I bought the brown to dye my brows and lashes, I was tired of looking washed out, and of having mascara smear all over my face. My lashes look fabulous. I didn't tel my daughter what I did, and asked her how my eyes looked and she said 'like you're wearing lots of mascara, but your lashes aren't clumping together". I was thrilled, I have very long, very thick, naturally blonde lashes so the dye is a godsend for me. However, my brows didn't fare as well. For some reason the dye took better on the parts of my brows that are already a darker blonde than the rest, leaving the palest blonde, well, blonde. So I have a mottled look. I went to town with my tweezers on the wild hairs that are now brown (didn't notice them before) and I plan to put moisturizer on the darkest parts of my brows overnight and see if any of the excess color comes off.

Some of the ideas have come from books, although at this moment I cannot remember which ones for sure, some came from readers here and others I "invented" myself. Thanks for leaving a comment. If other readers don't like my suggestions, hopefully they will find something they like better at your blog. =D Kim - That’s okay, I have never claimed to be a makeup expert.

It is amazingly cheap. I just ordered some more, and I got a year's supply of foundation, concealer, and eyeshadow, and a lipstick, and I paid $18, with shipping. It has made such a difference in my skin, too. My skin likes bismuth-free mineral makeup far more than anything else I've tried. For brushes and cases, I get everything from e.l.f. Are they the best quality? No. Do they work well? Yes. And they are $1 each, so you really can't go wrong. And my final secret... instead of mascara, I dye my eyelashes with Swiss O Par eyelash dye. Less toxic than mascara, and easy- you dye once every few months. Costs $16 for a year's supply. That's everything I know about frugal makeup.

That's good to know, because with lipstick and such, you can just never tell about color. Didn’t know that about Rite Aid.

Since my teen years, I used powder blushes--usually Clinique--but for the past couple of years (I'll be 40 this year), my skin has been getting drier and powder blush had begun looking . . . like powder. I wanted to play around with some other formulations, so I grabbed a couple of cheap items at Target, assuming I'd trade up later. No way--I'm sold! This stuff is fabulous. It looks totally natural, is easy to use, and stays on all day. The color is perfect. I recommended it to a friend with more golden skin, and it looks great on her, too. I think it costs $7/tube.
