5 Drugstore Products You Must Check Out
For me, good make-up is that kind that when you apply it, makes your face look flawless, it has to be long-lasting and above all it has to work well with your skin type. I have recently replaced some of my fave make-up products for some cheaper alternatives just because times are tough and because I want to show everyone how a cheaper product can rival a higher end one.
Here I have compiled 5 drugstore products that work wonders:
- Revlon Colorstay Overtime Mascara: The name says it all! Previously, I had been using a MAC mascara but one day on a trip to Walmart I became aware that I needed one, so, I grabbed it. I tried it on a couple of times and let me tell you that not only is this stuff long-lasting, but it is the darkest black mascara I have ever owned. It will make your eyelashes look almost fake. It makes them look longer, thicker, and shiny. This stuff is amazing. However, you will need heavy duty make-up remover lol, you have been warned!
- Revlon Colorstay Creme Gel Eyeliner: Ever since I bought MAC blacktrack I have been hooked with gel eyeliners, nevertheless, I always try to find cheaper alternatives that may compare to my favorite products, so, I found this. What I love about it, is that comes with a built in brush, which is great if you are on the go, but I can't say it's the best brush for me. I really like that this is really black and it doesn't dry as quick which allows you to work with it better. Revlon doesn't disappoint with their eyeliners but I have to say I am also a fan of their compact powders and foundations. You can find this product at any drugstore.
- Milani Eye Tech Extreme Liquid Eyeliner: Hands down to this product! I have never been a fan of liquid eyeliners until I bought this. WOW. I got it in blackest black, and let me tell you it is the blackest! Not only is it the blackest but it applies in such magnificent way; it is beyond words. I like it that it is in pen form which gives me more control. You can create lines from very thin to very thick. With this I achieve the greatest cat eye ever. This is in fact my favorite eyeliner right now. I warn you that if you don't know how to use this type to go really slow. Little by little you will master how to apply this. Top 5 rated! I plan on getting other colors as well. You can find it at CVS.
- Elf Eyelid Primer: I worship Urban Decay primer but I was at Target one night and I said well, let me give this a try and for only $1 dollar, I had nothing to lose. I tried it on one day, and omg, this stuff works as good as UO primer! It is a bit more watery but as you apply it, it becomes matte. It makes your eyelids look even and ready for your eyeshadow. I gotta say I am impressed, you get a lot of product for the money and it works really well, I say this is a total bargain ^_^
- L'oreal Paris Infallible Eyeshadow: When it comes to eye-shadows I look for 3 things; it has to stay put, it has to be very pigmented, and shimmery ( in most cases, but I also like matte eye-shadows sometimes) Well, this one is the bomb! I don't know what is on this stuff but I love how shimmery it is. I can't say enough about this eye-shadow. I got the one in iced latte which I use in the inner corner of my eyes and brow bone, and I also got eternal sunshine which is the prettiest gold ever! This eye-shadow is so versatile that you can even use it as a highlighter for other parts of your face. I am definetely going to be getting this in other colors because the quality you get compares to Urban Decay and MAC.
Well, I hope you enjoy this post, and I definitely recommend these products ^_^

I totally agree with the ELF Eyelid Primer - it's a MUST!
ReplyDeleteyes! I dont think it can get better than $1 buck hehe
Deleteill have to get that primer. my husband bought some l'orea paris infallible eyeshadow in Golden Emerald. can't wait to try it..even though im not the best at applying it. lol
ReplyDeleteI strongly recommend it, and it work well with the loreal eye-shadows. When you apply that eye-shadow try getting your brush wet, it will stick better to the brush =)
DeleteI adore the Milani line! That eyeliner is hands down the best. I've tried the elf primer and I just don't like it....I have oily lids and it just did not work....maybe due to the consistancy. UD eye primer is good but I like putting foundation on my eyelids and then an actual eye primer. It helps my eye makeup stay.....oh the joy of oily lids!
ReplyDeleteaww thats too bad! Yeah some products may act different depending on your skin =(
DeleteI definitely love Elf products! It's so affordable! :)
