@just bee,

How much do those wipes in that size cost at Costco? I found that size at jet dot com for $35.

OH I found them online at Costco...$25..pretty cheap!Woman Happy


This is one of those items that shows up in the coupon book and I can't remember if it's an extra $5 off.  Either way, they're worth it.

Re: Your Favorite Inexpensive Products

All cosmetics I use regularly are inexpensive, so too many to list here.  What I use every night to remove all my other products:  Neutrogena Deep Clean Cream Cleanser in the big yellow tube.  About $5 at the supermarket. 

 

In cold, dry winter months:  Pond's Cold Cream.  Super cheap and super good.

@Irshgrl31201 can you describe the consistency of the Colourpop lipgloss- is it thick, thin, sticky? Does it have any scent? That color you posted looks pretty and like something I'd like. I am using up some of my other lipglosses before I buy more but these will probably go on my list to try. I really miss Kat Von D's lightning sheer lip glosses and always trying to find something to replace that HG gloss. In all these years, I still haven't found one! I hate when they get rid of things I love so much.


Hey @HappyDaze, I don't know how I missed your post. I was on earlier after you posted and didn't notice it. Oh well. 

 

Oh, the satin finish ones are great too! 

 

Anyway, no I do not find them sticky at all and I am hearing the same from most of the reviewers. They are really smooth and buttery almost. You can go on youtube to find ones that are a little more opaque as opposed to just gloss. A lot of girls there with the youtube channels are on it!!  The closest consistency I can think of would be NYX Butter gloss. I really love them Some are sheer and some are a little more opaque. That is good with me, I don't mind that. I haven't tried the matte yet but my daughter wears a bunch of them though and loves them and I think she looks great in them too.  I don't know why I am not into matte, I wore it in the 90s, maybe that is why. I do like how they look on some people, I guess I just feel with more mature lips that a little shine is better and does't draw attention to any lines. My lips are pretty good. I don't smoke or use a straw so I don't have any lines but I just like the way a little shiny gloss looks on me.

 

Hope that helps. I have honestly loved all the products I recieved. I LOVE the shadows and their consistency!

@mistriTsquirrel - If you like the shea butter by NOW Solutions, that company makes a lot of great products and supplements. I like their flouride-free toothpaste, although I wouldn't say it's inexpensive (but it's not horrendously expensive either).


@sandraskates

 

I really like a lot of their products too!!  I have their essential oils, and have tried various other products of theirs.  Some of my supplements are NOW and some of them are Solaray.

I've really been wanting to try out those Milani blushes.  I keep waiting for them to go on sale. 

 

Do they ever go on sale???

Lumene CC Cream

 

Lumene CC Cream.  Available at the drugstore and it goes on sale often enough to stock a couple tubes.  A little goes a long way and it doesn't turn me tangerine.  Skin looks and feels better.


@just bee

 

Is it fairly moisturizing?  What's the coverage like?

 

TIA

I'm in the high desert, so it's moisturizing enough for me.  Sometimes I mix it with Lumene's BB serum -- that's been a good combo with added luminosity and glide.  Coverage is good.  Don't need a lot -- I get by with a pea-size amount.

Re: Your Favorite Inexpensive Products

I make my own wipes using the DIY from Pinterest.  I use Bounty paper towels cut in half, baby wash and coconut oil.

Thanks!!  I think I will look for it next time I'm at the store.

 

Did you know that people don't get a notification when you quote their posts, unless you "@" them?  I wasn't sure if you knew.  Somebody had to tell me that, because I was wondering why people weren't answering me when I quoted them (without tagging them).
