Bougie美容产品及其药品商店的半科学比较
Yesterday, we took an in depth look at the$3 treasures of the CVS beauty department. As it turns out, there’s a $3 find for almost every category of beauty product and a few great skin care finds. I’m always a proponent of cutting costs wherever you can, but I wanted to find out which make up and skin care areas I could should be cutting costs in (and perhaps am not) and where a splurge is necessary. Something that’s always kept me coming back to TFD (as a reader) is that there is transparency behind the stories. There aren’t just random recipes, or experiences, or work from home tricks. The tips come from people who have implemented them. In keeping with that, I wanted to experiment with the $3 beauty product finds to guarantee they really work, and learn how best to use them.
I lined up my (expensive) beauty/skin products and the cheaper CVS alternatives. Then I tried to achieve the same look using the under $3 products, then the expensive stuff. Here’s the side by side comparison:
$ 3的运输量：
我用婴儿油（$ 1.99）清洗并申请NIVEA face cream
For full make up I used:
E.L.F.Golden Bronzer
Vaseline Tinted Moisturizer
Wet ‘n’ Wild Silk Finish(Wine Room) Lipstick ($0.99)
E.L.F.睫毛膏
纽约液体眼线笔
How I Put Together A Look Using The Cheaper Alternatives:
1. Face: After letting the Nivea cream sink in, I used the bronzer as a base. Then I used the Vaseline tinted mini tub and applied it to the top of my cheeks in lieu of blush.
2. Eyes: I applied the NYC liquid eyeliner to the top of my lids, and put a small coat of the Vaseline above that on my eyelids. (Make sure to do the eyeliner first, because if you do the Vaseline first, it makes your eyelid too slippery to work with.) I finished my eyes with the $2 mascara.
3. Lips: I applied theWet ‘n’ Wild Silk Finish
The full look:
What Worked and What Didn’t:
The bronzer felt just as good on my face as my expensive bronzer. My only complaint was that the cheaper bronzer had more shimmer than I thought it would. The light sparkle really just gives your cheeks an extra shine, so it would’ve worked well as a bronzer, but it needed a base underneath it. I made the mistake of using the bronzer as my base, which didn’t work for this product.
在凡士林有色迷你浴缸的所有用途中，在我的脸颊顶部使用它实际上是我的最爱。它确实使我的脸亮了，脸红的方式确实很自然。我额外擦了擦一点，在我的脸上戴着淡淡的凡士林并不觉得很奇怪。（实际上，它在化妆时滋润！）它对我的眼皮具有相同的开口效果。
至于E.L.F睫毛膏，刷子不那么大，我知道这是您在25美元的睫毛膏中支付的费用，但老实说，我很喜欢刷毛相距甚远，因为它有助于分开我的睫毛。在将其与我的Neutrogena睫毛膏进行比较时，我会说它们的工作方式同样很好。
The Expensive Haul
For the expensive look, I cleansed with CVS Make up wipes ($6.00) andNeutrogena Grapefruit Cream Cleanser
I tried to use the products that matched the coloring of my inexpensive products, to prove that the #look could be consistent between the bougie goods and the drugstore haul.
Full list of expensive products:
Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzer
Clinique Cheek Pop Blush
Clinique ‘Chubby Stick’ Lip Crayon (Broadest Berry)
Stilla眼线笔
Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara
The full look:
您实际上可以看到多少区别？我喜欢药店产品看起来更好。尽管我的皮肤甚至更喜欢使用Body Shop Bronzer，但这是唯一的区别。
这些与$ 3的替代品相比如何：
1. I found no difference in the eye make up. The mascara and eyeliner (cheap and expensive) both came off easily, the liquid was long lasting and my lashes were extended equally. I’m definitely spending too much on eye make up, and you may be too.
2. The downfall of the inexpensive bronzer was that while it was shimmery and fun, it doesn’t serve as a full-face powder the way my Body Shop bronzer can. I found my skin was less even with the cheaper bronzer, but like I said, had it been on top of a foundation, it would’ve been just fine.
3. As for cleansing, I think the baby oil took off my make up just as well as the CVS make up wipes. If you’re splurging for the wipes, it’s for the ease, but in terms of make up removing effectiveness, these products are comparable.
4.护肤面霜：妮维亚的举止比我想象的要好。我不会分开我的昂贵的眼霜，因为它确实有助于我的黑眼圈，但是Nivea产品的滋养和保湿方式与典型的面霜（例如Simple或Aveeno）类似。
5.凡士林有色保湿霜几乎使每种便宜的产品都更好。它真正创建的嘴唇外观看起来像是昂贵的唇彩，并且一直保持着。虽然它不像我的脸颊流行腮红那样充满活力，但它在我的脸颊顶部提供了健康的光芒，使外观更加亮。它迅速沉入我的皮肤，脸上没有沉重。
