I came across Chapstick True Shimmer when I was browsing in Wal-Mart one day. I am a lip gloss/chapstick junkie, so I bought one to try out.

I purchased the Blended Fruit Sherbet flavor to try. I LOVE IT!! First, it smells SO GOOD, like fruit punch. Second, it tastes good (not that I devour my chapstick, but you know what I mean). Third, it is very smooth and moisturizing. Lastly, it has a great subtle sparkley-ness that looks good whether you are wearing a lipstick or going au naturale. It was less than $3.00 at my local Wal-Mart though I can't remember the exact price.
It seems like most online places have them for $2.49 to $2.99. Walgreens should also carry them. Chapstick True Shimmer also comes in the following flavors: Peppermint Rush, Tropical, and Botanical Berry. I look forward to trying them all!

Also on my list of budget items is the La Cross Eyelash Curler with padded finger loops. I was out of replacement pads for my old La Cross eyelash curler. I looked everywhere for them and couldn't even find any online. So I bought this whole new curler which comes with three replacement pads in addition to the one in the curler already.
This is a basic, no frills eyelash curler that costs about $3.00. I really like the removable finger loop pads. It just feels more comfortable; and I feel like I can get a better grip. It does the job it is supposed to do and doesn't cost much, so I love it for that. The sucky part seems to be that La Cross doesn't make replacement pads that are sold separately. So when I run out of pads, I guess I am going to have to get a whole new eyelash curler or look for a brand that has replacements sold separately. Bummer because I don't like change very much. Even at $3, I hate the waste of a perfectly good curler because these last a LONG time.
Do you have any budget beauty products you can't live without? Let me know what they are!
