self adhesive stamps Pt. 1

When I purchase "high-end" makeup, my expectation meter automatically raises to must-be-better-than-its drugstore-counterpart level. It pleases me to say, that my expectations are sometimes squashed *up.

Here is a  list by photo, of a few drugstore products (that for now) I just love, love...love.

*still a great buy at about $6 at drugstores
I like the funny shaped wand
@ it's best on my lower lashes.
stamped: repurchased
I pretty much abuse this palette of neutrals.
Stamped with great pigmentation and it's cheap.
works best for my brows
*paired with M.A.Cs copperplate eyeshadow
stamped with cute packaging
BONUS: it works

about $2 @ Walmart
non greasy and light weight
good for all your parts but stamped perfect for your face.

Revlon really hits the lipstick spot.
My favorite is Siren (part of their super lustrous line)
It's just good stuff with great creamy pigmentation.

I mix this with Purity by Philosophy.
This is the best stuff on the planet for daily exfoliation.
$2.50 at Walmart. Can't beat it.

I like the way my skin feels dry and tight after use.
It's a good product for the summer when my skin is at it's oiliest.
It's a $1 and it works great followed by an oil free moisturizer.




The applicators these come with are absolutely useless*
and honestly the packaging is bulky and cheap.
The only reason to purchase to this product is for the product itself.
I know, who would have thought...
(this is my fav. shade: coffee shop)



I love the waterproof version  in onyx.
I tight line with this almost everyday.
STAYs put :)
