sometimes I only wear this just as an easy look. If you're into that Marilyn Monroe simple eye with a graphic liner, this is a good option too. Just layer a couple more skin tone shades on lid and crease and voila you're Marilyn Monroe! This shadow is also a great one to really highlight the brow bone. Applying this right below the arch of your brow will enhance those pups and really lift the eyes! I love the shadow!! Also, while looking at the website it says it's waterproof! Haven't tried that out, but that's pretty cool. This is just one color I've tried from this line. I want to get more colors because I'm just so in love with this shadow and I'm so pleased with the pigment and wear.
