I ♥ Drugstore Makeup

In case I haven’t made this fact pretty crystal clear… I love me some cheap drugstore makeup.  And it seems like the good people at places like Revlon, Maybelline, Rimmel, etc. have really been stepping up their game lately, and for this I am grateful.

As someone who has a hard time shelling out over $10 for beauty products, the fact that you can find some really amazing products at your friendly neighborhood CVS or Target makes me a very happy camper.  I’ve raved about a few of these little gems to y’all before, but just in case you’d like a more thorough glimpse into my all-time faves, here are a few for your viewing pleasure!

revlon just bitten kissable lip stains

Favorite lip product:  Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains.  Minty, pigmented, wonderful little tubes of joy.  Just buy some.  Trust me.

elf brushes

Best Makeup Bargain: ANYTHING by elf. I mean for $3 or less, you can’t really go wrong here.  But especially if you’re looking for some quality makeup brushes, these guys are my go-to-two.

revlon colorstay foundation

Favorite Face Product:  This is one of the two I mention in the video, but I am really really loving this Revlon ColorStay Foundation.  I’m still using my BareMinerals Ready foundation most days, but I like to switch it up, and when I want a little less of a “full-face” look, this is a great liquid foundation.  It’s SUPER buildable, so you can wear it really light or work it on to get lots of coverage.  Plus i think it’s like $9.99…soooo…. yeah.

As always, thanks for stopping by, and let me know what your favorites are- or if you’ve tried any of these, what did you think?

Massive Ulta Haul

Hey there, happy last day of 2012!  As I mentioned, Brandon and I have a lovely evening planned of relaxing and snuggling with Macky.  Two of my very sweet friends even bought me champagne as a birthday gift, so it looks like we’ll even have some bubbly to toast at midnight.  …If I make it til then.  (Outlook not so good.)

So I have another vlog for you guys today, and this one is what happens when you unleash me in stores like Ulta with a little bit of birthday money.  I finally picked up a few products that I’d been lusting after, as well as a few new ones I just discovered.

Here are some swatches to give a better idea of a few of the colors…

And here is the Rimmel eyebrow pencil in Hazel, and the two NYX lipliners in Mauve and Nude Pink.

I think I’m most excited about the Benefit Hoola bronzer, and do not at all feed bad about splurging on that little gem.

And as far as my other favorite, the NYX Push Up Bra for Your Eyebrows is freaking amazing.  This is one of those products I think I will have to hoard so I can have one strategically placed throughout purses, bathrooms and my desk at work. Love.
