5 Under $5

I haven't done a 5 under 5 post in forever, since I first started blogging! I've been using some super affordable goodies lately, so I thought I'd start this week off my sharing them!

All these are under $5, and can be found at drugstores and Ulta, with the exception of a colourpop product. 

•Wet n Wild Color Icon Blush in Rosé Champagne ($2.99) has been a favorite blush of mine for quite a while now and I've definitely raved about it a ton. I've obviously hit pan on this gem, and that's not something that happens too often with me and blushes!

•Colourpop Super Shock Shadows are right at the $5 mark, and are such great quality shadows. The shade I'm sharing here is La La and it's a rose gold shade with a metallic finish. I love all my colorpop shadows, this is just one I pulled out for the post. 

•Elf HD Concealer ($3)- this is a good concealer for how cheap it is. It is a bit tiny but it works well under my eyes. I prefer my Mac and Mabelline concealer to this, but if your on a budget the Elf one is worth a try!

•Essence Nude Longlasting Lipstick in Cool Nude ($2.99$) is a great everyday nude/mauve color. The formula is nice too! 

•Essence Make Me Brow ($2.99) has become my favorite and everyday brow gel. And it's only $2.99!! Definitely way more affordable than Benefit gimme brow.

5 Cheaper Alternatives to Your Favorite High End Makeup

Hello! I hope you all had a great weekend!

Today I'm sharing 5 cheaper alternatives to high end makeup. These products I'm about to show are ones I've used for a long time and I think are just as great of quality as high end ones. A few of them I've replaced some high end makeup with that I use to buy all the time, and since I've discovered these ones, I haven't repurchased the high end version! 

L'Oreal Infallablie Pro Spray & Set. This is my favorite setting spray. I used to buy the UD All Nigter spray until I found this one. A lot of drugstore brands have setting sprays now, I've tried the new Maybelline one and I'm not a fan. I did a blog post over a year ago comparing this L'Oreal one to the UD one, where I got technical and compared prices to fl oz, and showed that this one works just as well as UD, but you are getting the most for your money. You can read it here. 

Nyx Micro Brow. This is exactly like the Anastasia Brow Wiz. It's half the price, and if you can get Nyx buy one get one half off at Ulta, then you can get 2 for $15. I have another blog post comparing the two product here. 

Wet n Wild Color Icon Blush I have mine in the shade Rose Champagne. I want a few more of these, and I'm super impressed with the quality of these blushes for how affordable they are. They are just as great as a lot of my high end blushes (and better than some!) and I reach for this one more. 

Elf Contour Palette. This little gem is only $6. I don't actually have any high end contour palettes, but I do have a ton of high end bronzers and I still prefer this elf palette for contouring. Plus is comes with a bronzer, contour, banana shade, and a highlight! 

Maybelline Lipsticks. These are my favorite drugstore lipsticks. I have a ton from different lines, but the creamy mattes are my favorite. You all know I love Mac lipsticks, but these are just as good! 

I definitely plan on doing more posts like this in the future because I love finding affordable options to high end makeup!

April Favorites + Flops Video

Hello! 

I'm excited to share today April Favorites video because I've decided to include my 'Flops' in there too and share some things that I was not loving in addition to my favorites! Let me know if you guys like this idea, and if you do I will definitely try to do this every month! I just thought I would try doing this since it's something different and I don't talk much about products I don't like unless I'm doing a review for them!

April also marked a year anniversary since I started uploading YouTube videos to my channel! My first video was my April favorites from last year, so I was super excited when I realized this! I have some fun ideas for videos that I want to film very soon and now that I realized I've been on YouTube for a year (it defiently doesn't feel like it!) I'm feeling kind of inspired!

Enjoy the video! 

Drugstore Favorites

Hi :)

I've been meaning to do an updated drugstore favorites. I didn't want to do a top five or ten like I have in the past, so today I'm sharing all of my favorites from the drugstore. It's hard to narrow down favorites and these are all things that I love just as much as my high end makeup so I wanted to include everything.  This video is pretty long, so I'm sorry about that! 

Here's some of the products, but I share a ton more in the video!

I hope you enjoy watching, and props of you actually watched the whole thing lol!!
