I recently purchased the MAC Cream Color Base. Rather than purchasing it from the MAC store, I actually found it on Amazon for just fifteen dollars. I also saw it at Nordstrom for slightly more but since I did not mind waiting for it to ship, I went ahead …
HairOff Instant Eyebrow Shapers
I found these hiding near the hair removal products. I bought a box and couldn’t believe how great they were. First of all, they are a cold wax eyebrow hair remover, but so different from anything else I’ve tried.

Natural Look False Eyelashes (E.L.F)
Pros:
E.L.F Falsies are VERY CHEAP compared to other brands, probably the cheapest but most wonderful false eyelashes to buy at the price of $1.

E.L.F False Eyelashes is a real treasure, a product with surprisingly …

Zodiac Fleatrol Protein Conditioning Shampoo
