EcoTools 5 Piece Brush Set - Approximately $12.00 at Wal-Mart, Target, or Kmart.com
This set of brushes rivals many high-end brand brushes in construction and quality, for a mere fraction of the price. Also, these brushes are made out of super-soft synthetic fibers which makes them cruelty-free! I've loved them since I've gotten my set this summer and am glad I finally upgraded to using nicer brushes. Having a good set of brushes makes make-up application much easier.

The Perfumed Court Fragrance Decants - Prices Vary
I'm kind of a perfume addict and this website allows you to sample an extraordinary range of fragrances from some of the greatest perfume houses at a tiny fraction of the price. Whether it be that you want to try a fragrance or know that the smallest sized bottle of a fragrance is far too big or too expensive, the Perfumed Court gives you access to amazing fragrances at a spectacular price. The website is also well organized and sampler sets exist if you have a special interest in say Violette fragrances or classic French perfumeries. Each decant comes in a wide range of sizes so you don't need to worry about buying too much, especially if you are experimenting with harder to find fragrances. I'm definitely looking forward to being able to sample Tom Ford, Comme des Garçons and Creed fragrances.
