Save or Splurge? - Make Up Edition!
1. Foundation for everyday wear
Both these foundations have a very light colour option perfect for pale skin like myself. If you've got super light skin, you'll know all too well about finding the perfect pale shade!
Both are easy to apply and have good oil control. Good coverage level for imperfections.

2. Mascara
SPLURGE
Besame 1920 Cake Mascara $33.95
For the price, this mascara is actually a budget friendly option because unlike regular mascaras, you can use this one until it's gone. Having the seperate brush that you wash after each use, it's a hygienic option. Bonus - you can also use it for eyebrows and eyeliner!
SAVE
Maybelline Colossal Cat Eyes $16.49
The thin shaped brush on this mascara makes it easy to achieve a perfect cat eye look with little effort. It doesn't clump and I've always been happy with the length of wear I get out of this one. My new go-to cheap mascara!
3. Blush/Conturing
SPLURGE
A quick sweep of this display worthy blush is all you need for day or night. It's already illuminated so it's one step to gorgeous flushed cheeks!
SAVE
A great palette for a quick contour! Can't fault this one - great wear and easy to blend.
4. Lip Colour
SPLURGE
Besame Victory Red Lipstick $29.95
This is the holy grail, perfect pin up red! The staying power of Besame lipsticks is incredible - they are so highly pigmented, they really do last and last.
This shade is a replica of an authentic 1941 lipstick commissioned by the American Military. It really is the perfect red!
SAVE
A perfect entry level lipstick if you're unsure about what colours suit you. This one provides good wear and doesn't leave your lips uncomfortably dry. This is my favourite brand for trying out new colours to see if I'll actually wear them.
That's all for today! Let me know in the comments what your favourite make up products are - would love to hear from you!
