If you only had $50. to spend on makeup

What would you buy????

oh man... Some taylor made eye shadows, EM blushes, a new drugstore mascara and 1-2 mac e/s with the change...

a palette!

That is a good question. Right now I am running low on a few of my staples, so I would use the $50 to stock up and then maybe buy one special thing I've been wanting to treat myself to! Staples: ~Clinique Glosswear for Lips in Black Honey...$13.50 ~BE Mineral Veil...$18.00 ~Mary Kay lip liner in Metallic (have to buy it on eBay because it's discontinued--so prices vary)...$5.00 Treat: ~Urban Decay eyeshadow, not sure which color because I covet them all!...$15.00 Ok, I went 50 cents over! LOL!

Revlon Skinlights Illuminator-20$ Maybelline Dream Matte Mouse-10$ Maybelline Volume Xpress Mascara-7$ Wet n' Wild Concealer-2$(haha, I'm trying to spend wisely here lol) Covergirls Single Eyeshadow in Mink-4$ Rimmel Kohl Eyeliner-5$ *hoot* I put so much thought into that haha.

Mac pigments! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

With 50 bucks, a full look (w/o primers): Everyday Minerals Starter Kit - 28,00, with: 2 2 Flawless Foundations, Weekend getaway Blush, Sunlight color corrector, Balancing Dust finishing powder and Everyday Kabuki Nyx Eyeshadow Trio in any of these colors: Aquamarine #40, Anti Diva #41, Guru #43, Spring Leaf/Lime Green/Green Tea #08, Orange/Golden Orange/Peach #11, Golden/Rust/Walnut Bronze #12, Barely There/Champagne/Root Beer #19, Sweet Lagoon/Aqua/Ocean #23, Shimmer/Peach/Copper #24, Plat Pink/Salmon/Bronze #27, Olive Grove #32, Lake Moss #33, Serengeti #44, Ultra Chic #35, Shangri-La #37 Nyx blush in Pinky (around 5-6 dollars) TMM loose eyeshadow samples (1 dollar each) Good bargain, huh?

My cousin got her Clinique GWP 2 days back and I tried their e/s which was included in that and I am absolutely in love with theIR TEXTURE and their pigmentation! If only I am not on a no-buy on Dept.store makeup I would definately buy the Clinique "All about eyes" set which is some $32.And then I would buy their blush!

ditto!

MAC eyeshadows!

Iman Oil Blotting Powder $13.99

L'Oreal E/S Quad "Earthscapes" $6.99

Great Lash Mascara $5.50 or L'Oreal's Voluminous $3.99 (if on sale)

Nars Multiple Orgasm set II , its $49! I might be getting it for x-mas!

If i had to start from scratch w/onli $50, I'd get: -EDM's starter kit (less than $30) -Prestige liquid liner in black -BonneBell l/g (a nude one) ...still have some extra cash left... hmm .. i'll think about it .. lol

Same here, I love them!

For $50? hmm...the essentials... Stila Illuminating Powder Foundation refill ~ $23 CG Lash Exact Mascara ~ $6.50 or Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascara ~ $6.50 CG Incredifull Lipcolor in a nice deep berry or wine shade ~ $6.00 Stila blush pan in Hint ~ $14 That's $0.50 under! And if I bought at Target, I might have a couple bucks leftover to get some snacks. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'd spend it on a full set of useful makeup: 1. Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation-$7 2. Cover Girl FreshComplexion Concealer -$3 3. NYC Pressed Powder-$3 4. NYC Blush-$2 5. Rimmel Eyeliner-$4 6. Milani Eyeshadow Quad-$5 7. Max Factor LP or Cover Girl LE-$7 8. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss-$7 So... I did that in $37. I'd use the remaining $13 to get a another Milani eyeshadow quad, Milani Luminous blush, and a different color eyeliner.

I'd only get one palette for $50 here.

Hmmm... the bare necessities MAC Studio Fix - $24 MAC Fix+ - $15 MF Lash Perfection - $4 (on sale) WnW blush - Naive - $2 Jordana eye kohl - $1 BOnne Bell liplites in cappuccino - $4 That doesn't even include brushes! lol
