Five Buck Friday

Purchased by Me

It's back! I took a break from my Five Buck Friday series for the holidays, but it's back and for those who are new to this blog, let me quickly tell you what this series is about!

On Fridays, I like to do a post for the weekend that includes products that I personally love, own and have repurchased. And no matter how many products I post, they will ALWAYS add up to just five bucks. I sometimes post about five $0.99 products, and sometimes just one $5 product--it varies from week to week. To see all of my past Five Buck Friday posts, click the little pink blush on the top menu bar of this blog titled "Five Buck Friday."

So let's get started with my pick for this week!

Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss Matte Lipstick in #104 (retail: $4.99 at Target--price may vary elsewhere). I have loved this lipstick ever since I first reviewed it back in February of 2013. I've gone through two tubes since then, and it's just one of those shades that is great for both daytime and evening. It's my go-to shade for when I just don't want to think about which lip color to wear, since it goes with practically everything. I love the matte finish and the staying power is incredible. My swatches don't do it justice (I know it looks drying in extreme close-up but I assure you, it doesn't look dry on the lips when viewed from a normal distance!). I seriously cannot recommend this one enough, and I think it works nicely on just about every skintone. Oh, and it's also rumored to be dupe for MAC Mehr, but I don't own that MAC shade so I can't confirm.

That's it for this edition of Five Buck Friday. Check back next Friday for more affordable picks!
