If you all read my last blog post you will know that I am spending 2012 being more frugal. I have found some drug store makeup that I am completely obsessed with and wanted to share them with you.
Foundation: I noticed that a lot of YouTube Beauty gurus have been using Revlon Colorstay foundation or the Photo Ready foundation and I became curious. I wanted to try it myself. Now, it has been a long time since I have used a drugstore foundation, so I was a little surprised that they were as expensive as they are. I purchased a bottle of the Photo Ready by Revlon in the color Nude. I am pretty fair right now!
My opinion: This is an amazing foundation! I can't believe it. I have been wearing it everyday. The coverage is great and you don't need that much of it because a little goes a long way! I will continue to use this foundation daily.
Eyeshadow: I was attracted to the colors in the Covergirl eyeshadow quads that are made for Hazel eyes. I really just wanted the matte dark brown in it! I must say that the pigments aren't that bad. I wouldn't use them over my high end eyeshadows but, in a pinch it's nice to have them on hand. The colors are pretty! I would definitely recommend this if want pretty eyeshadows on a budget.
Mascara: I have always loved Covergirl Lash Blast! I will continue to use it. I don't like it by itself but, I do like it layered with my Lancome Oscillation Intensity. Mascara has a very short shelf life, the longest you should have a tube is 3 months. I would actually recommend throwing it away after 6 weeks. It can really harbor bacteria! Hello eye infections! With a short shelf life that can get very expensive so, I stick to the cheap mascara.
Moisturizer: I am not currently using this moisturizer but, did in the past. Dr. Lewinn by Kinerase has a line for drugstores and the SPF 30 moisturizer didn't break me out and I felt very protected from the sun daily! I have switched to Mario Badescu and love it too! It's about the same in price and more geared to my skin type.
My favorite multi-purpose product: Alba un-Petroleum Jelly, I use this for lots of different things and it's not yucky like regular petroleum jelly. I use it at night to set my skincare and protect my skin, chapped lips, around my eyes at night, dry skin, you can make your very own lip balms out of it, etc. It's only about $5! That is quite a deal!
I hope this helps you in the makeup department of your favorite drugstore find good quality items. I would love to hear what items you have tried that you love.
Peaces!
