There's something so satisfying about doing your makeup with products that are crazy affordable. Not to say the expensive stuff isn't great as well, but when you make a good makeup find at your local Target or CVS it's like finding treasure. These are my favorite makeup products that I found at great prices that won't hurt your wallet. Some will be a bit expensive but they also last a long time.

E.L.F: Dual Concealer and Highlighter wand

Why it's great: It helps hide zits or other spots and does great highlighting

Price: $3

Neutrogena: Clear Face Break Out Free Liquid Lotion Sunscreen (SPF 55)

Why it's great: I use it for moisturizing my face before putting on makeup and it keeps it nice and sunburn free. I highly recommend it for people with oily skin.

Price: $10.19

Revlon: Colorstay Normal/Dry Foundation (with SPF 20)

Why it's great: It's a long lasting and smooth foundation, not to mention it has SPF which is perfect for anyone who hides from the sun like me!

Price: $9.69

Benefit: The Porefessional

Why it's great: It covers up any pores you may have and glides on like butter (in a good way). A little goes a long way with this product.

Price: $31

Tarte: Paaaarty-12 hour blush

Why it's great: It's an easy and light blush to apply on your cheeks.

Price: Free for a Sephora reward members, this is an item you can get on your birthday.

L'Oreal: Voluminous Feline in Black/Brown

Why it's great: It makes your eyelashes look super long and doesn't often clump them either.

Price: $7.99

NYX: Soft Matte Lip Cream-Cannes

Why it's great: I love using this color for natural looks because it's not super bright but also not super dull. Plus it smells like cake batter.

Price: $6.49

NYX: HD Finishing Powder

Why it's great: It gives your makeup a nice and matte finished off look. If your skin is a bit pinkish like mine, purchase it in mint green to help tone down your natural redness.

Price: $9.99

NYX: White eyeliner

Why it's great: I learned a trick a while back from youtube that if you want to make your eyes look bigger you should line your waterline with white eyeliner. This certainly does the trick and glides on easily.

Price: $7.99

Besame: 1946-Red Velvet Lipstick

Why it's great: I was in love with Peggy Carter's shade of lipstick in Marvel's "Agent Carter" and once I found the actual lipstick used on the show I had to have it. It's an awesome and fantastic shade of red made with 1940's era accurate ingredients.

Price: $22

Rimmel London: Stay Matte Powder Foundation

Why it's great: Really all you need is a light dusting on your face for it to work and that's it! Plus it lasts all day!

20 Small Tattoos With Big Meanings

Tattoos with meaning you can't deny.

It's tough to find perfect tattoos with meaning.

You probably want something permanent on your body to mean something deeply, but how do you choose a tattoo that will still be significant in 5, 10, 15, or 50 years? Over time, tattoos have lost much of their stigma and many people consider them a form of art, but it's still possible to get a tattoo you regret.

So here are 20 tattoos you can't go wrong with. Each tattoo has its own unique meaning, but don't blame me if you still have to deal with questions that everyone with a tattoo is tired of hearing!

1. A semi-colon indicates a pause in a sentence but does not end. Sometimes it seems like you may have stopped, but you choose to continue on.

2. "A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor."

3. Top symbol: unclosed delta symbol which represents open to change. Bottom symbol: strategy.

4. "There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls."

5. Viking symbol meaning "create your own reality."

6.Greek symbol of Inguz: where there's a will, there's a way.

7. Psalm 18:33 "He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights."

8. 'Ohm' tattoo that represents 4 different states of consciousness and a world of illusion: waking (jagrat), dreaming (swapna), deep sleep (sushupti), transcendental state (turiya) and world of illusion (maya)

9. Alchemy: symbolizes copper, means love, balance, feminine beauty and artistic creativity.

10. The Greek word “Meraki" means to do something with soul, passion, love and creativity or to put yourself in to whatever you do.

11. Malin (Skövde, Sweden) – you have to face setbacks to be able to go forward.

12. Symbol meaning "thief" from the Hobbit. It was the rune Gandalf etched into Bilbo's door so the dwarves could find his house.

13. “Lux in tenebris" means “light in darkness."

14. Anchor Tattoo: symbolizing strength & stability, something (or someone) who holds you in place, and provides you the strength to hold on no matter how rough things get.

15."Ad Maiora" is translated literally as “Towards greater things." It is a formula of greeting used to wish more success in life, career or love.

16. A glyphs means “explore." It was meant as a reminder for me to never stop exploring.

17. "Aut inveniam viam aut faciam," meaning roughly, "Either I shall find a way, or I will make one."

18. Lotus Flower. It grows in muddy water, and it is this environment that gives forth the flower's first and most literal meaning: rising and blooming above the murk to achieve enlightenment.

19. The zen (or ensō) circle to me represents enlightenment, the universe & the strength we all have inside of us.

20. Two meanings. The moon affirms life. It looks as if it is constantly changing. Can reminds us of the inconsistency of life. It is also symbolizes the continuous circular nature of time and even karma.
