Best beauty splurge?

[cmlnkb]

I am usually very frugal, especially when it comes to beauty products. However sometimes you find that one product you must have!!! Well my best beauty splurge is my 3D Mascara!!! I have never in my life been able to get such long beautiful lashes with any other mascara. It is simply the best. What is your splurge???

Either my moisturizer or makeup brushes.

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment. I haven't found anything that works like it and lasts. Also Urban Decay Naked Palette eyeshadow. Worth the money!

Fresh sugar lip treatment sounds amazing!

Urban Decay eyeshadow primer! Also the UD Naked pallets. I love my Lancôme eye makeup remover. It lasts forever!

lipstick from Red Apple lipstick. i am a celiac and they are gluten free! plus vegan, paraban free, and made in the US. i also fell in love with their eyeshadows. the mascara is just too pricey for me. for that i use buxom from sephora since its been my fav for a few years now.

but seriously their lipstick is amazing color wise and the formula on some of them is super creamy. today is actually the last day of their sale and i keep adding things to my cart and leaving. i spent about $50 a few months ago on new fall colors, but they get me every time they come out with new colors.

I wanted the 3 D mascara to be my splurge, it made my eyes beet red and very irritated so I had to return it. No current make up splurge.

Guerlain Rouge Automatique lipsticks, Hourglass Powders, Urban Decay Naked 1, 2, or 3 eye palettes, Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliners, Tarte Amazonian Clay Blushes.

Stila Mile High mascara! That is more than I've ever paid for mascara ($25) but I finally found my one. I've spent more than that trying so many cheaper brands, trying to find the right one. It gets mixed reviews online but I love it. Lengthens & thickens & stays ON until I remove it.

I had the same problem with the younique 3D mascara. :/ I actually ordered a cheaper off brand one from ebay or Amazon (don't remember which right now because the same one was sold on both) and didn't have that problem. I can post the brand for you if you're interested? I'll have to go look and see what it is. Now my problem is that I'm too lazy most days to bother with it. Haha. I'm not a big every day make up wearer though.

My splurges right now are "Hope in a Jar" moisturizer, Benefits "They're Real" mascara, Urban Decays "Naked Skin" liquid foundation and I just got the Nars "Sheer Glow" in the dewy finish for when I want something a little heavier. It's so pretty on.

For the ladies who mentioned the UD Naked palettes you should check out the Coastal Scents "Revealed" palette. They usually do a Black Friday sale from what I've heard and you can get them from their website for $10. If you google something like "coastal scents revealed swatches naked dupe" there are several beauty bloggers who have compared all of the shades. I love mine.

Yes that is the brand that I had the problem with. Yes I would love to know what you tried next but it's time for your honeymoon I can wait have a magical time.

I love Buxom mascara- I also tried the Younique and it also irritated my eyes. A lot. And I didn't get the results I wanted. UD Naked is on my Christmas list!

I splurge on "they're real" mascara too! I swore I never would spend that much on mascara but Benefit convinced me!

I've also found IT cosmetics CC cream. I personally love it and think it makes my skin appear better. I don't even wear foundation anymore.

I said the same thing! Then I bought the sample size because I've been on a mascara kick lately and I know I'm going to have to buy the full size when I'm done now. Haha.

Days when I want something on my face but don't feel like doing full foundation I actually use Elf's Tinted Moisturizer from Target. It's one of my favorites honestly, plus it only costs $3!

Buxom mascara is my favorite! Also really like Smashbox mascara

I am so sick of everyone and their mother trying to sell that Younique makeup. It's expensive and I doubt it's as good of a quality they make it out to be

I switched from bareminerals foundation to Kat Von D, it is amazing! Well worth the $34 price tag

I just bought an Urban Decay 24/7 pencil eyeliner and I love it! I will never be without it. Also ordered the Naked Basics palette and I can't wait to get it to try it.

Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer, Trish McEvoy BB Cream, and Diorskin Forever.

Thank you! I'm really excited! DH is military though, so he's at work this week until Wed. Plenty of time for me to read some trip reports to keep myself from going crazy with anticipation! Haha.

The brand I have is called Love Alpha. I was going to link to the amazon and makeupalley review pages for you but I don't have enough posts. Sorry!

You do still have to be careful applying the fibers so they don't get in your eyes, but when I applied the Love Alpha kind correctly it didn't bother my eyes.

If anyone is interested in blackfriday sephora always has really nice $10 deals on brand named stuff. Last year I got a nice Stila eyeshadow pallet for $10, then a set of two bareminerals lip products for $10

My favorite is Too Faced Better Than False Lashes Mascara. It give me long lashes with out clumping or flaking and it was the best $30 I've ever spent. Ulta is a very dangerous store for me to go in.
