As you gear up and shop for back to school, these five budget-friendly beauty picks really work...and won't break the bank!
Covergirl LashBlast Length Mascara: You loved the original? I love this new formula even more! The new Lashblast Length Mascara uses a combination of a formula that contains nylon fibers and a Super-Length brush to create ultra long lashes. I find the this new brush to be much easier to work with than the original LashBlast. The formula is smudge and smear proof and removes easily. Covergirl LashBlast Length Mascara will be available at mass-market retail outlets nationwide beginning in September OR you can take advantage of a special presale now by going to COVERGIRL.COM/lashblastlength.
eos Lip Balm Spheres: I'm obsessed with this little ball of lip balm! The eos Lip Balm Smooth Spheres hydrate and moisturize lips with a USDA certified-organic formula that contains Vitamin E, shea butter and jojoba oil and taste amazing. Comes in Honeysuckle Honeydew, Summer Fruit and Sweet Mint and retails for only $3.29. If you try one, you'll be hooked. eos Lip Balm Spheres are available at Walgreens, Rite Aid, SpaceNK and Duane Reade.
Lubriderm Daily Moisture Lotion: It's no secret that as we change seasons, our skin has a tendency to get drier. I've been using LUBRIDERM®
Daily Moisture Lotion, which is specially formulated with vitamin B5 and other skin essential moisturizers
to improve the moisture barrier for visibly healthier skin. The
lightweight formula relieves dry skin and prevents dryness from reoccurring
throughout the day, leaving skin feeling soft and smooth. There is also a formula that has SPF 15 that I can also recommend. At $7.99 for 16 oz., it's a great value. Lubriderm Daily Moisture Lotion (and other Lubriderm lotion formulas) is available at national food, drug and mass merchandisers.
TRESemme 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray: I've been so impressed with this finishing spray, it's hard to believe that it retails for under $5.00! The formula is humidity-resistant and the nozzle distributes an even mist while adding shine and hold without buildup or flakes. I love the fact that it really does give you great hold at a budget price. TRESemme 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray is available at food, drug and mass market retailers nationwide with a SRP of $4.49.
