Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask: best kept beauty secret

TotalBeauty.com
11 Best Drugstore Mascaras

These products feel like splurging -- minus the high price tag


Are you a mascara fanatic? We are too. However, that doesn't mean we'll drop lots of cash on high-end mascaras (well, OK, it does, but we don't JUST do that). Especially when there are these cheap-but-awesome ones out there. Check them out, and say good-bye to your $20-a-tube days.

Okay: today we focus on beauty and your budget. I have been in love with the L'Oreal line of mascaras forever! They are starting to creep over the ten buck mark which annoys me, yet has not detered me from buying them. I have several tubes at a time because I never know what my lashes will be in the mood for on a day to day basis.

Though before you click through the beauty bubble to see what all the fuss is about I must share with you what I'm pretty sure is one of the best kept beauty secrets and a must for your beauty routine.

The tried and true, been around forever mask by Queen Helene. It comes in a tub or a tube. It's less than five bucks and can be found at nearly every Target, Walmart or drugstore.

It smells good, has great slip and texture, dry down time is quick depending on the thickness of the application and is effective in minimizing pore size, tightening skin, sloughing off dull dead cells and in general, it's fabulous for less than five bucks.

I recommend this if you are in between salon/spa treatments or your favorite facial. This is a goodie to have at home for sometimes or always! Enjoy!
