Great Cheap Buys: My June Favorites

This summer has been one of the best I have seen for some great affordable make up that hits on the seasons hottest looks. Beauty doesn't have to be name brand and expensive. I was shopping around ULTA the other day and snagged some great buys. 
Many people have no idea that ULTA has an ULTA professionals section in the store with all kinds of make up products and are just as good as the expensive name brands(not just ULTA brand look for ULTA Professionals way different quality). This season there are a lot of make up sets being sold by beauty stores and these are great for the average woman that wants to expand her collection. 

Here are my June Favorites!

-Sephora's new "Colorista Custom Makeup Palette" comes with 40 eye shadows, 5 cream liners, 15 lipstick/lip glosses, 4 blushes, and 2 bronzers. This contains colors to create nude natural looks all the way to colorful fierce runway looks for a night out. This comes with a removable compact that you can pop the makeup into to take it on the go. (Value $155)


-Sephora sponsored Beauty in a Box featuring Too Faced "Endless Summer" composition. This is limited edition and also contains a how to guide for looks. The box contains shadow insurance, "Lovey Dovey" shadow quad, sun bunny bronzer, glamor gloss, lashgasm mascara(black), and tanning bed in a tube. This is everything you need all summer from shadows to self tanning lotion your sure to have a complete summer look. (Value $120)

-Smashbox Cosmetics "Softbox Eye Palette" contains everything you need to create a soft natural eye look. This palette features 9 shadows, 2 creamy liners, eyelid primer, and a double ended brush. Also contains a look book and how to create three separate looks day to night. This is easy to cary and you can go from a day to night look with ease. (Value $181) Definite summer must have.

-Revlon's Illuminate palettes are amazing! They come in sets of four cream colors that all compliment each other. These are great for summer since they are easy to apply and you can create effortless look with just your fingertips! 



ULTA Professional's line is great for getting cheap but effective beauty products. These are four of my favorite.






ULTA Professional's "Divine Lashes Lash Growth Serum" is a great alternate to spending a lot of money on Latisse or other lash products to help create healthy growing lashes. You apply at night after washing your face to your upper lash line to promote healthy long lashes. 


ULTA Professional's "Eye Primer" works great if not better than most high name brand primers. It comes in a nice container that allows you to use a brush to apply. It also dries very fast and holds eye shadow all day long. Most primers run $18- $30 dollars and this one is $12. Can't beat a deal like that.


ULTA Professional's "Pro Hydro Primer" Is one I can compare to Smashbox's "Photo Finish Primer" and it works just the same except adds hydration to your skin for people with dry skin this is perfect before powder foundation for an easy smooth finish. Summers tend to dry us out so this is a perfect primer for your foundation at an unbelievable price.


ULTA Professional's "Professional Secret Weapon Concealer" is perfect for under your eyes to brighten your summer look. You can use it even without foundation to make your eyes pop, hide dark circles and cover and blemishes.
Urban Decay has some great summer must haves and here are my June Favorites:


Urban Decay's "Naked Palette" has 12 gorgeous neutral eye shadows that range from light tans to dark grey/blues with an array glitter, shimmer and matte colors to choose from. This also includes a shadow brush and potion eye primer. You can go from office neutrals all the way to night out sultry smokiness. 


Urban Decay's "24/7 Cream Eye Liners" are perfect for achieving this years hottest runway make up trends colorful eyes. Many designers are using colorful popping colors for eye liners and you can look just like the models. There are easy to apply and color last all day and night. There is also a pack for $38 featuring all colors of 24/7 liner.


Urban Decay's "Urbanglow" is a great cream face highlighter. This allows you to accent your facial assets you want others eyes to go toward. Great for cheek and brow bones. There are four shades of Urbanglow and each can be used on any skin tone. Go check them out!


Urban Decay's " Lip-Primer Potion" is perfect this season because bright lip colors are in. It is hard for lip glosses and sticks to stay on. This applied before those will help brighten as well as keep your color on longer.
