Not only am I a mom, but I’m a busy mom that’s on a tight budget. Beauty products are expensive so I try to make it as long as I can without having to purchase more. If I’m being honest, I cringe when my foundation is about to run out. Luckily, I get new products mailed to me each month with my Ipsy subscription which saves me a ton of money in the end. Ten dollars a month for 5 beauty products, y’all. It’s worth it! That is how I have came across my favorite products. By trying out different brands with Ipsy, I have found products I love and ones that I don’t. Knowing what I do like, I don’t have to spend a pretty penny on items to “try” only to be dissatisfied in the end. How many times have you bought foundation that was too dark or too light, the wrong shade of lipstick or mascara that clunked up your lashes? Sigh, I’ve been there too, so today I am sharing my favorite products with you!
