I love splurging on beauty products, but there’s something so satisfying about finding an amazing drugstore beauty buy. Today I’m sharing what I think are the best drugstore beauty products.
- Dove Volume & Fullness Dry Shampoo: This is my go to drugstore dry shampoo. The white cast fades in my brown hair (unlike most), and really does give my thin hair some fullness. I used to scoop up the Batiste Brunette and while I appreciate the spray not being white, the dark residue would transfer on everything.
- Aquaphor: This is a MUST have product for me. I have tubs & tubes of this throughout the house. I got hooked when I was on accutane in highschool and have been using it ever since. I apply this to my lips, on any overly dry skin, etc. I also use this on my hands before I go to bed as well.
- L’Oreal Infallible 24H Wear Foundation: This is the newest to me product, and it is SO GOOD y’all. Before we left for Vegas I just couldn’t get any of my foundations to work for me. My skin was being weird, and in frustration I grabbed this foundation on an Ulta trip. I am so glad I did. This is a great foundation. It’s pretty liquidy, I apply with a beauty sponge, and it really does last ALL day. It is more of a medium coverage, I haven’t tried to build it up, but I’ve been reaching for this over my beloved Double Wear Light since I bought it. I have shade 450 for normal days & 480 for those self tanned days.
- Milani Eyeshadow: unbeknownst to me it appears they don’t make these anymore! I’m sorry! But they’re baked blush in Luminoso is a cult favorite and a great product.
- Maybelline SuperStay Ink Crayon: This is a great drugstore lipstick. It reminds me so much of the Bite Beauty lip crayons that I LOVE. I appreciate the packaging too, something about the crayon style applicator makes it so easy to apply.
- Essence Pure Nude Highlighter: I love this product & pretty much keep it in my makeup bag at all times. I don’t so much use it as a highlighter on a daily basis, but more so as an all over eyeshadow shade. It is great as a highlighter though. It is what I took to Italy to highlight with & it worked great.
- E.L.F Brushes: if you’re looking for brushes on a budget, the E.L.F. ones are great!
- L’Oreal Infallible Lacquer Liner: I have always liked the pot style eyeliners, I find the color is richer, and they really do last all day. These liners are really easy to use too!
- E.L.F. Brow Gel: I was tired of paying $20 for a little tube of brow gel. I grabbed this one for my day time looks and it’s great! It gets the job done & is only $4!
- Revlon Liquid Liner: Looking for a Stila dupe? This is it y’all, except the tube lasts much longer which is a plus.
- *not pictured* Rimmel Liners: I swear by their nude eyeliner for my water line & their lip liner in East End Snob for a gorgeous pink lip.
What are your drugstore beauty favorites?!
Before I read this blog I just ran to Walmart to get me some aquaphor!!! My knuckles are starting to chap from my hands being continuously cold (and I wash my hands a lot); this product works when lotions or even Vaseline can’t cut it! I hear Alaska fisherman use this to keep from their hands breaking open from the cold. I’m gonna try the lips though. I haven’t tried it on that! Thanks for the tips! Keep shining Doll!!
