I updated all of my makeup this weekend and I'm so excited to share three low cost/drugstore finds that helped me keep the total cost down and work great so far. I did some research ahead of time since I knew I was running out of my expensive makeup and was worried about the idea of replacing basically everything at once.

#1 - Concealer: Neutrogena Health Skin Brightening Eye Perfector. At $14 ($12 in the rest of the country) this replaced my $50 Chanel Lift Lumiere. I've always had dark circles under my eyes and I now also need something that won't crease in my fine lines and this totally does the trick. It's also easier to use since the Lift Lumiere pumps out a lot at once even if you press it lightly, so I would waste a big gob of it every morning. Overall I can't tell the difference between the two after wearing it all day and the Neutrogena is actually a better match for my skin color.

#2 - Eye Shadow: Bare Minerals Eyecolor - $14 for one pot of color, I bought Vanilla Sugar. I usually buy Lancome or Bobbi Brown eyeshadow so even though this wasn't a drugstore buy it was about 1/2 the price of what I usually pay. I like the color just as much and it's easier to use as well.

#3 - I also regularly use Neutrogena sensitive skin moisturizer which I started buying instead of Kiehls months ago when I realized DH was using it as well and we needed to replace it every couple of weeks which was getting expensive. It's about 1/2 the price and works just as well for day and night.
