Summer Beauty Essentials for Under $30


walmart beauty

There are two things in life that I can’t resist, 1.) a challenge and 2.) a deal. So when Wal-Mart challenged me to pull $30 worth of beauty essentials at their store to create my favorite summer look, I gladly accepted. Sure, I like fancy cosmetics as much as the  next girl but there is something about that feeling you get when you find the perfect shade of lipstick for under $7.

My makeup routine for summer has always been, and probably always will be, less is more. I just need a little color on my cheeks and lips to feel complete. My other requirement is at the end of the day, I can easily take it all off to get back that fresh faced feeling. So my essentials would be a pinky blush, a lipstick or balm with a hint of color, mascara (can’t live without that), and something to remove everything at the end of the day.

The question is, can I get all of that for under $30? Absofreakinglutely.

For my simple carefree summer beauty routine, follow these steps …

1.) Prep your face.

If you are confident enough to go foundation free, go for it! If not, prep your face with your favorite foundation and powder to set.

2.) Apply blush.

I love a strongly blushed cheek. Check out my summer beauty inspiration pics above for different ways to apply your blush. I always start with a little and work my way up on the intensity scale.

3.) Play up your eyes with mascara.

During the summer months I often skip eye shadow and liner because the heat tends to mess them up. The one thing I will never go without is my precious mascara. Covergirl Bombshell has been a longtime favorite, so I was happy to swoop this up at Wal-Mart for a cool $8.94.

4.) Take it all off.

At the end of the day of course. Nothing feels worse than a face full of makeup at the end of a hot day. The second I decide to call it a day the makeup comes off! I was happy to find this cleasner/ makeup removed from Neutrogena naturals. Not only is it dermatologist recommended but it is also free from parabans, dyes, harsh chemicals, and sulfates – so really get that fresh clean feeling.

So tell me …
