My Favorite Drugstore Products

Sorry I haven't been on for awhile, but school has been a little bit crazy. In this post I want to share my favorite drugstore beauty products. I think I have a few of the top brand products from Sephora, but most of them are from your drugstore. When I'm experimenting with makeup I go to the drugstore and get some inexpensive stuff that if I don't like it then I don't really care how much I spent. So, for that kind of purpose I usually go to Target and get e.l.f. products or Wet'n Wild at Walgreens. If you're a first time makeup user, instead of starting with the big stuff then start off drugstore. I've been searching for the perfect products for a long time and I found some that I absolutely love, and that's why I want to share them with you!
Foundation (Sorta):
I don't really use foundation I like to go light with BB Cream. The one on the left is from Neutrogena and gives a nice shimmer when applied. The one on the right is Maybelline's Dream Fresh BB it's really easy to blend and is like liquid foundation. I like both of these because I can't find the perfect color for me and I am tanner in the summer and lighter in the winter. In the summer I have a darker shade of the Neutrogena one and for the winter I have a lighter shade of the Maybelline BB. Right now though I put half and half on my hand then mix it together and I get the perfect color. The Maybelline BB is about $7 and the Neutrogena is around $10. (btw these are not the colors I use)


Powder:
I love the Maybelline Dream Matte Powder! I use it all the time to set my makeup or if I don't put on any "foundation" then I will just dust a bit of this on. This is one of my must have's and goes everywhere with me! Everywhere. I believe it was about $7.

                       
Lips:
I have about a million lip stuff, but the one that I come back to again and again is Maybelline's Baby Lips. I have one on me all the time so when my lips get chapped or I need some color I can swipe it on. These come in many colors and come in clear too because they aren't just lip color they also moisturize. In the winter I just stock up on these! There's a new kind out that I would love to try and it's Dr. Rescue, which is meant especially for chapped or damaged lips, the name Dr. Rescue.
 Mascara:
I recently started using this mascara and I can not get over it. I love it sooooo soooo much! It's Covergirl's Clump Crusher and is absolutely amazing. Like it says it leaves zero clumps. I had to get used to putting it on because the brush is slanted so you want to keep the brush horizontal when putting it on so the brush looks like an arc. I use this every single day of my life! I can't exactly remember how much it was because I got it on sale, but I love this!
Makeup Remover:
Before I cleanse my face I use this to take off my eye makeup because I don't like to cleanse my eyes. It's Neutrogena's oil-free eye makeup remover. It doesn't leave any kind of residue behind. My tip for it is to shake it very well before using because you see the difference in the bottle of where the solution splits. Also, wipe your eye with a wet towel or washcloth after removing the makeup. I love it because it even gets waterproof mascara off! I'm not sure how mush it was though.


That's basically it, but if you want to try this I totally recommend them! I haven't tried every single makeup brand or product at the drugstore, but this is what I love out of what I have tried!
