 ***Complimentary products received in exchange for an honest review***


From all the things that cost money in life it can be hard to look great without breaking the bank. Throw kids into the mix and it can seem like a nearly impossible feat to find a routine that really delivers without taking from the kid’s college fund. Now you can look fab and send junior to college with these budget beauty buys - all under $20!




Every quality beauty routine starts with fresh scrubbed skin so turn to the Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase HydraBalance Foaming Cleanser ($8.97; Walmart.com) to dissolve dirt and makeup without stripping the skin. Perfect for restoring the skin’s natural protective barrier, the extra-gentle formula helps skin hold onto moisture so start the day with the freshest face. 

My Thoughts

The HydraBalance Foaming Cleanser is wonderful.  It foams up nicely and leaves your skin feeling clean and firm. When used in combination with the Kinerese Perfecting B.B. Cream, your skin will be fresh and rejuvenated after just a few uses. This cleanser really brings the life back into your skin and makes you feel years younger. Skin will  feel softer and will just seen to glow after just a few applications. It will help your skin stay healthy and glowing all year long.




 Multi-tasking products are a dream come true when you have a limited time so turn to the Dr. LeWinn  by Kinerase Instant Perfecting B.B. Cream SPF 15 ($15.97; Walmart.com) for coverage and moisture in seconds flat. This all-in-one balm instantly creates a luminous glow upon contact while providing a light tint that is never cakey. The skin is moisturized effortlessly and looks flawless for hours to come without ever needed to retouch!


My Thoughts

 
This is the perfect way to keep your skin healthy and wrinkle-free despite the elements.  The cream goes on smoothly and does not leave behind any sticky residues. It leaves your skin feeling firm and taunt, but still moisturized and soft. Because it has SPF included, you don't have to worry about greasy sunblocks when you are heading out to the park with the kids. But the thing that makes this lotion different than the rest, is that they added a slight tint. When you apply the lotion, it adds just a hint of color without making you look made up.  Its the perfect way to keep that healthy glow all year long. And at only $15.97, its an affordable skincare option.




 All that running around is sure to let some shine sneak in so stash the wet n wild CoverAll Pressed Powder ($2.99; Drugstore.com) in your hand bag for easy access blotting. The airy, silky-smooth formula creates a polished finish for a radiant look that lasts. VisiBright™ Technology delivers a skin-perfecting complex that reduces the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots, while hydrating skin’s natural collagen for a rejuvenating lift all day.

 My Thoughts

 I LOVED this product, and I'm not an easy sell on makeup.  When I used this foundation, my skin tone was perfectly evened out, but I didn't look like a painted doll. It adds just a hint of color, but doesn't look overdone either. It covers up an unseemly blemishes and hides the bags under your eyes. It comes in a small compact container that is easy to carry around. Best of all, it didn't clog my pores or cause any breakouts like some makeups will do.




   Finished nails are the fastest way to add polish in a pinch and the wet n wild FastDry Nail Color ($1.99; Drugstore.com) dry in 60 seconds flat! These vivid and chic colors add a pop to your digits in no time so you can freshen-up your look anytime day or night. 




 My Thoughts

Wet and Wild Fast Dry Nail Polish was another big hit.  My daughter and I both  absolutely loved bright pink color for both our fingers and our toes. It really does dry super fast. Literally a minute after application I bumped by toes on my desk but the nail polish was fine.  It's not only quick drying, its also long lasting. Our fingers stayed painted about a week, and our toes still look freshly painted after two weeks.




 Need your lip color to stay put from dawn to dusk? A shimmery pink lip stain with staying power like the wet n wild MegaLast Liquid Lip Color ($2.99; Drugstore.com) is just the ticket. The light and sheer formula makes this lipstick smooth and soft while adding vibrancy to your lips that will leave you with the perfect youthful pout for less than a coffee!

 Our Thoughts

The Wet and Wild Liquid Lip Color is the perfect duo to the nail polish. You can get it in matching colors that go on smooth and last for hours. We got the Click on my Hyper Pink and Pocketful of Roses shades. The pink was a bit too bright for my taste, but the Roses shade was perfect. Its makes it easy to dress up a casual look with this little bit on color on your lips. They aren't flavored but they don't have a nasty chemical taste either. One application lasts for quite awhile and the screw on tops make them great to toss in your handbag.
