So, I have a small obsession with beauty products, but I hate going to MAC and spending something like 20 dollars on a small eye shadow. I don't even really enjoy spending 10 bucks on something from target. The thing is, I know that, like fashionable shoes, cars, and many other products, you get what you pay for. So, the mission was to find quality products I could use on a regular bases and not have to sell my kidney to afford. And then I discovered E.L.F. at Target. Most of their products are 1 dollar. Yes, ONE DOLLAR. Some are 3, and a few are 6, but for the most part, 1 is what you're going to pay. I now have 6 makeup brushes, some mascara, tons of eye shadow, some blush, a palette of presses powder, some fake lashes, liquid eyeliner, some lip gloss and a package of makeup remover. I LOVE the products. They're not of the highest quality I've ever used, but they are certainly good. And for the price? Sheesh! Gotta love 'em!
So here is today's experiment. I was going for a sort of updated vintage look. Don't mind my pictures, the camera isn't great...
The eyes: black reflective eye shadow, with nude shadow on the upper lid, and liquid liner for a thin cat eye effect
I also blended some white into the corners and underneath
(for some reason my brow pencil is showing up red in these pics!!)
The finished product, at a glance.
Products used:

TAH DAH! I can do makeup when I put my mind to it!
