Great Drugstore Buys

Annabelle Skin True Foundation
      
I personally find foundation to be the most important step of makeup application. The common assumption is to splurge on it, though there are many high-end brands that have great foundations 
( Makeup forever's HD foundation, Clinique, MAC) there are some drugstore brands that do have some reaaaaaallyyy good ones as well. One of which is Annabelle's Skin True foundation. It comes in different shades but the best ones would be natural ivory, medium beige, and soft tan. I say this because these are the foundations with flattering undertones. The other ones give off a pinkish undertone which on most people is not very flattering.





Revlon ColorStay Foundation

 I am a huge fan of the Revlon ColorStay foundations. It gives a great full coverage and it comes in many different shades. All the foundations in this line also specify what kind of skin it is best for (oily/combination, dry. etc)
The Revlon ColorStay line has often been compared to Makeup Forever's HD foundation.



Rimmel Sexy Curves waterproof mascara

I am in love with Rimmel's waterproof Sexy Curves mascara. Firstly, I like is because i really have a disdain for clumping, with this product i have never once had to deal with annoying clumps of mascara. Secondly, its a really great and effective waterproof mascara.

Revlon ColorStay eyeliner

Among many reasons why I love this eyeliner, one would be because it glides incredibly softly along the waterline. It is an intense black.

Burt's Bees Beeswax lip balm

This is one of my favorite lip balms. It gives off a soothing and cooling effect that feels great.


Neutrogena Make-up Remover

A great product for when you're too lazy or unable to wash your face before bed (not that i recommend not washing your face) or when you're not at home.


L'OREAL's Infalliable lip color

Imagine a lip stick you apply in the morning and doses not smear or disappear all through the day. L'OREAL's Infalliable never fail lip color comes in varying shades, which are all really pretty. My personal favorite is "Amber", the orange-y peach shade

GlaxalBase Moisturizing cream

This is a really good moisturizing cream to use before applying foundation. Not to mention it's hypo-allergenic.
Maybelline Eye studio gel liner

This is a product that really surprised me. It's a gel liner that i find is very similar to Bobbi Brown's longwear eye gel.


Annabelle's mineral blush in sugar rush

A nice pink-y blush. Apply with a blush brush and apply gradually (it can look really intense if you don't apply gradually)

Maybelline Falsies Mascara VOLUM' EXPRESS

Another great druggstore mascara that seperates your lashes, to make it look more defined and full.
