I have been very surprised but delighted to find a few things that are quite inexpensive (cheap) but work very well.
One is a product by Starry brand, liquid eye liner. I have tried this product and found it works quite well. The applicator brush is very thin, so it gives very good control with a lasting line. I have not tried any other Starry brands but I found this liner in a store and at the price, I thought it was worth the chance.

Now another product that my wife found for me from E.l.f are these really great false eye lashes, they go on very easily because of the thicker inner rim that holds true to it's shape when they are applied. Which also makes them very durable for multiple applications, and look at the price, now that's a deal and they work. I have ordered some of the other products on this site and will update the review of these products when I get them. At these prices, I thought, well you never know. I was so impressed with the two sets of eye lashes that I tried, so I ordered 20 more of the Dramatic lash # 1714, for ONE DOLLAR.

Nice find Tammy, Thanks for sharing!

Melody,
They just got these lashes back into stock, but if you want to make things easier, just trim the length down to a size that suits you.
Actually I started with Andrea # 53, they were easy for me to put on at first. They can be a handful, but once you master them, it is really fun and easy. I love them, would not think about going out without them. As I, (we) get older the lashes start to thin out.

Also, this link may also help you with the application, she makes it look way to easy though.

I have now tried out some more products from E.L.F. Their makeup brushes are just wonderful, it's hard to believe at this price.
Also there bronzer, primer, and shimmer work very well. My wife is so impressed she ordered some products from there mineral category. I am trying out the liquid eye liner. I only tried it on a very small spot, so this product I am not sure of yet. I was going to a Techno party at Elysium here in Detroit and I did not want to experiment to much. This is really a nice club to go to, but not for the inhibited. Link below for this club.

I will be trying there lipstick this weekend, in cheerful cherry, fiery fuchsia. In a brief trail effort, it seems to apply just like the name brands.But I also use there lip lock pencil, to prevent feathering.

The blush works wonderful, I starting to sound like a sales person..hummm

My wife likes the Makeup remover cleansing cloths, just like some name brands she buys but cheaper, I mean inexpensive.

Well post more results when I am convinced about there value.

Hi Tammy,

I was just about to post a rant about how much I hate false eyelashes and how many bad experiences I've had with them over the years. I'll have to try these, the price is certainly right.

Thanks for the tip.

Best,
Melody

Hi Tammy,

Thanks so much for the info. Have to admit I've had very little success with lashes and you are certainly right that ones we are born with do really thin out. (My bad lashes always bothered me more because my younger, gay brother had beautiful ones. At least he was the one with the bulbous nose...)

Best,
Melody
