Favorite Drugstore Makeup Products

So today I want to share, you guessed, my drugstore favorites!You're shocked aren't you?These are all products I own and truly love & pretty much believe my life can't go on without.Just wanted to point out that I didn't throw together a random list of affordable products, I own them all and it just happens to be a plus that they're on the more affordable side. :-)Some are cult classics and others are what I consider hidden gems.

1. Rimmel Lip Liner in "Eastend Snob"

-Click Here to Shop-

A true love of mine.  It's just the perfect "your lips but better" color.

The staying power, YALL, amazing.. 

2. ColourPop Liquid Lipstick in "Clueless"

-Click Here to Shop-

This isn't technically a "drugstore" product but it's at a drug store price point.

A near perfect dupe for Anastasia Beverly Hills "Dusty Rose", it's super gorgeous

and great all year round!

3. Garnier BB Cream for Oily to Combo Skin

-Click Here to Shop-

If you know me at all or have read any other blog post of mine then you know this is

just the dear dear love of my life.

I have the light/medium & the medium/deep- love them both.

4. Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

-Click Here to Shop-

I'm not a huge fan of using brushes to blend liquids.

I just feel like total Betty Crocker aka the dreaded cake face queen.

So this is my go to.  BB creams, concealer, all those liquids!

5. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer

-Click Here to Shop-

I've heard this is a good dupe for the Nars concealer.  

Can't speak on that myself; however, I do love this stuff. 

I own a few shades and haven't been disappointed yet.

6. L'Oreal Infallible Eye Shadow in "Iced Latte"

-Click Here to Shop-

TOTAL DUPE ALERT... Stila Kitten!

Hello, best dupe ever.. Like ever..

I own this & the Stila and honestly some days this is more pigmented!

So gorgeous all over the lid.

7. Neutrogena Shine Control Powder

-Click Here to Shop-

Amazing. Done. Go get it.

I've tried other setting powders but this is my old faithful that I keep going back to.

It's like a man..  You're comfortable naked around him and you just always go back.

It does wonders in the summer for controlling all my grease and never looks cakey!

8. Maybelline Master Highlight in "Molten Gold"

-Click Here to Shop-

Maybelline killed it with this one you guys!  Amazing formula.

Seriously such a gorgeous highlight.  I just want to swim in it.  Also makes for a gorgeous lid color.

If you're on the more fair side this may not be for you but with a tan, AHHHHHMAZING.

9. ULTA Lipliner in "Bare"

-Click Here to Shop-

I picked this up on a whim..  Ulta always has that buy 2 get 2 free deal (or whatever it is)

so I was just grabbing things.  

I really love this nude.  It looks so natural and applies like a dream.

10. ULTA Matte Makeup Setting Spray

-Click Here to Shop-

So..  This stuff..  I'm really not even sure where to begin.

I could bathe in this..  I kind of want to drink it..  Okay, maybe I'm getting carried away.

But I love it!

This was a trial & error product but once I figured it out, I'm obsessed.  

You have to spray it very sparingly, too much and it'll make you seem oilier than usual.

I'll likely never buy a high-end setting spray again.

Seriously y'all, this stuff is better than my All Nighter by UD.

It also smells really good..  Double win.

11. Wet n Wild Lipstick in "Fergie Daily"

-Click Here to Shop-

The most perfect brown-toned nude I own.  Not kidding.

It blends into my natural lip color so perfectly.

It isn't too brown and doesn't have a pinky undertone.  It's perfect.

Simply perfect.  

12. ULTA Clear Brow Gel

-Click Here to Shop-

So, I've seen that this has mixed reviews on the Ulta website... DO NOT let that deter you!

Again, that damn 2 for 2 special got me.  Lol

I really needed something to tame my wild brows though and this stuff is like gorilla glue.

Love it.

I remove it the same as I do all my other makeup and never have an issue. 

13. Milani Baked Blush in "Luminoso"

-Click Here to Shop-

Possibly the most gorgeous drugstore blush you could ever own.

If you only own 1 blush, it should be this 1.

It isn't too intense and super buildable.

Beautiful on any skin tone and just adds a very subtle sheen.

And there you have it..  My must-have products from the drugstore and it's my strong opinion that you must have them too!  So run, don't walk.:-D

First Impressions | Neutrogena Hydro Boost Foundation, Stila Magnificent Metals Shadows & Bare Minerals Butter Gloss

Hey y'all!   

So I picked up some new goodies at Ulta the other day.  

I tried out a few of them today and wanted to do a little first impressions post. 😊

*I wore these products for roughly 7 hours to get a good feel for them & an idea of how they wear.

1. Neutrogena Hydro Boost (Nude 40):
So I'm pretty impressed by this stuff!  I applied it with a beauty blender.  It applied smoothly, didn't crease, settle, or look cakey.  There's really nothing out there that I've tried that I love as much as the Garnier BB Cream for combo to oily skin but this 1 is a contender.  It's super comparable; however, it's consistency is thicker and it has more claims that would ultimately be better for your skin.
I have also heard it's a near exact dupe for the $110 La Mer foundation.
(Compliments of ShadesofKassie on YouTube.)
I don't really know if it would necessarily work as well for me in Summer months because I'm more oily and I started to get shiny near the end of the day but it's definitely a winner!

2. Stila Magnificent Metals (Rose Gold Retro):  
1 word. Obsessed!  Living, Dying, Resuscitating for these!!
These shadows are so gorgeous I really just have no words.  My only negative is that it has a bit of fall out that got in my lashes and was slightly blinding. Next time I'm definitely going to try it with a primer, but even if it doesn't help they're totally worth being temporarily blind for!
As far as a similar comp, I think they are in a league of their own, BUT the Maybelline Tattoo Chrome shadows are somewhat similar for a fraction of the price.  The Tattoo shadows have more of a gritty glitter texture and are harder to remove hence the name "tattoo", the Stila shadows have a bit of fall out but are far more intense in my opinion.
Swatches comparing the 2 shades I have are below.

TOP: Maybelline "beige luster"

BOTTOM: Stila "rose gold retro"

  

 Natural Sunlight VS iPhone Flash

3. Bare Minerals Gen Nude Butter Gloss (Groovy):
This is such a pretty color, I hyperventilated!  The perfect soft nude/ pale pink shade.  As far as price point, I can't help but feel there's better/ similar products at the same price or even cheaper but overall I liked it. It's super pigmented and long lasting to be a gloss.  I'd compare it to Buxom "White Russian" as far as consistency and staying power.  I wore it with a nude liner and it looked really nice.  I think it would be a great lipstick topper too.  Definitely worth checking out!!

Here's some additional photos wearing these products....

Overall, these gave me the feels you guys, and I'm impressed.

I definitely want to grab 1 or 2 more shades of the Stila shadows!

There's so many new makeup products coming out this Spring & Summer, I can't wait!

I hope you guys enjoyed this post.
Stay tuned for more first impressions posts!

Til next time..
