In this rough economy where budgets are tight, the one thing I personally do not want to leave behind is my beauty routine! My signature style is clean and simple makeup, for myself as well as my bridal clientele. L’Oreal has made it possible for me to keep my beauty routine while sticking to a budget.  L’Oreal HIP High Intensity Pigments Jelly Balms and HIP High Intensity Pigments Metallic Shadow Duos have made my year!

First, the Metallic Shadow Duos are not only budget friendly they are packed with pigment power for an ultimate color pay-off. Typically I find a lot of drugstore makeup brands have very little pigment therefore you have to pack on the product for the color to show up. The L’Oreal HIP line has combined a winning combination of value and product. These duo packs have even taken the guesswork out of color theory by pairing up colors that are complimentary in each shadow compact. They come in five shade pairings: Gilded, Magnetic, Gunmetal, Platinum, and Sculpted and retail for just $7.00 for each set!

The HIP High Intensity Pigments Jelly Balms are equally as nice with a beautiful sheer color pay-off and a soft, dewy finish. My brides love these because this product leaves their lips conditioned and moist, they are simple to apply alone or over a lipstick shade and, most importantly, they are kissable too! The Balms are available in six sheer shades: Luscious, Savory, Succulent, Plush, Ripe, and Delectable and retail for just $9.00 each. L’Oreal, thank you for making a budget-friendly product with unbeatable quality – any makeup artist’s dream! To check out these and other L’Oreal products, visit www.lorealparis.com.
