But ONE day, I'll be able to afford MAC brushes

In the mean time,

all my makeup brushes were purchased

I purchased two years ago

Here's a look at all my makeup brushes!

Mostly Used:

MISCELLANEOUS

Milk of Magnesia_Philips $4.99

Thanks so much to makeuponabudget and my wonderful subscriber for introducing me to this product! No, I don't use this as a laxative, but as a face product instead... It does an awesome job fighting back the shine!

Whitening Dental Wraps_$18.99 sale $12.99

Maybelline's Colossal Mascara_$5.99 sale $3.49

Monistat Chafing Gel_$5.99

I'm loving the whitening dental wraps from Walgreen's and my Monistat chafing gel as a face primer. Y' all probably thinking I'm crazy, but this stuff is a great product to smooth out your skin before applying your foundation or face powders. As for the dental wraps, I've seen a major improvement in my teeth. I haven't been consistent with the product, but see a 2 maybe 3 shade difference...Loves it!!!
