I'm Gonna Make Tongues Wag...Only Got Five Dollars in My Pocket

Hello Ravishing Readers!!

I hope you like the title of this post, as I take the Thrift Shop song as my own, personal anthem.

Every Saturday morning, I wake up, grab my laptop, and ever-so-quietly (in a usually failed attempt to allow my husband valuable sleeping time.) From this point forward, I peruse Pinterest for about an hour or so...or up until the point my husband asks me to move locations in order to provide him said slumber.

As hard as it must be to believe, I'm fairly pidgeon-holed in my searches on Pinterest. Typically, I can spend houuurrrsss on end in JUST examining budget friendly cosmetic products online and STILL be all:

Typically this online quest will result in me venturing out to wherever I have to go a drug store or Wal Mart to seek out one inexpensive product I've found in my valiant morning investigation. Hey, weekends are all about this right??

As a result of my weekend splurges  very important beauty blog research, I have been able to compile a list of awesome products that won't cost you a dollar more than five bucks.

"That's crazy!" you might say. "Impossible" might say others..."you get what you pay for and five dollars just isn't enough to attain great beauty products." To those readers I say...dream the impossible dream!!! Fight the impossible fight!! There REALLY ARE amazing offerings out there that cost just one little fiver. It's TRUE!! I mean come on guys...would I lie about the bill that honest Abe if litrally ONNN??

So here are the proud, the few, the incredible products flying in under the five dollar mark. Just kidding, there are actually a ton of products I found. Hece, the thirty minute video (ugh I know I'm SORRY..stop where you want :) Please enjoy the post and remember to subscribe to my channel and the blog. OH! And let me know what you want to see next. I'm always listening to my vivacious viewers and rivetting readers. Thank you guys so much for all the views and hits on the blog!!

Maybelline The Nudes Pallete Review/Tutorial

Good afternoon all you lovely ladies!!!

If any of you ladies are as active as I am in the you(tube)uverse, you know that nude eye pallets are seriously EVERYWHERE. All it took was one little Naked makeup invention from Urban Decay, and suddenly women from across the world are all

anytime a neutral eyeshadow is anywhere within a 50 yard proximity.

And I have to admit I'm nowhere near above the fray. If I could easily plunk down $50.00 for anything, let alone an eyeshadow box, I would've most likely been the first lady in line down at the local Ulta--Urban Decay's Naked pallete happily in-hand.

But alas, that's not where I am in life. So, instead, I've experimented with lesser expensive eyeshadows over time--picking and choosing which ones ROCK and which ones to KNOCK. An awesome play on words no?? **As a side note, I'm thinking about doing a Youtube segment like this, so let me know what you think!!**

I was walking through my CVS one morning, and came across a Maybelline eye pallete called "The Nudes," and was (obviously) instantly interested. I spent around $10.00 on it, and am really pleased overall. My review is provided below.

TEXTURE: Overall, the shadows are really nice texture. Specifically, the non-matte shades are wonderfully creamy and pigmented. They are the BOMB!! Dare I say they remind me, texture-wise of Wet N Wild? The matte shades are a little less creamy, but not overly dry or chalky.

COLOR RANGE: There are some truly great colors here. Dark sparkly brown, taupe, light and dark gold, and a beautiful charcoal black are just a few of what you will receive in this pallet. The only thing I noticed missing, that in my opinion would make it better, is a matte warm color for blending purposes.

PRICE POINT: $10.00 for 12 shadows...nuff said :)
