Favorite Drugstore Face Products

Hey guys! I’ve been wanting to do a drugstore post for a while now. I love drugstore makeup and most of my collection is filled with it. I quickly realized I had a lot of favorites and too many to limit to 10! So I decided I would include all of my favorites, by categories. First we will start with face products!

Foundation:

Revlon Colorstay whipped foundation. I love this product, it definitely lives up to its name and will last all day. I am in the color 200 sand beige. I prefer the whipped formula because my skin tends to be dry and I feel this is more moisturizing. This product sells for around $13.

ELF Flawless finish foundation. This has been a favorite of mine for a while. The color and coverage are great. I will say its not the best long lasting foundation, but for everyday this is a go to. I am in the shade sand. You can find this at target or eyeslipsface.com for $6.

Concealer:

I don’t use concealer that often, but if I really need to cover something I reach for Hard Candy’s glamoflauge. This is a heavy duty concealer, a little goes a long way. If applied to heavy it can tend to look cakey. I am in the shade light, as far as I know there are only a couple of shade options. You can find this product at Walmart for $6.

Bronzer:

Elf healthy glow bronzing powder in sunkissed.  I love this stuff. It is not too dark and no orangey undertones. A really nice bronze color with a hint of shimmer, for a perfect glow. The best part its only $1.

NYC smooth skin bronzing powder in sunny. This bronzer is great because it is completely matte. Perfect for contouring. Generally retails for $2-3.

Highlight:

Hard Candy blush crush baked blush, honeymoon (127). Even though this is a blush I love using it as a highlight. It reminds me of MAC’s mineralized skin finish powders. Can be found at Walmart for around $6-7.

Sometimes for a matte highlight I will use NYX jumbo eye pencil in milk. I love using this if I am going for a strong highlight and contour. $4-5

Elf shimmering facial whip in lilac petal. This products creates a beautiful glow, but be careful not to use too much product, I made that mistake and looked like Edward from Twilight lol. $1

Blush:

Wet n Wild blush in pearlescent pink. A really beautiful peachy pink color with a little bit of shimmer. $2-3

Well those are all my favorite drugstore face products, stay tuned for my favorite drugstore eye and lip products! :)

June Favorites

Hey guys!,

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, I’ve been a little busy the past couple of weeks. I usually get my favorites up before the end of the month and post photos of all of them. However since I’ve been busy I’m just going to post photos of the products from the internet and let you know why they have been my favorites lately.

Lets get into it:

Revlon just bitten kissable balm stain in the shade crush:

Probably my favorite favorite, if that makes any sense at all. Love this lip product so much! It goes n nice and smooth and lasts a long time. I love this deep plum color. Lately I’ve been into a fairly bare eye and a bold lip. I also have this product in the color darling, but crush is by far my favorite. This shade will be perfect for fall. 

Another lip product is Maybellines nude nuances. I’m not sure if this color is available for sale anymore. I hope it is, because it is a beautiful pink-nude. I love to pair it with Victoria's Secret lip gloss in innocent:

My last lip product also comes from Maybelline, in the color fuchsia fever:

This lipstick is bold and beautiful. I’ve been wearing it a lot lately, it is perfect for summer!

I think I mentioned this in my last favorites, but I’m still using it basically everyday. Hard Candy Blush Crush in Honeymoon:

A week ago I picked up another blush: Wet N WIld blush in pearlescent pink:

This blush is a pretty pink with peach tones and gold shimmer. I love pairing these two blushes together for a perfect summer glow.

Youtube guru Julie G has a nail polish line, so I had to grab the polish in Bikini. Its a bright coral neon:

I typically don’t go for bright nails, but since it is summer this is perfect time to start. The nail polish is great and dries fast which is a major plus!

My last favorite is a hair product. Got2B rockin’ it 4ever stylestay hairspray:

When I picked up their volumizing powder they included a sample of this hairspray and I ended up loving the hairspray more. It smells nice and doesn’t make your hair super sticky. I did have a hard time finding it in CVS, I ended up picking it up in a Walgreens, I think you could also buy it at Walmart.

Okay guys, thats all sorry this post was a bit rushed, I promise to be back on here soon. I do have a mini haul for you coming up! Have a goodnight all!

HAULLL

Hey guys, so I went a little crazy this weekend and I thought I would share with you all of my purchases:

First I picked up 2 nail polishes at CVS, they were on sale for 99 cents each. They are the spoiled line made my wet n wild. I got one in a pretty nude called “show me some skin” and a sparkly silver in “I have no reception”:

Next I went to wal-mart:

first I got more glamoflauge concealer just as a back up, this is a serious heavy duty concealer, for $6:

Then I saw hard candy had some beautiful blushes. At first I was going to get that fox in a box blush everyone raves about but this blush just looked so pretty and perfect for summer.I believes it was $5 Its called honeymoon:

I also picked up some lashes for $3:

Next up Target. I got a plain cami and I also picked up this cute tank on sale for $8:

Pepp and I headed to the mall yesterday and naturally our first stop was Sephora. I wanted to try out a new fragrance so I picked up a mini bottle of Amazing grace by philosophy for $15:

I had 100 pts on my beauty insider card so they gave me this blow dry cream:

Then we headed over to MAC and Pepp got a great new foundation! I picked up a lipstick in creme d’nude:

I also grabbed a lipglass in c-thru a pretty nude gloss:

Next up was vans, at vans I picked up 2 shirts:

I thought this shirt was cute and I could pair it with a cami underneath.

I thought this tank was super cute.

Okay guys thats my haul I hoped you liked it ! =)

TOO FACED SWEET DREAMS REVIEW

This Too faced palette contains an eye shadow insurance primer, fifteen eye shadows, two blushes, one highlighter and one bronzer. This palette is a little pricey at $52. It was given to me as a gift and I am definitely grateful! 

Okay so lets get into it: Eyeshadows

Im going to start from the top left:

Lovey Dovey:is a really pretty shimmery brown. It has beautiful gold shimmer in it and I have even used it as a liner. 

Teddy Bear: Definitely one of my favorite colors in the palette. This shadow is a light matte brown. It’s a great color for filling eyebrows or even a brown smokey eye.

Copper Peony: I haven’t used this color much but it is a very shimmery copper gold color.

Peach Fuzz: This shadow can be used as a highlight it fine shimmers in it.

In the Buff: Is a matte finish shadow. Which I have used as a highlight. If you don’t really like shimmery shadows this shadow will be good for you. I have heard some people complain that this shadow can be a bit chalky but I haven’t had that experience.

~Second Row~

Smolder: This shadow is a matte black. It’s not a stark black so its not too dramatic. A great color for a smokey eye as well as a liner.

Nice Ash: Is a very pretty grey shadow with fine silver shimmers in it. Combining nice ash with smolder would definitely be a great pairing for a smokey eye.

Party Girl: This purple shadow makes a statement! It has blue shimmers in it and is a bright purple. 

Cut the Cake: Is a lilac shadow with a silver hue to it. This color is would look nice with green eyes.

Satin Sheets: This color is a very shimmery light pink. Great for a highlight color but again tons of shimmer in this shadow so if thats not you stick with in the buff.

~Third Row~

First Dance: Is a deep matte purple color. If you wanted to combining first dance, cut the cake and party girl would make a purple smokey eye.

Cop a Teal: This shadow is beautiful! It reminds me of a peacock. A beautiful teal color with shimmer.

Nice Stems:  I haven’t used this shadow yet. Its a bright green with tons of shimmer!

Label Whore: Reminds me of cop a teal but darker with lots of different shimmer shades. Its one of those shadows that looks different in different lighting.

Honeymoon: This shadows is also very shimmery. Its sort of a gold-olive color. 

Overall the shadows are very pretty not a lot of matte shadows but the ones that are matte are important colors like black, brown and white and even a deep purple. The shadows are very pigmented as well. They are all very good quality.

~Shadow Insurance~

I haven’t really noticed a difference with this primer although lately I have done very natural looks, so I’ll update when I do heavy eye makeup.

~Blush/highlight/bronzer~

Cocoa Rose:  (top left) A dark pink colors with a matte finish. This color can be great for contouring. 

Sweet Pink: A much brighter pink blush with fine shimmer. 

Chocolate Soleil Bronzer: I really like this color for contouring its dark enough to really make contouring pop. 

Candlelight glow: A beautiful highlight with shimmer I use this color on the apples of my cheeks and above where I contoured. It does have a lot of shimmer so sometimes I’ll mix it with the matte in the buff to cut down on all the shimmer.

~Overall thoughts and Packaging~

The packaging of the palette looks like a story book very girly and romantic. It can be a bit bulky though. The palette also included 3 cards with different ideas for looks. Overall I am very happy with the palette I enjoy the quality of Too Faced. What I really love is the bronzer and the variety of shadows. 

Okay finally we are done with this review I think it is safe to say I am sick of the word shimmer haha! 

Happy Holidays!
