    The Best Beauty Products for Every Budget

    By Taylor Barringer & Megan McIntyre, Refinery29

    Recently, it seems like there's been a lot of attention paid to certain individuals' bank accounts. While we're just as curious as the rest of the world to see what Mitt Romney has in his coffers, we're far more interested in the spending of the dolla dolla bills in our own - particularly on beauty products.

    But, since finding great budget beauty products can be kind of a crapshoot, we did you a solid and scoped out the best of the bunch. And, because we know not every bank account is created equal (what's up, 1%!), we've included some great splurge buys, too. Read on to see the high-end products we stock up on when we're feeling flush and the wallet-friendly dopplegangers we turn to when our checkbook is running on fumes.

      We're constantly being asked about lower-priced makeup-brush alternatives that are still as good as our MAC favorites. Look no further than celebrity darling - and makeup artists extraordinaire - Sonia Kashuk's eponymous line. Her brushes get just as much play from us (sometimes more!) as ones that cost twice as much. And a pretty cool bonus: The synthetic fibers in the lower-priced brushes are actually less likely to shed. ... more
