[FACEit] sometimes drug store brand make-up is just as good as department store brands

Did you know that a lot of department stores own drug store make-up brands too?  Usually I'm the type of person to spend the extra money on something that I believe has a better value, but sometimes the cheaper version isn't such a bad idea.

Lancome makes a felt tip, liquid eyeliner that is sold for $22.  Loreal is a drug store brand owned by Lancome.  They sell the same product for less than $10.  The eyeliner applies just as well as the Lancome liner and lasts just as long.

If your loyalty remains with a department store brand like me, but you need to cut back on spending a little, you should see if they have a drug store brand.  You won't have to compromise on quality and the drug store is on your way home anyway!

[FACEit] pore cleansing strips are too expensive

The deep cleansing pore strips we've been purchasing can be made from two simple ingredients.  These strips are great, but they cost about $8 and only contain 6 strips.  Wether you don't feel like spending the money on them, or you'd like to try something new, here's a recipe I found so you can make them yourself.  All you need is unflavored gelatin and milk.  If you ask me, they work even better than the store bought strips I've tried.
The best part about the homemade strips is that you don't have to stick to one small area of your face, you can do whatever places on your face need it.  Heck, you can do your entire face if you'd like!  And like the strips, as you peel it off you can see all the junk stuck in the gelatin.  After you follow the instructions apply the solution fast because it dries quicker than you think!

[FACEit] Oprah knows a good smoky eye when she sees one

There are so many different ways to create a smoky eye effect but most of them don't work on me the way they're supposed to.  They never turn out right or the eye shape it works for just isn't mine.  I finally found a way that works for me though, Oprah's 6 Steps to a Smoky Eye.
The only changes I'd suggest so you can create a different look depending upon your outfit or eye color, is to switch up the lavender with different colors.
