Happy Monday All, and Happy June as well!
As summer approaches full speed ahead, so does the hot summer days and nights. This past week, I completely gave up with touching up my make up, because what’s the point?
But what if you’re a bride to be and you can’t give up on you’re flawless wedding look? And to make matters worse, what if you have a limited budget and can’t afford a make up artist or expensive makeup that lasts all day?

All of these products have been given 4.5-5 and are highly rated to be the best make up for those on a budget. All prices are current and a majority of the products have links and locations that take you directly to the online pages. I tried to keep all locations to one place for a one stop shopping trip. There are certainly lower prices elsewhere. Please feel free to look over the reviews and decide for yourself!
