| | The Basic Needs
Hey guys! I appreciate the comments on
the last post! Even only a few comments really mean a lot to me. I said
I wasn't probably going to post until Sunday morning, but my plans got
cancelled and I'm free to post.
Today my post is going to be on THE
BASIC NEEDS. These are things you NEED. This includes wardrobe
essentials and makeup must-haves. Now on to the good stuff:
The Basic Needs
Hair
CHEAP: If
your on a budget and have frizzy hair, frizzease is your best friend!
They offer "Straight Ahead" and "Curl Around" shampoos, so you can buy
which one you want for styling. You can buy this at walmart, along with
the conditioner and the styling gel you want. Another great cheap
shampoo and conditioner is pantene! Pantene Pro Viatmin (I believe..?)
Is also great for all hair types.
EXPENSIVE BUT BETTER: Aquage is
probably the greatest shampoo I have ever experienced! It leaves shine
and a scent, while your hair is soft and smooth. Some of my favoite
products by Aquage are the straightening gel, which you rub in damp
hair before blow drying and their heat protecting spray to use while
you straighten!
Makeup
Makeup, makeup makeup, so many products, so little time. That's why I'm
going to help you out and show you my favorite brands! (I
realize that I'm leaving concealer, lipstick, powder, blush, eyeshadow,
eyeliner, and eyebrow pencil out. I will put those in a later post. In
fact, there will be a whole post dedicated to those. Foundation,
Lipgloss, and mascara to me are just the essentials.)
FOUNDATION:
CHEAP:
Maybelline pure makeup is great! It's inexpensive, and can be picked up
at your local drugstore. Also, you can order samples of it here: http://puresampling.maybelline.com/
EXPENSIVE: MAC has
great foundation. While it's expensive, it provides great cover and is
high quality. I personally love their SELECT SP5 15. It's a sunscreen
and a foundation. Great for summer!
LIPGLOSS:
Lipgloss is said to be a girl's best friend. I couldn't agree more. But with so many options, which should you buy?
CHEAP: I LOVE Burt's
Bees lip shimmers and Bonnebell LipLites. These are very inexpensive,
and some of the best drugstore lipglosses around!
EXPENSIVE: Du Wop Lip Venom (Sephora) and Stila Lip Gloss (Sephora.) I don't think I could live without either of them.
MASCARA:
To me a great mascara is incredibly hard to find. But I've tried my best, and here are the results.
CHEAP: Max Factor Lash Lift Mascara. It's a cheap great mascara!
EXPENSIVE: Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara. Enough said.
Style
(There
are only cheap here. No expensive. The Beauty Expert does not believe
in expensive clothes so that you can flash designer labels.)
Stock
up in these in every color! They're great for summer and easy to pair
with anything! You can find them at pretty much any store.
i'm not finishing this post until i get 4 comments.
