Steph's Go to Drug Store MakeUp Products
Hey Guys,
Today is all about my favourite drug store products. I'm poor and can't actually afford high end make up so I usually borrow Jess' stuff.. But I do have quite a range of drug store products on hand Here are my go to ones:
Primer: I've tried quite a few but the best one I used was the Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer. It smoothes the skin leaving it soft and hydrated, hides fine lines and reduces pore size (which is my main thing about primers!) Retails at Priceline for $29.95. Worth every cent! A little goes a long way.
Foundation: I can't even think of anything I would use from the drugstore foundations then the Maybelline FitMe Foundation Matte+Poreless. I live by this foundation to the point I have it in about 3 different shades. When I don't tan/winter I am the shade 120. My natural summer shade/between tans is 235 and when I am freshly tan I am 310. This foundation is full coverage and covers all my pore and imperfections amazing. Plus it stays on my face all day without a setting spray and even a primer if I don't have one. Retails at Priceline $19.95
Bronzer: This one was a little harder cause I don't normally use a drug store bronzer. (I'm a Hola girl I can't even deny it) But I have found the Rimmel Natural Bronzer gives an all over sun-kissed glow with the extra shine and doesn't look orangery like some bronzers do. This one is $15.95 from Priceline.
Blush: I have two for this one purely cause it depends on the shade I want. If I am going for a pinky toned blush I use the Maybelline Master Hi-Light bronzer in Pink Rose. This is adds a subtle tint of colour to my cheeks as well as a little shimmer if I don't want to wear highlighter (which is never lets be honest). Retails at $19.95
If I want to go peachy, coral blush I use Rimmel Lasting Finish Soft Colour in Coral. This blush is highly pigmented and just like it says has a lasting finish. Retails at $9.95
Highlighter: Now I don't know if this is technically 'drug store' but I know it is cheap. I can't beat the Make up Revolution Baked Highlighter in Peach Lights. It's just so pretty!! I sometimes layer it up with the Make up Revolution Highlighter in Exhale. You can get these off TAM Beauty for $4.91 and $8.20
Eyeliner: Again Revlon have done it. The Colour Creme Gel Eyeliner is super pigmented, really creamy and easy to apply and work with! One of my all time favourite eye liners!! Priceline have this bad boy at $24.95
Mascara: I am obsessed with long spidery lashes. No clue why but I am. I recently had to purchase a new mascara when I was in Melbourne cause I forgot to pack one. Ran into a pharmacy and got the first one I saw. Best Choice ever!!! Maybelline's Illegal Length mascara gives me the lashes I dream of! It has fibre extensions that attach to your lashes. Which is pretty cool considering its only $18.95 and from my knowledge you normal pay more for fibre mascaras.
Brows: I was a powder girl for a while and I used the L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Genius Kit in the light shade. It has a wax and a powder. This is $15.95 at Priceline. But I recently started using the Colourpop Brow Promade and my god its amazing! The fact that is only $6.00 is amazing. Warning though if your outside of America the postage is a bitch. (Only downside)
Setting Spray: Can't beat the Australis Setting Spray. I know a lot of people that use this and I have heard nothing but good things! I don't really see the point in buying an expensive setting spray when these ones do the exact same thing (I find anyway, Urban Decays All Night Setting Spray is probably the only one I would spend money on) It's $15.95 at Priceline.
Lips: Would have to be any Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick or a Maybelline one. I don't really have a favourite of this cause well I like to have a wide variety of lip colours!
Well, there we go. My favourite Drug Store Products. Let us know if you have any others we should try! Or just what you favourite products are!
