Beauty on a budget - cheap alternatives

Hey guys!

So if you are cheap, like me, don't be ashamed! I don't like to spend $100 on make up every time I walk into Sephora. Buuuutt it does happen....often. Good thing is, it pays off! Sometimes I even get things for FREE. Yes. Free. I'm talking, no purchase necessary free! 

How? *you ponder*

Sign up for the Sephora Beauty Insider. It's really that simple. 

From free samples, to free gifts on your birthday. They are usually a sample size, but good thing a little goes a long way with makeup. 

Ulta is another good place to sign up for the rewards! 

Here are some of the samples I've gotten from Sephora in the past couple weeks. All for free. Freeeeeee! I'm favorite F word ☺️ 

Bare Minerals - acne prone skin power w/ brush 

Sephora - lip gloss rouge and "The Mascara"

GlamGlow - FlashMud Brightening Treatent 

Benefit - The POREfessional License to Blot 

After you spend a certain amount you can become a VIB! With every purchase you collect points that can be used towards other sample products. 

It's okay to be frugle! Just keeping it pretty honest. 

Sensitive Skin / Bare minerals powder foundation

My sensitive skin has always been a problem for me. 

But, I've been looking for a powder foundation, since it is 10 times quicker than liquid. Bare minerals has always been an admired talked about brand. 

So I went to Sephora to check it out and see how it looked with my skin tone. 

The color was beautiful, with decent coverage of my dark spots for the amount I tried on.

Excited about it and how lightweight it was, I went ahead and bought some! 

Unfortunelty the next day my face broke out in a horrible rash. Not saying the Bare Minerals makes a bad product, I loved it. Just beware if you have sensitive skin. Try it on a small area, and see if your skin reacts. Very sad that I had one :(
