Drugstore Favorites, part 1
Sorry I haven't done my Darling Girl cosmetics review yet! I am at the very last of my Concrete Minerals primer, and I don't have enough left to do swatches. Hopefully a new one should be here early this week! Since I am on a very low-buy, I thought I'd do a couple posts highlighting some of my favorite drugstore products, nice and cheap, mmm :)
First up is the FabuLiners from the InColor line of Jordana products. These are available at Walgreens for the amazing price of $1.50. They are great for those of you who, like me, don't do well with liquid liner, because these have the nice felt-tip ends instead of bristles. So far I have only ever seen them in brown and black, I hope they add more colors someday! The lasting power isn't insane, you might have to reapply at the inner corner of your eyes a bit, but that's fine by me for only $1.50!
Next up is the Blushable Creme Stick by NYC! If you don't already own at least one of these, WHY NOT? Ever since they came out, beauty bloggers have raved about them, and for good reason. This is my go- to blush. The stick form is so convenient, and being a creme bush it is super easy to blend.I think I got mine for about $4 from Meijer (Midwest only super center) in the shade Big Apple Blush.
That first swatch is with the stick twice over bare skin, and next to it is twice over bare skin, and blended in.
The last one is a product I'm not normally a big fan of- lipstick! My problem with lipstick is that it's the part of my makeup I don't want to be bold, and I have a hard time finding lipsticks that are basically just my lips but better. This is why I only own about 8. But Rimmel Moisture Renew lipstick in Coral Shimmer is awesome! It has a nice, not old-lady type smell, it comes in super cute purple packaging, and it is nice and sheer (I like sheer lipsticks) and VERY moisturizing! It applies so smoothly. I got this for $7 at Walgreens, but Rimmel is currently 40% off, so you would only pay $4.19 plus tax!
I'll end this post with two of favorite things, makeup and one of my kitties :3
