Looks for LE$$

So we all like to find a good bargain here and there, when it comes to being a savy shopper we tend to go to the sales. But what if we don't need to look for a GOOD SALE, or coupons, what if we can just simply get THE LOOK FOR LESS?

So here is MY personal opinion (Lizbeth Muriel) on  products. If you know me.. you will know that I am a girly girl, a mom and well.. a business woman  lady. Being able to save on some items so I can splurge on others is VERY important to me. We all enjoy the little luxuries, a nice handbag, winter boots ((even though in the RGV it's impossible to wear them and get your $$ worth without getting a stare down or two, since our supposed winter is 80 degrees.. LOL))

Enough blabbering, here is one of my FAVORITE items that I absolutely LOVE, that I would like to COMPARE to the MAC lipsticks and lip glosses. I've been an MAC lipstick and lip glosses user for at least 10+ years. I always had to buy the lip gloss/lip glass, lipstick and wear them both at once, that's not mentioning the lip balm I had to aply PRIOR to putting these on so my lips wouldn't look all dry.

I discovered these babies on one of my many trips to walgreens. They are exactly what they are called, LIP BUTTER. I was hesitant about buying them considering I had tried to give revlon a chance before and it creased tons & wearing that other lipstick I bought from them had to be worn with chapstick before. But NOPE, not these!! They go on smoothly and leave you that glossy look that a lip gloss would usually give you. So in my opinion it's a 2x1 deal, lip gloss and a lipstick.

Here is a picture of them on skin: karlasugar.net blog

What excited me the most, aside from the fact that I can save a pretty penny in the long run on this is that WALGREENS actually has them on sale pretty often. When I got to the register The lady told me that it was buy 1 get 2nd 50% off + there was a $1 off ((each)) lipstick on their coupon book (that they have at the entrance of the store).

So although buying "drugstore" makeup may not ve EVERYONES cup of tea (i'm a bit of a snob when it comes to foundation.. I will not experiment, I only use bare minerals) I think that these are worth a shot.  Don't you think?
