Save Over $100 by Swapping Out These 5 Products

Writer's picture: IYLIYL

College is not the richest time in our lives, I think we can all agree on that. After purchasing text books for the semester, food for the week, and paying your Netflix bill, often times there is just not enough money left in the budget for the release of Kylie Jenner’s new lipstick shade or Urban Decay’s new foundation. This may require us to get some of our makeup from Walgreens instead of Sephora. In this blog, I am going to give you a few tips and tricks on certain products that will give you a quality look without breaking the bank.



Mascara


Expensive: Too Face Better Than Sex: $25

Save: $15


This mascara by Maybelline is water proof and makes your eyelashes look so full! It stays on through rain or shine and is a really great swap for the Too Faced mascara.


Concealer


Expensive: Tarte Shape Tape Concealer: $27

Swap: L.A. Girl HD Pro Concealer: $4

Save: $23


This L.A. girl concealer gives full coverage!! It could honestly be used as a foundation. They offer so many different color options to perfectly match almost any skin tone.


Blush


Expensive: Too Faced Sweet Peach Papa Don’t Peach Blush: $30

Swap: Milani Rose Power Blush: $9

Save: $21


Milani’s blushes are amazing. I always go for a blush in a peachy shade because of my skin tone, and their blush is the best in comparison to the Too Faced peach line.


Lips


Swap: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream: $7

Save: $22


I love this lip cream!! It is both long-lasting and has such a nice creamy feel. Most matte lipsticks dry my lips out, but NYX offers this wonderful product that still keeps your lips feeling soft.


Foundation


Expensive: Urban Decay All Nighter Liquid Foundation: $40

Swap: ColourPop Natural Matte Foundation: $12

Save: $28


Okay, ColourPop is amazing!! All of their products are tested without animal-cruelty, which is a major thing for me, as well as offering such high quality! I absolutely love their foundation, as it offers full-coverage without feeling over-weighted on your face.


After swapping out these products for more affordable options in just these five categories, you would have already saved at least $109!!! These products offer a beautiful look without spending so much money just for a different name on the bottle.

Let us know if you try any of these products and fall absolutely in love with the brands like I have!

Thanks for reading!!
