Must have budget goodies

This is a first for me, posting items that I like at the moment. Never was a kikay girl, growing up with my dad and brother. But these days, 30ish and a mom with a career, I do need help. Still open to more help, too. 

So these are my go-to products that won't break the bank. Its wonderful to have these at the local grocery or drugstore! Heaven sent! 

From L-R: Finesse Clean + Simple Hypoallergenic Hairspray, Petroleum Jelly, Acqua Bella Splash Cologne by Penshoppe, Bench Bambino Baby Cologne, Lip Ice Sheer Color in Strawberry, Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer with SPF15, Maybeline Clear Smooth Shine Free Pressed Powder, Face Shop's BB Cream Power Perfection and Cover Girl & Olay Simply Ageless Blush.

Being pregnant, my hair is back to its curly abandon mode. So whenever I fail to iron it, my cow licks are aplenty. I need help holding all that action down. 2 pumps at the most gets the job done. Thats why I like this product. I don't enhale. 

Petroleum Jelly for my lips. Does wonders and have been a fan for years! 

The colognes from Bench and Penshoppe help me with my allergies. I sneeze easily with certain scents. My body also reacts well with these types so I get to feel refreshed and not get an itchy and stuffy nose in the process. 

Lip Ice's lip balm is probably the easiest ones I've used among all the others. It matches your skin color so the shades are never exactly the same. I have to give credit to my cousin, Yolly, for this find. And it doesn't clump up in the lips over time. I skip the lipstick on regular days because of this. 

Cetaphil because my face looks like sandpaper if I let it be. Ugh! Its not sticky and is scentless, so it helps with my allergies with certain scents, too. Plus scented products on the face is a no-no. 

Maybeline's pressed powder is easy to find and won't break your budget. For quick days, I know my environment is not the most glamorous at times so this does the job well. 

Face Shop's BB Cream is light and mousturizes. I tried other brands but this one gets me by far. So I'm sticking to this at the moment. Plus it fits my shade well. Nothing tacky like the geisha look. 

Cover Girl & Olay did good with their blush. It fits my shade and looks natural (w/c is always key!). Takes a while to finish one container. I'm happy, glowing and natural. Chos!

I do have other items on my dresser, but this is my way of saying thanks to the people behind these lovely, budget-friendly goodies. If you have only 20 mins to get ready for your day, you tend to skip on the basics. 

Happy Sunday!
