Save or Splurge?

Hey everyone! So today I'm going to let you guys know what beauty products I think you should save on and what beauty products I think you should splurge on. Lets start with they eyes:

Mascara: definitly save! Drugstore mascaras are just as good as more expensive kinds! All of the mascara that I own is drugstore.
Eye Shadow: Splurge. I only say this because Coastal Scents eye shadow palettes are a little pricey but they have every color in every shade that you could ever want. If you're buying trios or quads though, save! Maybeline, Rimmel London, and CoverGirl have great ones!
Primer: Splurge. If you have oily lids or eyeshadows that crease, you definitley need a good primer. I would suggest Urban Decay Primer Potion or MAC's Paint Pots.
Eye Liner: Save. I have plenty of drugstore and more expensive kinds, but I don't notice much of a difference. I don't like pencils period so I wouldn't know what to suggest for those but L'Oreal has good liquid liners, and Maybeline has good gel liners.

Lip Gloss: Save! Yeah, more expensive companies do have great lip gloss but it stays on for like 10 minutes so why spend so much on something that doesn't even last that long?
Lip Stick: Splurge. Maybeline has great ColorSensational lipsticks, but MAC is better in my opinion. I don't know if MAC is too much of a splurge anyways because they're only like $4 more, but I would recomend MAC.
Lip Color/Balm: Save/Splurge. Lip color could be counted lip stick, but I put it in a different catagory because I have a different opinion on these and I think they're a little different. Stila's long wear lip color is AWESOME but it's a little expensive. CoverGirl's NatureLuxe gloss balm's are great too, so I would go both.
Lip Stain: Save!! Revlon and Maybeline have great lip stains, and I read in Allure that they last longer than Tarte's which is twice as expensive.

Primer: Save. I don't think a lot of people really need primer, but some people use it. Honestly I only use it to reduce shine but I have yet to find a really good one. I would skip even having a primer unless you feel you really need it.

Foundation/Tinted Moisturizer: Save! I LOVE L'Oreal's Studio Secrets Magic Smooth Souffle foundation. I used to not trust drugstore with my face, but this hasn't broken me out! I use Stila's Tinted Moisturizer and its great but drugstores have good ones too.

Concealer: Splurge. Concealer is my best friend because I have bad under eye circles, and I get occasional pimples so I need a good one to fix all of it!

Powder: Save. The only powder I splurge on is translucent powder because I use it all the time! I use BareMinerals Mineral Viel and its very healthy for your skin. I don't use pressed powder, but I know drugstores have some good ones. As far as bronzers and blushes go, I'd save save. Drugstores have good ones. Nyx has a HUGE bronzer for very cheep, and it works great.

Hope you enjoyed!
