I don't spend much on these items as I now know how much things really cost and how much goes really into making the product.<br />Of the products you list, I have only tried the mascara and the Dove soap - both of which I liked.

The more budget-friendly beauty finds we can share with each other, the better! <br /><br />It's good to know that I'm not alone in my dislike of many modern types of mascara wands. I'm sure they work great for some folks, but for me in the slightest. I'd (almost) rather not wear mascara at all than have to use a non-spoolie brush to apply mine. <br /><br />Big hugs,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-67050240311408924462014-07-23T12:26:35.988-07:002014-07-23T12:26:35.988-07:00Oh, the pink and green mascara was my in my mid te...Oh, the pink and green mascara was my in my mid teens and that's 35 years ago, ahem. ;) My all time favourite mascara is Max Factor's 2000 Calories, I keep returning to it, when I have tried another brand. It also has the classic brush instead of all those silly inventions, which are most often annoying. I will try the NYC top coat. Thank you for making this post and please make the second one, since I love posts like these. :)SANNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973437247117000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-49612640032437249172014-07-23T00:37:25.203-07:002014-07-23T00:37:25.203-07:00Add in some mascara and I'd be good to go anyw...Add in some mascara and I'd be good to go anywhere.

No clumps until the product ages about 4 months, long wear yet easy to remove - even with my oily skin). Thanks a million for the tip about Annabelle lip liners probably being gluten-free, will certainly be checking those out!<br /><br />Nail polishes can hae gluten in them too :( I was told by a MAC salesperson to stay away from their nail polishes. I've tried many brands, and still experimenting, but I've found that my nails prefer 3-free or even 5-free polishes if I canfind them. My nails split and peel or flake away in layers, so while I research and figure out what my diet is missing I'm taking Jameson Biotin and trying to keep my hands and nails moisturised as much as I can - I work with paper all day which can suck the moisture out of your hands, and I wash my hands a lot (about at least 10 times a day).<br /><br />Looking forward to a possible second posting of your fave budget products!<br />Mugsy's in Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05872379684514419344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-62478673703459553322014-07-15T08:40:59.609-07:002014-07-15T08:40:59.609-07:00great list of cheap staples

I'm strangely looking forward to my next drug store visit. :)<br /><br />I do hope you do another post with your next batch of affordable goodies.

We don't have all those brands in the UK, but I can't complain as we are spoilt for choice really. I have to agree that generally skin creams cause more reactions than make up, although I have had a mascara I can't use reactions are generally much less common. I think they must have less active ingredients. The eyeliner looks particularly good. Applying liquid eyeliner can be so tricky!Philippahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979470577235630724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-49008571769738394892014-07-14T21:15:06.624-07:002014-07-14T21:15:06.624-07:00Love the mascara....

I've tried a lot of different, expensive stuff, like DiorShow and whatever, but nothing beats it for the price. I accidentally bought the version recently with the jumbo sized brush, and I can't wait to use it up so I can get back to my regular version. It just coats every lash so perfectly and never clumps.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827840216337511678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-56035926529890910882014-07-14T09:53:57.314-07:002014-07-14T09:53:57.314-07:00I knew its lovers had to exist but I'd not fou...I knew its lovers had to exist but I'd not found one until now..... Hahahahaha please *please* excuse my hopping and pointing descent into what may very well appear to be insanity, but...... it's you! It's you!!!!! It's people like YOU who keep that darn mascara in its cult-status year after year and cause me to scratch my head in wonder and amazement! I've determined that for Great Lash you're either destined to love it (as sales figures would have me believe, and now knowing how fab it looks on you) ooooooorrrrrrrrrrrr you're going to loathe it with a fiery passion. And oh man I am so definitively entrenched in camp hatred, LOL. On me that stuff clumps and flakes and smudges and runs (how is that scientifically possible to do all at once?!?) and I look like a diseased raccoon within minutes. It's actually quite funny. Well it would be more droll if it didn't mean I had to redo my makeup in its entirety, but yeah.... And that's why I don't use it and leave it on the shelf for other makeup-loving people to buy! Other makeup-loving people being you. Consider my mind blown. :P<br /><br />Badger Balm has some nice stuff. I haven't picked up anything lately though, so maybe I'll take another look the next time I spot a display. One of my favourite cheap thrills over the last year has been the Almay Colour+Care liquid lip balm line. I don't remember right off if they're gluten-free, but if they are then they might be worth trying. :)rachlovespenguinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07586017212990636816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-10862053078946471902014-07-14T07:19:06.171-07:002014-07-14T07:19:06.171-07:00Hi there!

I shop on the Vitacost website a lot and have found several budget friendly products that are also more natural. I recommend Honeybee Gardens black pencil eyeliner, as well as Reviva Labs mascara in black. In the deodorant line, I like Alvera almond scent.

I have very sensitive eyes and have found that Maybelline mascara doesn't irritate them in the slightest. I once treated myself to a Dior mascara and much preferred the Maybelline one and was horrified with myself for spending so much money!Kate-Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15664293299445754159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-36717499826892352742014-07-14T03:41:00.950-07:002014-07-14T03:41:00.950-07:00Good post my dear!

I found them for .49 cents at K Mart last week. Anyway, a good thing to stock up on before they're gone if you can use it.
