Show and Tell: Beauty Routine- cheap and low maintenance

I am linking up with Momfessionals for beauty routines!

 My beauty routine used to be much more involved, but at this stage of life it a matter of doing as much as I can as quick as I can.  Plus I have SUCH a hard time spending a lot of money on make-up.  Here is what I do on a typical day.  Of course I would take it up a notch for special occasions.

Here is the before

The first thing I do is use this moisturizer suggested by Dr. Oz. (ha).  I really love the way it makes my face feel and it's $5!

These are the everyday products. In no particular order.

1. Clinque blush

2. I LOVE the Almay eye liner and one coat mascara which requires several coats for my blond eye lashes,

3. I use Wet and Wild eyeshadow and I can't tell you how much I love it.  It is $2.99 and it is comparable to the Naked pallet.  Read a review here.

4. I use base and bronzer (time for some new) from Beauticontrol.

And here you have it.  Lip stick gets applied in the car on the way to work.

I also use this skin care from Beauticontrol at night.  

That sums it up!  I'm cheap and low maintenance these days!

This is a good read for the low maintenance mommas!
