FAVORITE DRUGSTORE PRODUCTS ! :))

hey everyone :) 

With today's economy buying expensive name-brand makeup becomes a luxury that we often times cannot fit into our budget. I have tested and LOVED a few drugstore products that are affordable and that actually do the job! I hope this will save some of you money and give you an idea of what to look for at the drugstore. 

Essence of Beauty Cosmetic Brushes

 

 Cosmetic brushes are a neccessity if you are a frequent makeup user. There are a TON of options--yet the options given are usually out-of-this-world expensive. My favorite drugstore cosmetic brushes are the "Essence of Beauty" brushes. The brushes are easily recognizable; they have a cream colored handle with a black tip. The brushes are very inexpensive and give really great payoff. All the Essence of Beauty brushes that I own have not shed once and they are made from premium goat hair. 

GREAT LASH - Clear Mascara

Although clear mascara is not a necessity to all makeup collections, it can easily be added because of this cheap alternative to high-end products. This clear mascara works GREAT as a brow gel--it really works just as good (if not better) as mac's brow gel. This also can be used to help curl your eyelashes. 

Fashion Lashes + DUO Eyelash Adhesive

A quick, easy, and inexpensive way to spice up your look is to add false lashes. Falsies give the apperance of longer, thicker, lashes with loads of volume. These eyelashes and eyelash adhesive are found and most drugstores and work BETTER than mac eyelashes. The eyelashes can be reused if taken care of and the Duo Adhesive lasts and lasts and lasts. ( a TINY drop goes a long way with this particular glue )

L'OREAL Carbon Black Liner Intense Felt Tip Liquid Liner

My ALL TIME, holy grail, FAVORITE liquid liner, favorite LINER of all liners is the L'oreal Carbon Black Liner Intense. This is the BLACKEST of all blacks, goes on smooth against your eye, is inexpensive, and very versatile. This liner can make a thick line, a thin line, a winged affect, anything you want, this liner can do. This liner stays on all day, yet is easily removed. I cannot say enough great things about this product !!!

Revlon Lipstick in "Soft Nude"

One of the best nude lipsticks is Revlon's "Soft Nude." This is a very creamy lipstick that has great color payoff.  It is also very inexpensive and it lasts for a very long time ! It has a minimal scent which is unlike many drugstore lipsticks.

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm

My favorite chapstick is Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm. The formula is very cooling on the lips and leaves your lips moisturized, but not glossy. This particular chapstick comes in a few other colors and scents but I prefer the original.
