Drugstore Favorites


I recently posted on Instagram asking for some suggestions for blog posts, and one follower suggested a post on my favorite drugstore items. This is the perfect time for me to talk about this because I've really been loving drugstore makeup lately. I'm trying to cut back on my spending when it comes to makeup and beauty (I've got a honeymoon to save for!), so the drugstore has been a big life saver lately! Keep reading to find out what products I love from the drugstore. 

      Olay Complete All Day UV Moisturizer- This is my favorite day-time moisturizer because it has SPF and it is light weight enough to wear under makeup.
      Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes- I’ve tried several makeup removing wipes, and these are definitely my favorite. I think they do a good job of removing your makeup (I just use them on my face and I use Pond’s Cold Cream to remove eye makeup) and they are inexpensive.
      Revlon Colorstay and Colorstay Whipped foundations- These aren’t just my favorite drugstore foundations, they are my favorite foundations overall! They both have medium to full coverage and they are super blendable and easy to apply.
      Covergirl CG Smoothers concealer- This is my favorite concealer for blemishes because it covers them really well without getting dry and cakey.
      Maybelline Fit Me concealer- I like this concealer for under my eyes. It’s probably my second favorite concealer overall (MAC Pro Longwear is my favorite).
      Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder- I don’t like to use this all over my face because it is SUPER mattifying, but I usually use my Laura Mercier finishing powder all over and then use Stay Matte on my chin and forehead (the areas I get oily). It helps keep my oily areas more matte throughout the day.
      Milani Baked Bronzer- This is a great bronzer for summertime because it has a little shimmer in it. It’s great for an all over bronzer to warm up the face.
      NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils- Yogurt and Iced Mocha- I love using these pencils as my eyeshadow base. They definitely will crease if you use them alone, so I always use an eyeshadow over it.
      Loreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Amber Rush- These Infallible eyeshadows are to die for! They are so soft and pigmented, and this color is absolutely gorgeous.
      Milani Liquif’eye Eyeliner Pencil- I like my eyeliner pencils to be super creamy so they are easy to smudge out. This one is the best pencil I’ve tried so far!
      Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner- I’m a gel eyeliner lover and this one is my holy grail. I used to be obsessed with the Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner, but this one is just as good (if not better) and about a third of the price!
      Maybelline mascaras- Maybelline has the best mascaras in the drug store. My favorite are Mega Plush Volum’ Express and Pumped Up Colossal!
      Essence I Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara- I’ve talked about this mascara in a few posts because it is great! It gives amazing volume and length.
      NYX Butter Glosses- These glosses are the best if you are looking for pigmentation. They give the pigmentation of lipstick, but with added shine and creaminess.
