Pricey Products that Deliver

Hola mi amigo! How are ya? I'm going to be sharing with you make products that are expensive as butt, yet really work. I have mentioned a few of these items in previous posts, but I thought I should reiterate their makeup goodness. Now enter makeup heaven.

MAC Lipsticks $15
These are my absolute favorite lipsticks even though I only own two. I have the colors Snob and Viva Glam Gaga. They just look stunning on the lips and feel so luxurious. They don't feather at all, which I have problems with drugstore lipsticks doing. Not to mention they smell so divine. One tube will last awhile as I find I don't need to keep reapplying. Plus there's always the Back to MAC program so you can score one for free!

Buxom Lip Products $19
I own three different types of Buxom lip products. I'm not a huge lip junkie so when I like a lip product it's a keeper. I own the lip cream in Cherry Flip, original lipgloss in Dani, and the Big and Healthy Lipstick in Sydney. All three of these products impress me so much. The cream offers so much color all while being a thin formula. The original lipgloss is more on the sheer side but its great on top of any lipstick for amazing shine. The lipstick is great because its a skinny stick so you can fill in your lips with it or use it as a regular lipstick.

Urban Decay Naked Palette $50
One of the most expensive makeup items I have ever purchased, but its so worth it. I have hit pan on 2/3 or the eyeshadows as I use them all the time. Great quality and pigmentation. The colors are perfect for everday eye looks.

MAC Rubenesque Paint Pot $18.50
This is gorgeous all over the eyes as a peachy, gold shade. Its longwearing and can be used as a base. The color is just so fantastic and unique. The formula is thin and easy to work with as well. Mine is much loved and I would repurchase it in a heartbeat. Would look absolutely stunning on blue eyes.

MAC Studio Fix Foundation Powder $27
I have talked about this a couple times because its one of my holy grail beauty items. Its my type of foundation as its natural, quick, and lightweight. It gives the most stunning finish and the coverage is easily manipulated by using different brushes/a sponge.

Benefit Watt's Up Highlighter $30
This may be cheating putting this in here as I haven't bought the full size because I got a sample size from Sephora as a birthday gift. But I will pick up the full size when I run out because its the best everyday highlighter I have used. Its  a beautiful golden champagne that I don't find too intense for everyday unlike my Mary Lou Manizer from theBalm. Absolutely gorgeous.

theBalm Cheek Products $19-24
I did a whole blog post featuring all theBalm products I own with reviews and swatches so check that out for more details on the Bahama Mama Bronzer, Mary Lou Manizer highlighter, and Hot Mama blush. http://aimfurstrange.blogspot.com/2013/07/makeup-brand-review-balm-cosmetics.html

I hope you enjoy and remember it's good to treat yourself ! Don't skimp on you !
