Beauty Counter: Splurge vs. Steal
From the top hairstylists to the most in-demand makeup artists, our beauty experts share their insider perspective on the latest hair and makeup tips and trends
Splurge vs. steal has always been a favourite here at TheStyleSpy.com. We love looking for deals and getting the best for our buck. That being said, I couldn’t help but ask our resident makeup artist KREAG SEIME to give us his splurge vs. steal list - and it definitely doesn’t disappoint.
Concealer
Splurge… Prescriptives Camouflage Cream Concealer $20 CAD
Available at Holt Renfrew
Super light weight and creamy formula will hide yout dark circles and imperfections naturally! The best part is that you use very little so it last forever! Another bonus is that it doesn’t crease as much as most concealers.
Steal… Sephora Brand Cooling Cover Stick $13 CAD
Available at Sephora
I have mentioned this product before, and I love it so much it deserves another shout out! The cooling cover stick conceals imperfections with full coverage! Simply apply directly to your skin and blend with your finger tips and watch your blemishes and under eye circles disappear! Available in 2 skin tone shades and a mint green which is great for redness.
Mascara
Splurge… Lancome Ôscillation Water-Resistant Mascara $39 CAD
Available at The Bay and Sears Lancome Counters
This is by far my fave mascara of the moment! The brush actually vibrates to wrap around every lash and gives the best lash I have seen in a mascara in a long time! The water-resistant formula is smooth and applies nice and silky… no clumps, no smudging, meaning no raccoon eyes! Every client I have ever used this mascara on has told me they always get compliments!
Steal… Revlon Luxurious Lengths Mascara $6.99 CAD
Available at London Drugs
This is a great all-in-one mascara! The brush is designed to lifts lashes as well as separate them. The formula is gel based and will not flake or smudge!
Lipgloss
Splurge… Hourglass Extreme Sheen Lip Gloss $32 CAD
Available at Sephora
What I really like about this gloss is that it’s natural… no parabens, no sulfates and no synthetic dyes! The formula is hydrating and long wearing, no bleeding or feathering at all! LOVE this gloss, worth every penny! Available in a variety of colors.
Steal… Fresh Sugar Lipgloss $20 CAD
Available at Sephora
This gloss gives you everything you need… shine, hydration, and conditioning… and it won’t empty your pocket book doing so! Available in a variety of colors, all sugar scented and delicious!

Chain Gang
Join the chain gang with a pile of necklaces layered together. This is one instance where more is just not enough. Take it from Jessica Biel and Sandra Bullock who looked like they made away with the pirate’s treasures and paired their stack of jewels with a simple and sleek outfit. Already made multi layered chain necklaces make this look super easy to pull off. But if you’re feeling creative, layer several of your favorite single strand necklaces together for a one of a kind combination that’s totally off the chain.
L-R
Harriet Grey Pearls Rhinestones & Beads Necklace
Messy Chain Necklace, Urban Outfitters
Multi Chain Necklace , Banana Republic
Beaded Chain Necklace $7.80 CAD, Forever21
