Spring cleaning is a time for “out with the old and in with the new” attitude. Ladies, that means the same thing for your make-up bag. Spring is a time to play around with those bright and vibrant colors that you cant wear any other time of year. Make-up can definitely be expensive when you make your exciting, yet stressful, trip to Ulta or Sephora to buy the best quality cosmetics. But the truth is some of the best looks you will be working with this season are right at your local drug store for an insanely good price!

 

Maybelline’s Rebel Bloom Lipsticks ($7.49)

Pastels are making a huge comeback! With 10 vivacious shades these lipsticks are perfect to add to any look you want to rock this Spring. The secret to pulling off these colors in your make-up look is to go with a neutral eye to give room for a bold and vivacious color in your lips.

 

Maybelline’s Fit Me Bronzer ($6) 

For the upcoming months, it is all about having a fresh, natural and bronzed look as we head into the warmer weather. Highlight you cheeks with a bronzer like this one that will blend with your skin tone to give you a natural golden look. 

 

NYX Gel Liner ($9.00)

 

Eyeliner is the beauty item that you must have in your make-up bag at all times. This Spring it is all about keeping you eyes basic yet bold. This liner and smudger will give you the freedom to wing out your liner out or smudge to it perfection to give yourself the perfect smokey eye. Note: the bolder you make your eyeliner, the more natural the rest of you make-up should be. 

 

NYX Soft Matte Gloss ($6)

This is one of the best matte lip glosses you will ever buy. It is extremely affordable which will have you buying them by the handfuls! They are lightweight and go on smoothly to give you the perfect matte finish that everyone is obsessed with these days. With over 20 shades, it will be difficult to choose which ones you will take home first! What the heck, collect them all!

 

Covergirl Eyeshadow Quads ($7.99)

Less is more with make-up, and with a simple eye shadow pallet with shades that can give you a natural look with a little boldness, this is a drugstore snatch you have to have. Make-up pallets can be expensive, and to be honest there really is no need to search for a full pallet for over $30. You can play with these four colors any way you want by going subtle to bold any time you want!

 

 

L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Mascara ($7.29)

This is definitely one of the best mascaras on the market and it will finish off any make-up look with big bold lashes that will make you eyes pop! It is sometimes hard to find a great mascara that will get that job the done for a good price and this is a product that at least deserves a trial run.
