It's okay to be a Diva on a Budget

This blog is strictly for those girls that love looking good and know for a fact that it doesn't take a arm and a leg to do so theses are a few cheap things and places that I recommend for you to look your best at what ever budget that your on. I'm going keep it real though something's are worth the splurge, but the secret to having money is spending as less as possible on things you want instead of actually needing.

If your one of those girls that don't believe in spending outrageous prices just because you have it in your bank account and the item seems to be the hottest thing on the market. Here's a secret the hottest thing on the market in the summer is old news during fall. So your basically trying to keep up with the Jones for one season.

It's okay to be a diva on a budget and who the heck said being wise about what you purchase and reclaimed it as being ratchet? Ratchet is not saving it's how you carry yourself. It doesn't matter if your clothes still come from Rainbow's or your eyeliner isn't from Mac as long as you as a person carry your self a certain way any who here's the list you've been waiting for.

Makeup

BH Cosmetics: This makeup company are on the cheaper side but it's quality makeup. Well I can only speak for the eye shadows. I'm not a face makeup kind of girl but if their foundation,lip products and blush is anything like there eye shadows then they're amazing.  The best thing about this company is the sales they are constantly having sales on top of already being affordable.

ELF Cosmetics: Although I haven't brought from them recently E.L.F cosmetics is also a affordable makeup site. Warning: some of the things on this site isn't what I would call amazing but truth is you expect what you pay for and some of there items are better then the price. Such as there lip glosses and face setting mist. What I personally praise them for are their cheap and single brushes. Their brushes aren't Sedona Lace are Sigma but they get the job done pretty damn well.

L.A Girl Cosmetics: I know exactly what your thinking. Isn't that the same brand from the beauty supply store and yes it is. Never sleep on beauty supply store products. L.A girl lip paints are amazing! So is there glide on eyeliner there are truly some gems within this company you never expect.

Accessories and Makeup

Shop Miss A: This is one of those sites that just so happen to be a one stop for me. Why? you may ask is not only is everything a dollar, yes, I said uno peso! this is almost as close to being free as it comes but the things on here are quality items the earrings, rings, and necklaces are beautiful and the don't, I mean do- not feel like it's price. The makeup are work able (They carry ELF Cosmetics Items here too!) but one thing about this site is that you have to be quick if you see a piece you want today most likely it would be sold out the next time you go on that site.  The most amazing product on this site is their KARA eyelashes c'mon let's be real where can you find human hair eyelashes that are a dollar? and don't let me forget those flash tattoos

Born Pretty Store: I mainly come on here for nail supply items such as rhinestones and stamping plate but the jewelry on here are beauty haven't brought any from here this is sure a place to check out especially if your into nail art.

Hair

For those who don't know I do where wigs. I use to be a braid wearing going up. Wore track weaves a few times and now since I love the versatility of wearing wigs when I switched its hard for me to switch back. Many women these days buy there virgin hair and make there wigs. There's nothing wrong with that some of those wigs make my a little envious until I see the prices of those bundles though. More power to the woman that can spend close to $200.00 a bundle and have like 4 of them with a closure I'm sorry I can do a lot with $1,000 dollars then to just sew it on my head.
To some of ya'll that aren't close to a beauty supply store like myself or even if your looking for a price comparison this is for you guys.

Hair to Beauty: This site has been my holy grail since last year every unit I've receive have came super fast and there affordable. Yes they do carry weave, braiding hair, accessories and makeup as well just think of them as a online version on your favorite beauty supply store.

Elevate Styles: Now let me tell you about this company they are slowly stealing my heart away this happens to be my mother's holy grail for her units they are a couple of days faster is shipping they just seem to carry some units at a cheap price then hair to beauty problem is by the time I'm on a unit the color I want it gone and I'm not ready to go 100% black or dark brown I need color in my hair to bring out the undertones in my complexion. If your looking for a one stop for hair and accessories this is strictly just a hair site. They do carry weaves and braiding hair. Your orders are also protected by google which I find impressive.

Closing Statement

These are just a few sites for you guys to check out and I would definitely keep you guys posted with out things that I buy from these site. Keep in mind that you should do comparisons at all times check for proof of the legitimacy of the site. Make sure the shipping doesn't make up half of your entire order for example: If your buying a item for let's say $40 dollars and standard shipping is $20.00 don't buy it that's bull crap shipping should cost that much if it is the same country and you know for a fact the item doesn't weight that much. Now sometimes when you spend $50 dollars or more on these site you automatically get free shipping so read the fine print. Chances are standard shipping is $8.00 anyway so why not get something else for it instead of spending it solely on shipping. Ebay and Amazon do carry cosmetics but be aware that most of the time its a vender saling  through these sites so take caution. There have been claims about fake high end makeup and scammers floating around these sites.  Come up a price that you don't really mind losing in case something goes wrong and start shopping for things in that price range. For me that $7.00, I'm just going to by honest by the time it get to $10.00 I'm looking like what else can I get with this besides makeup or accessories this could be a boom ass shirt or a pack of meat (which is becoming even more pricey by the day) then I start thinking about holiday gifts. I do consider anything over $10.00 a splurge simply because its on something I want instead of something I needed. The purpose of this blog is to let some of your divas out there that you don't have to spend a load of cash to look good. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being a "Diva on a Budget"

Hope This Helps Someone!

Love you guys!
