Budget-friendly makeup for your makeup lover monito-monita

But don’t worry if you’re going for the more affordable route with your shopping; spending on a budget this holiday season won’t put you on Santa’s naughty list. 

If you’ve got a monito-monita or friends who are makeup lovers, here are quality makeup products that prove that you don’t have to break the bank for a full face beat.
