Hello Lovelies :)
I decided to do a countdown of my top 12 drugstore makeup products. I actually have many drugstore makeup products but I decided to condense it to my top 12 that I reach for. Enjoy :)
1. Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless Serum Primer 30ml
This is primer is amazing. It actually has a dual purpose both as a primer and moisturizer. The consistency is creamy and blends smoothly onto the face. It doesn't clog pores; it's oil free and good for sensitive skin. The primer contains ingredients from the famous OLAY moisturizers, which is an amazing skin care line.
2. Covergirl Nature Luxe Liquid Silk Foundation Shade 340, 30ml
I have blogged about this foundation previously, but honestly it is a great foundation especially one which does not feel heavy on the face. It blends easily and it has an SPF of 10, which is good for the summer months. It has a silky, smooth consistency and it blends well.
3. Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation, Shade Light Beige 18g
This is a great foundation however you need to moisturize your face if you apply it. The texture is literally like mousse and it absorbs nicely when applying. It evens the skin and it looks natural on.
4. Maybelline Dream Matte Powder, Shade Beige Medium 9g
This powder is literally a lifesaver because my skin often gets oily during the day. If I am wearing liquid foundation I usually apply this right after as a setting powder and keep it with me just in case I need touch ups. It mattifies your face and makes the oil disappear. Even comes with a built in mirror and sponge!
5. Revlon PhotoReady Concealer SPF20, Shade Light Medium
This is a stick concealer and I got it when I purchased the PhotoReady Powder so it came as a bonus. The concealer is creamy and the shade is nice. It blends well it hides redness and blemishes. It didn't break me out which was a plus. I basically just dab it onto my face where I think I need extra coverage and it does the job well.
6. Rimmel London Blush Shade 003 Pink Rose, 4.5g
I honestly bought this blush because Wal-Mart was having a sale and it was $3 so I thought it couldn’t hurt if I bought it. Needless to say, the pigmentation is awesome and the color gives a nice rosy touch to my cheeks. It comes with a small brush however I do not use it. This is such an amazing product for a drugstore brand. I would probably go and try out other shades as well.
7. Physicians Formula Blush Happy Booster Collection, Shade Natural
I find Physicians Formula products to be on the pricey side as nothing is ever under $10. However I heard a lot about this particular collection the "Happy" Collection that they came out with. Basically the blush is infused with Euphoryl, which is a plant, which induces happy feelings. The blush smells delicious and it has hearts engraved into the powder, which makes everything nice. The color payoff is great and it adds a nice pop of color to the cheeks. It comes in three other shades. This product also has a built in mirror and brush included.
8. Physicians Formula Bronzer Happy Booster Collection, Shade Light Bronzer
Similarly to the blush, this bronzer is also infused with Euphotyl plant. The packaging is cute and pink and it makes me feel happy just by looking at it. The product is easy to apply and it adds a nice sun kissed glow to the face. Brush and mirror also included as well.
9. Maybelline NewYork Expert Wear Eyeshadow Quad, Shade Natural Smokes
This is by far an amazing drugstore eyeshadow product. I think I own like every quad that they carry which tells you a lot about how great they are and also how much I spend ;). Anyways, the eyeshadow colors are awesome; they come in a variety of shades and looks to create. The quad actually tells you where to put each eyeshadow so that you can create an awesome look. One color is for the lid, next is crease, next is brow bone and next is outer corner. The eyeshadows last the whole day and they are worth the price. The colors compliment each other well and it is a great product for those of us who are beginners.
10. Maybelline The Falsies Volume Express Mascara, Blackest Black
This mascara is by far one of those mascara's that does exactly what it's suppose to. It lengthens the lashes, it curls them and they look fuller. At times I find that it gets too dramatic for the daytime as I don't like to look too overdone however it is amazing and I am happy with the results.
11. Maybelline One by One Volume Mascara, Blackest Black
This mascara is more subtle then the Falsies one. I use it everyday for a softer finish. It separates the lashes and gives them a nice fuller look. As always make sure you curl your lashes before applying any mascara as it creates a better effect.
12. Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm 4.25g
This is a lip balm for those who love to have moisturized lips, which let's face it everyone wants. It smells great and it smoothes the lips and creates a nice tingling feeling. The product is made up of natural ingredients and it conditions and nourishes. I think lip balm is essential as it protects the lips and makes them feel soft.
