What's in a name?

If you are a woman, chances are you have purchased at least one beauty product if not hundreds in your lifetime. Have you ever wondered just because that $4 lipstick or $8 mascara you bought was just a waste of money because it didn't have the "Estee Lauder" brand name printed on the front product? Most likely the answer is yes. We live in a world where brand names like Lancome, The Gap, Tommy Hilfiger and Clinique are everywhere and selling like crazy just because what; they serve some sort of purpose in life? What, because you aren't popular if don't buy that Abercrombie & Fitch shirt? Or spend $50 on that Lancome foundation? I can tell you why most Americans opt to buy the more expensive finer things in life. That's because we live in a world where fashion and social media are more important than just running down to your local CVS or Target and purchasing the less expensive items. Let me tell you something, I worked in Sephora and Macy's as a Beauty Consultant and Beauty Manager and have even freelanced for weddings so I know exactly how you ladies feel about buying that Loreal blush; it's just not good enough. Right?... Wrong! One of my most favorite skincare products is from Aveeno, which is sold at CVS, Target and RiteAid for under $10. It's not about the brand name of a product or how much it costs but it is about the quality of it and what it's going to do for you! Here's some of the hottest products you can find without breaking your budget and are just as good as those exspensive products.
•Maybelline New York SuperStay 24 hour lip color $10
•Neutrogena Micromist Sunless Tan $11
•Rimmel London day 2 night mascara $10
•MAC waterproof eyeliner $14
Hope this helped!
