$25 Monthly Makeup Challenge

We’re building a quality makeup kit for $25 a month with the $25 Monthly Makeup Challenge.

$25 Monthly Makeup Challenge 

The rules: 

Your monthly budget is $25. You can buy stuff anywhere you want, and buy anything you want, but you have to stay under $25. If you order online, S/H counts towards your $25. If you have money left over, you can use it towards the next month’s challenge.

Just like in every other aspect of life, sometimes we have to save up for things we want. 

No coupon hauls. It’s about quality, not quantity.

I'll be joining in on the $25 monthly makeup challenge each month.  Who can refuse extra makeup? I know I can't!

I had a gift card to eBay that was burning a whole in my pocket so I decided what better thing to spend my GC on than some new makeup.



I have wanted to get more Stila makeup but since I cannot buy it around here, I haven't had the chance. I decided to splurge on the Stila Daydream Palette. This is a palette of 22 eye shadows.

  1. Kitten
  2. Day
  3. Bloom
  4. Tranquil
  5. Aspire
  6. Wish
  7. Yearn
  8. Lotus
  9. Desire
  10. Crave
  11. Hope
  12. Fancy
  13. Ambition
  14. Admire
  15. Stellar
  16. Paradise
  17. Illusion
  18. Celestial
  19. Night
  20. Spark
  21. Whim
  22. France
This palette is no longer available on the Stila Cosmetics site but it is selling for $12 on Amazon.  I got it for $17.99 shipped so I may have saved a few pennies had I bought it on Amazon. The seller included a few cute make up tools and an eyeliner pencil with the purchase so I'm quite happy.

$25.00 - $17.99 = $7.01 I can put toward next month.

    Ooh la la! I love those palettes, they're so pretty. How do you like the shadows?

    I like what did with the eyeshadow deal. That's a lot of eyeshadow for the price you paid.A lot of pretty colors! Something like this is worth checking out. Even though I don't wear much makeup, but still this is a good deal. Makeup is expensive I think that's why I don't buy much of it.

    I've seen this pallet and love the idea of all 22 in one place- smaller amounts is perfect for me, I rarely hit pan on eyeshadows because I have so many and love playing with different ones. Very nice!

    I probably spend $25 in a year :) I am not much of a makeup person except for good powder and mascara.

    I'm tempted to accept this challenge. Lord knows I need some new makeup! Better make sure my bills are paid first though...lol
