My friend asked me the other day what are my go to beauty finds when I go to the drug store. I thought it was a great question so I wanted to share. My usual makeup routine consists of natural and organic makeup as I try to use that as much as possible but I do definitely have some great products that I get from places like CVS and Target.
Lipstick
My favorite brand of lipstick is Revlon. I like the Revlon color stay satin ink and a great color is Partner in Crime. I pair it with long-lasting color stay Revlon lipliner in the color nude. This combination is truly long lasting, mine stayed on for hours. I do suggest adding a hydrating lip gloss or lip balm over it because it does tend to dry out my lips.
Another great lipstick by Revlon is Apricot Fancy. This was my go to color back in the day and I am so glad I picked it up to add back into my collection. It’s a great color especially loved it in the Summer when I have a tan.
Eyeliner
I love L’oreal LeLiner signature eyeliner. I use the color noir cashmere which is black. It does stay in place on my eyes and occasionally will run but stays for most of the day. Its a twist liner which I like so I don’t have to worry about sharpening the pencil.
Makeup remover
I have super sensitive skin but Neutrogena makeup remover works well at removing my makeup and I can put on my face without worrying about break outs. It is hard for me to find something that works well and doesn’t irritate my skin but these cleaning towelettes definitely do the trick.
NYX Eyebrow pencil
NYX eyebrow pencil espresso is one of my favorite pencils. It gives good coverage without making my eyebrows seems to dark or colored. There is a brush on the other end which I use to smooth out my brows.
Mascara
L’oreal voluminous in blackest black was always my go to mascara for years but I tried Sky High from Maybelline and I love it. I also got a recommendation for Bambi eye mascara so I will try that and will let you know how it is in a follow up review.
Under Eye Concealer
Tarte shape tape is my favorite under eye concealer but I have to say I am super impressed with Maybelline Instant Age Rewind. The coverage was great and I like that the sponge was built into the applicator. I used the color light and it was good coverage and also brightened my face.
I use these in my makeup product rotation often and would recommend them for a quick and cost effective option.
