That’s when I discovered the life-saving Elf Cosmetics!Įyes Lips Face, better known as E.L.F., is a line of cosmetics sold at $1 – $6 price points. And what caught my eye was one particular brand that had products for $1 and at the most expensive, $6. Just like most people pinching pennies would have done, I went to Target and zeroed in on the cheapest price tags I could find in the make-up section. Of course, make-up shouldn’t make you beautiful, but let’s face it: I got tired of feeling haggard and wild 5 days out of the week. I started to ration my make-up and save it for days when I went out, and made the hard decision of being ugly and wearing no make-up for casual days like school.īut, I’m sure as most of you understand, it gets tiring to feel ugly all the time. I had my beauty staples, and I stuck to them – for years.Īt a certain point I became so broke that I couldn’t afford to use higher-end makeup products for every day. If I had a sort of special occasion, I would use red lipstick, slap on some individual lashes and call it a day. Wing-tip eyeliner, no eyeshadow, blush/bronzer, and gloss (with of course, my brows, mascara, and foundation). The problem I had was that I’ve always done the same style of make-up since high school, so I had no reason to buy more makeup I wouldn’t use. For make-up lovers, there’s no problem with that. I’ll admit, I used to spend a lot of money on make-up at Sephora.
