15 Under $15: Lucky’s Favourite Cheap & Cheerful Beauty Products

One of my favorite things about fashion these days is the trend toward mixing high end pieces with regular-people-priced clothing.  Thankfully, many makeup companies are following suit and many of the brands that you can find in the drug store are now comparable with prestige products.  You have renowned makeup artists like Pat McGrath repping Revlon, Billy B with L’Oreal, Grace Lee as lead artist at Maybelline Canada… further verification that you don’t have to pay big bucks to get some great beauty products.

If you are anything like me, you love to peruse the aisles at a drug store, or find a website with quality items that are reasonably priced.   I’m a product addict no matter what the cost, so of course I love a good bargain that’s also something I would actually use myself or in my professional makeup kit. Here are my favourite products (in no particular order) that you can pick up for $15 or less! read more…
