Anyone check out the Payless Beauty selection yet? Yes, your local shoe store has cosmetics, whoa!

I picked up a few pieces and I’ve been busy exploring a little bit to see what sorts of products are worth your dollar and whether you need ‘em or not.

Today I have one of the Unforgettable Moments Lip Balms in Dewy Rose. It’s cute little pot of balm for $3.99, could prove a sweet budget fine.

Let’s check it out!

Collagen wash, one of Asia’s best sellers. Collagen Wash or Foaming Facial Washes are a pretty hot commodity within Asia. Every brand has one. I have literally dozens of the damn things under my sink, in my vanity cabinet, etc….Since I’m such a fond fan of Asian Beauty, owning several collagen washes isn’t any great surprise.

Now we don’t really have this type of cleanser at the drugstore here in the US. Normally our cleansers range in the foaming gel variety or creams. Now if you’ve always wanted to try a traditional Asian foaming cleanser, you might be interested in Garnier Nutritioniste Moisture Rescue Fresh Cleansing Foam as it sports a very similar formula to Asian collagen and foaming cleansers plus it’s a formula that keeps face hydrated.

Check it!

L’Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara is the latest mascara to hit the drugstore market. It’s a mascara to millionize your lashes, whoa…..(do I sound like Joey from Blossom when I do that?).

No but seriously I totally want a million lashes, hells to the yes sirree! Gimme a million lashes. Make them full, make them fat, make them flutter.

Does it work?

Jump!

I have dark circles, fine lines, and puffiness that I really want erased so I can appear brighter, fresher, and wider awake which is why I’m constantly purchasing and rotating endless concealers, in the hopes, that I’ll finally come across “the one”.

On my travels through budget land I came across NYX Concealer Magic Wand and decided, hey, why not, cheap concealing power, let’s try.

Here are my thoughts!
