Steal: L'Oreal Million Lashes mascara (thank you Lauren)
You like?! I'm so glad! I really like it too. I've finally learned the right pressure to use when applying it (pressure's not the right word but you know what I mean).

Yeah, it took me a little while too. At first I just found that I had too much mascara on, if that makes sense. I've found that if I use less "pressure" and move the brush back and forth horizontally, I get less clumping and more separation. And I think you're right that it's the most like the DiorShow that I've tried so far.
Shampoo/Conditioner: I buy the big bottles of Matrix. A coworker of mine used to be a beautician and she is still able to go to the beauty supply store. She gets them about half off I think but it still costs about $40 for both the shampoo and conditioner. It lasts longer than the little bottles though, probably 3 months or so?
I use proactiv so that's a splurge I think. That stuff is pricey, to me anyways. I use mostly Mary Kay makeup but I'm usually able to order it half off so it's not too bad. I don't think there's much else I splurge on. I kind of bought a bottle of this mint bath stuff and it was about $30. I thought that was super expensive!

I don't have any splurges either. But that's okay. I love my steals!
Shampoo: Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship
Face Moisturizer: off brand of the Oil of Olay stuff
Makeup: Cover Girl. I've always used it and I like it better than anything else.
I guess a splurge would be Victoria's Secret lotion, shower gel and body spray, but I haven't bought any in a long time because I stock up when they do the semi annual sales. So now I'm just trying to get rid of it all!
"Splurge" is Loreal EverPure, but I usually get it for next to nothing at CVS.
Steal the white salon Suave BUT since I've been using EverPure my hair doesn't like it as well
Moisturizer
Splurge: HIAJ
Steal: I used to use Aveeno
Makeup
Splurge: MAC, hopefully I will be doing just this VERY soon!
Steal: I got some Wet N Wild base eyeshadow, because I ran out of mine not near my Mary Kay lady in a town that doesn't have more than a Clinque counter, $1.99 works fine.
