It goes on effortlessly and doesn't crease. The best part? It's only $2.64!! The color will give skin a nice glowy tan look. Add a swoop of Wet 'n Wild MegaLiner Liquid Liner in turquoise for $2.69 for a bright summery look!

Gold is perfect for any eyecolor, but best on green eyes.

Looking for a mascara to kick those lashes up a notch without putting a notch in your wallet? Check out these great beauty buys!

The mascara voted number one by allwomenstalk.com is Dior DiorShow Blackout Mascara! It received a 4.3 out of 5 for volumizing and lengthening the best! It also leaves a dramatic dark look. Sounds to good to be true? Well, every item must have a con. This mascara flakes, clumps, smears and has a sticky feel. The cost of this tube is $24.50 at Sephora.

Another great mascara is Maybelline Volum' Express Falsies Mascara! It extends and elongates lashes with simply one swipe! It also stays all day without smearing! However, it clumps if there is too much product on the brush. The cost is only a fraction of the cost of the Dior mascara! It only costs $5.94 at Target!! By far my favorite!!

Don't pay 4x the cost for a similar product in a prettier tube! Stay glitzy without being ditzy about the cost! This has been another escapade to the world where all that matters is For the Love of Fashion!

Bilnged Out Tresses!

Diamonds are a girls best friend! Especially if they're in your hair!! That's right, the new sensation for hair went from feathers to jewels! Just like the feather extensions, you can curl, straighten and wash these sparkly strands!!

There are two different kinds of diamond extensions: the clip in and the stick in. The clip in is just like a regular extension. It lasts longer but is definitely the more expensive of the two. The stick in is just like an iron on decal; you flat iron them in your hair! These are cheaper since hair isn't included.

If you live in Hemet, California, Jaimie Stockton from Rage Salon and Boutique (and since these are all the rage where else would they be done??)! The service is $20! Cheapest diamonds I ever saw!

Thank you for joining me once again on a fantabulous journey to the world where all that matters is For the Love of Fashion!

Raise that brow!

A great way to accentuate beautiful eyes is to have perfectly shaped brows. There are many methods out in the world to achieve this goal but which works best, is most sanitary, and the cheapest? Let's find out! The two best and most popular techniques are: threading and waxing.

Threading is the method of twisting pure cotton threads and plucking the hair. Unlike plucking hairs one by one, threading can remove rows which give a cleaner, more defined brow. However, if you have a low pain tolerance, threading may not be for you. It takes longer than waxing which makes the duration of pain last longer. If you can sacrifice comfort for beauty, then your match is threading!

Waxing is the process of using soft plastic waxing strips which have wax on one side to remove the hair. The lines aren't as clean as threading but the pain is minimal. However, you are at a higher risk of irritation since the wax comes in contact with the skin unlike threading. If your pain tolerance is low and you are willing to risk skin irritation, waxing is fit for you!

Waxing is usually a little more expensive than the threading technique...around $4-$5 difference. It has also been said that threading lasts longer than waxing!

By the facts shown above I would say the winner is...(drum roll please) THREADING! It is less expensive, causes less irritation and lasts the longest! Most importantly, it gives you those sexy brows you deserve!

Raise those clean-cut brows proud at the cost of this technique! Anywhere from $7-$10!! Great buy! This has been another expedition to the city where all that matters is For the Love of Fashion!

Romper Time!!

The romper! Every woman should have at least one in their closet! They cam be dressed up with a cute pair of heels and a clutch, or dressed down with flip flops or wedges and a cute fedora! The possibilities are endless on what you can wear with a cute romper but the question is: how do I find a glamorous romper without the glamorous price? It's simple, really. Just look in all the right places!

While looking around sites for a cute, floraly, summertime romper, I stumbled across the most adorable one by Gianni at Dillard's. I scrolled down to see the price and quickly searched elsewhere. $88?? No thank you!

I searched and searched and found one similar for a third of the price! Forever21.com was selling TONS of rompers with just about the same print and/or style! And the prices range from $11.80-$24.90. Not nearly as expensive which gives you a little extra cash to spend on a cute pair of shoes or accessories!

Can you guess which is which? The top is the more expensive. Not much of a difference huh? Don't be overcharged for a name brand!! The name doesn't change how it looks on you! This has been another fabulous journey to the world where all that matters is For the Love of Fasion!!

Looking for that amazing hairspray but don't want to pay a fortune? Yes, it is out there and look no further...it has been found!

Good hair products can be expensive so most (yes, I'm guilty of this too) settle for the drug store brands. These brands do not give your sexy tresses the pampering they deserve! The hairsprays leave hair crunchy instead of holding it with a soft finished look.

My new love is Joifix Firm Finishing Spray by Joico. Not only does it hold your style for the day, it also doesn't leave hair crunchy or flaky. The best part? It's inexpensive! Online at Amazon.com, it costs $11.69. It can also be found in select Marshall stores for $9.99! How great is that? You could either spend $4.29 on a hairspray like Aussie Aussome Volume and have crunchy hair and a style that will fall flat in a matter of a few hours, or double the cost and have beautiful long lasting hair!

Enjoy the voluminous hair without the voluminous cost! Thank you for joining me on my journey to the land where all that matters is For the Love of Fashion!
