Drug store Cosmetics

So, im not a huge fan of buying make-up at places like wal-mart, or target, or wal-greens. but i will say from time to time i pick up a few things from there. There are some good products that you can work with, that are really close to the lines the carry at Sephora or Mac. but that is not the point of this blog.

So, my loving grandmother gave me a 50 dollar gift card to Wal-mart, for christmas. and i thanked her so much. cause i love her, and it was really sweet. I Walked into wal-mart and wondered around for a bit and was like, oh ill just stock up on some cool eyeshadows, grab my mascarra, and see if anything else catches my eye... Walking through all the make-up there where some really cute things, some new lines out that i thought i might try and then, i realized something. where are all the tools to put make-up on? where are all the brushes? I walked up and down each aisle, scanning from top to bottom, and the only ones i saw where the cheap 2 dollar kit that N.Y.C. had. and those where like ridiculously cheap. you'd be better off using your fingers and toilet paper.

They have all this make-up and nothing to put it on with, so it got me thinking, how do you apply your make-up? I am lucky enough that i have grown up in the beauty industry, and have been taught the wrongs and rights of things, but what about the everyday woman?

ladies, if you are serious about your make-up lasting, and your skin being healthy, please used the right tools. you should have in your make up bag, sponges for foundation, and angled flat brush for eyeliner and brows, and a eyeshadow brush..... go to Sephora, they are not to expensive, and are worth the investment. would you want a doctor to perfrom on you with just his fingers? lol

  1. There ARE sponges and brushes at Walmart,but those things can develop bacteria.If they aren't washed frequently,you are putting yourself at risk for pimples.I prefer to use a cotton swab that I can just toss so bacteria doesn't build up.
