Beauty on Budget
Posted by AGroup in Just me on Friday, February 26, 2010 4:23 PM
One of my most cherished memories from my adolescence is the seasonal trip to the Clinique counter that my mother and I would make together.
I don’t remember why Clinique became our cosmetic company of choice, though I continue to be happy with their products to this day. I imagine my Mom had identified it as her favorite at some point and so naturally I adopted it as my own, as well.
My mother always seemed to intuit when I needed some one-on-one time or when I could use a pick-me-up and off we would go Nordstrom. It was incredibly thoughtful and generous of her.
More generous, in fact, than I realized at the time. She still occasionally sends me my favorite products at Christmas or on my birthday which delights me to no end because high-end cosmetics don’t currently have a place in my budget (though I must admit that even the strictest budget might not be able to keep me and my Tenderheart apart).
Just this morning I noticed that my eyeliner is quickly running out so, keeping my new budget in mind, I’ve decided a trip to my local drugstore is in order.
The only problem is that since I’ve always relied on my rotating stash of Clinique products I’ve never taken the time to get to know Miss Maybelline or Mr. Max Factor! I know there are treasures to be found at the Walgreens up the road but I haven’t the faintest idea how to identify them! That’s where you come in!
Would you share the names of your very favorite drugstore-variety beauty products with me? Pretty please? I’d be forever indebted to you!
Thanks, girls, and have a lovely weekend!
