Okay, so some of you may not even get the joke in the title. For all of us that remember the 80′s, you know what I’m talking about. White Rain was the premiere hairspray of the 80′s and early 90′s. It cost maybe $2.00 at the drug store and if you added some Wet N Wild pink lip gloss and blue eyeliner you were instantly cool. I still actually love Wet N Wild lip liner number 666 (I once read that Heather Locklear wears it too) , but beyond that my tastes have significantly become more “sophisticated” through the years.

As a self-proclaimed bargain shopper, it’s been hard for me to accept this fact. I never wanted to be that woman that just had to have my (fill in the blank) to feel put together. But, alas, there are just those things that I can’t live without. In no particular order, here are my faves from the beauty department that are worth the green.

Arbonne self-tanner: No streaks. No tanning spray smell. Perfect golden brown.

Imagine your winter makeup routine without foundation.  That’s your hair without B&B Prep.

Bobbi Brown is known for her concealer and there’s a reason why!

BeneTint: The perfect dewy flush in a bottle.

GoSmile: Teeth whitening without the pain.  So simple!
