It's steal verses splurge day!!! Today, it's all about RED LIPS!!

 Every girl knows how very important a sale is, and getting a great deal, but my favorite is hearing about getting a great product at a great price! You feel like you have won the lottery!!!
 You know how it goes, you are sipping your coffee and hear the gorgeous gal sitting behind you chatting about her beauty "must haves" and mentions something along the lines of "BEST eyecream for under $20..or $1.99 and it's my favorite lip gloss ever!"  At that moment, your boyfriend could be proposing to you, but all you are thinking is MUST HAVE BEAUTY PRODUCT THAT THIS BEAUTIFUL WOMAN USES FOR ONLY $1.99....where the Hell is a pen and paper!!!

Am I right or am I right gals?

I have a list of my must haves... best cheapies and splurges that I adore and appreciate!! Every week I will pick one product and list them! 

Now, let's get one thing straight..you are allowed to splurge on things, that's not what this list is about..to convert you from Chanel to Wet & Wild. It's simply a list of items that I have used, found, or got the "down low" on over the years!!  I believe in all products, there is the right one for you.  The items you should stay loyal to...is a personal choice!!  If you have found the perfect one for you..stay!!!  I splurge on skin care, fragrance, and foundation.  You decide which items you prefer to "splurge vrs steal"  on!!  

But, come on....finding a great red lipstick for $2.00, could save your life!!

Since we are on the subject of red lipstick!!  I for one...LOVE this look and tend to wear bright lips to save on time in the A.M. It take 2 seconds to put lipstick on, and 30 minutes for me to do my eye makeup..I'll take the red lips and 25 extra minutes of sleep please!  And let's just say for the record...I'm not loyal to any one product except my skin care and foundation..I even cheat on my standing, signature fragrance from time to time!  I love to search, find and try new products..what gal doesn't?
So, yes..I'm a bit of a product whore...I'll try them all and move onto the next!!  But, I see nothing wrong with it!! Life is too short to be stuck in a rut.

my very early a.m. look.....large, black sunglasses and red lips.  You can't go wrong!! 

RED LIPS....these are my favorite cheapies and splurges!!

BEST cheapies...

mark. "make it rich" lip color crayon  in "hot sauce"  a pencil that is super easy to sharpen, you get an intense, full-coverage color that lasts for hours!!  $11 available at http://www.mymarkstore.com/ewolf

Wet & Wild "mega last"  lip color  in "Stop Light red 911D" A regular tube lipstick, it gives you that full color red and more of a matte shade which I like! $1.99 available at drug stores

BEST splurges....

Smashbox "Be Legandary" lipsick in "Legendary" ... It's a regular tube lipstick...I have the older version which is a shiny silver case, I do believe they just re-vamped the packaging.  This color is my "I want red lips...but not AS RED go-to shade"  It goes on glossy and stays a tad shiny and more sheer than the other red lip colors that I wear.   $25 available in Rochester at "About Face" or at "Sephora" online if you are not from our neck of the woods:)

NARS "Velvet Matte" lip pencil in "dragon girl"  Ok girls...this is THE ultimate red lipstick!!  you put it on, and it's not going anywhere!  Perfect for working gals that are too busy to have "touch up" breaks every 5 minutes...or for a night on the town.  LOVE the matte finish and very vibrant, intense red!!  And let's just say it...we all love the name too!!  $27 available in Rochester at "About Face"  or online at "Sephora."

Have fun, stay positive and true to yourself....
