$5.99 I got this Shampoo and Conditioner at my local supermarket. I have seen the price varying from $5.99 in several drugstores and supermarkets to $9.99 on Amazon, I paid about $5.99 for mine (maybe a bit less). I chose this one because the description mentioned it was for repair and condition and I do have damaged, curly hair. The claims are: Purezero Moroccan Argan Oil Collection infuses…

$12.99 I got this through my IPSY foundation and have already repurchase it. I keep about 2 sunscreens at hand at all times. My main expectation of sunscreens is not be greasy and that is fast absorbent and this sunscreen is both.

$9.00 This is a good everyday foundation that can be perfect for everyday makeup. I have oily skin so this foundation works for me very well. It keeps the oils sipping through at bay. The claims for this foundation are: this is a long-lasting and lightweight foundation leaves skin looking smooth, flawless, and with a matte finish. And it is a solid description of this foundation. Review: This…

$17.00 – $23.00 (depending on the store) I got this serum through the IPSY subscription. I paid about $3.99 and I have to admit I just finished my third one and opened my fourth.

It also claims the moisturizing hyaluronic acid serum helps plump and…

$42.00 I got this foundation through my IPSY subscription. I paid about $25.99 for it and I was happy I got it since I wanted to purchase it for a while. Of course, through IPSY is hard to get the right shade, but I got 315N (medium with neutral peach undertone). The shade was darker that I am used to, but it worked it out fine, specially during the summer months. I keep about 1-3 high end…

$22.99 I got this foundation at my local Sephora, the foundation was on sale (50% off) and I had a good experience with a previous Fenty foundation so I purchased. I paid about $11.99 for it.

I keep about 1-3 high end foundations in rotation at all times that I can trust will work on my oily skin, and this…

$4.99 – 5.99 I got this Hair Styling Gel at my local Whole Foods Market and have repurchased it several times, it also comes in travel size which I consistently buy for my travels. I have also found it on my local Kroger for slightly less ($.50 cents less). I chose this one because I have tried the shampoo and conditioners from PUREZERO and truly liked it (Review coming soon!). This Styling Gel…

$9.99 – $12.99 I got this face scrub at Walmart, but I bought it too from Ulta. This is the most consistent face scrub I have used in years. They have two the Dead Sea Minerals Avocado and the Sea Salt Coconut, and both are equally amazing. I pay from 9.99 – 12.99 depending on if the product is on sale. I have used this for about three years now and even though I have used many others in…

$4.99 I got this primer at ULTA and paid 4.99 for it which is also the price and their website. I usually use a primer with foundation and therefore primers are one item I tend to try a lot of primers. Essence can be tricky to get, I found it on Amazon, but other than online (Essence and Amazon), Ulta is the only store I could find it. I keep about 6 primers in rotation, and I tend to use them…
