Drug Store Bargain Buy Week!

Today is the first day of "Drug Store Bargain Buy Week"

I've been testing and trying a TON of drug store brand products, some were amazing and made the top 7 on this list and some were not so great!

Make sure to check the blog every day this week (starting at 9am each day) to find out that day's top drug store brand pick!!

Sunday's Pick is a limited edition product, so get to a Walgreens, Rite Aid or Grocery Beauty Dept (large retailers only for this one) ASAP to pick this up, you'll want one of each!!

It's Maybelline's Great Lash Mascara in limited edition colors for summer!


Retailing at $6 each, these are a STEAL and that's a good thing, because you need all four colors, trust me!

The two most popular ones are the purple and blue


but don't overlook the teal!


Colored Mascara is ALL the rage this summer!

For drama:


For full color and drama:


And a new way to wear it in 2013: Mixing colored mascaras:


When applying colored mascara, 'wiggle' the wand at the base of the lashes and 'shimmy' it up to really coat lashes to make the color stand out


What's more: I've tried

MAC ($16)


Estee Lauder ($26)


Make Up For Ever ($23)


AND Chanel ($32)


And all you're missing out on with the Maybelline is some of the color options (no yellow, etc) but you're NOT sacrificing on quality or color pigment!  AND....you can get all 4 for the price of one Chanel - so I say go for it! 

Bonus tip:  if you DO want to go for a bold and lighter color, like the Chanel yellow, on the very tip of lashes, use the tip of the wand to apply!
