Beauty Steals to Save your Boot Budget!

So y'all, we know we need to look good from roots to boots so here are some of my favorite beauty steals to help save some extra dough to ass to your boot budget!  Who says drugstore makeup sucks? I am here to tell y'all that is NO LONGER THE CASE AT ALL!

Brushes!

ANY and all ELF brushes are worth it Boot Babes!! The Studio line (with black handles)  is only $3 each!! The white brushes are only $1 each and the new Beautifully Precise line is AMAZING!!! The $1 shader brush is just as great as the MAC 239 brush Boot Babes!

ELF shader brush! 


Face!

Y'all I must confess, I do not use regular moisturizer on my face! I use a body lotion but NOT any body lotion!  Compare the ingredients of Vaseline Renewal Age Redefining Body lotion to expensive creams and they are so similar! It works as good as REALLY expensive brands and is literally a fraction of the cost.



If you like mineral foundation like Bare Minerals, this is a TOTAL dupe! It is Wet n' Wild Natural Wear Mineral Foundation. You can get it just about anywhere.  I have used it off and on for years and can't tell a difference except in my pocketbook!

Wet n' Wild Natural Wear

If you like MAC's Studio Fix powder foundation or the Merle Norman powder foundation, this is the closest!! It is NYX Matte Not Flat Powder Foundation. I love it for a full coverage powder foundation.

If you need a GREAT HD finishing powder (not for photos) oh that is like the Makeup Forever HD Powder at a fraction of the cost, this is it Boot Babes!   It is NXY HD Finishing Powder. I LOVE IT!

NYX HD Finishing Powder

If you need a great concealer or correcting palette, this is my GO TO! I LOVE the ELF concealer and color correcting palettes! They are just like the expensive ones but budget friendly!

ELF Color Correcting Palette





THIS IS HANDS DOWN the best liquid concealer, high end or budget! It is AMAZING and there is a highlighter version too! It will not dry your under eye area and it is just magical Boot Babes!

Maybelline  Age Rewind Concealer

For bronzers, I LOVE the ELF bronzer!  They also come in a mineral version.

The Wet n' Wild Color Icon bronzer is also AMAZING and one compact will last you the rest of your life!!

ELF makes a MEAN blush and bronzer duo that is comparable to NARS. NO KIDDING y'all!

Also, the ELF blushes are a great blush that are similar to NARS in color payoff and texture!

I have to say, my favorite blushes are from NYX and to me they are super close to MAC. THEY ARE AMAZZZZZING!

EYES!!!

For a fun full color metallic palette, the BH Foil palette is AMAZING!! It is better than MANY expensive brands such as Urban Decay.

NYX can't be beat for a great eyeshadow! Their palettes and singles are the bee's knees! They are definitely on par with MAC.

ELF's cream eyeliner is a great dupe for MAC Fluidline! I love it!
