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

$1.50! Holy crap, I'd get like 5 just incase I never saw them again (coughjoefreshblacklinercoughfuckers) hahaha. My store seriously needs to get their ass in line!
ReplyDeleteI love those Fabuliners! I bought one really spontaneously one time because I had false eyelashes on and they were malfunctioning and needed something for the top lashline.. I was doing a photoshoot and didn't have any makeup with me so I just grabbed something cheap from Walgreens and now I use it all the time! haha
ReplyDeleteOoh I must check that Jordana liner out!! I'm horrible at liquid liners so this might what I need to use! Thanks for letting me know.
ReplyDeleteKITTY!
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I may have to check out the Blushable Creme Stick. I usually stick to mineral makeup, but this looks pretty and easy! Thanks for the reviews!
ReplyDeleteOMG I love cats!!!! We have an apt with a lot of cats so I feel like I still have one! I had to give my kitty up b/c for a while i was living in a no-pets building.
ReplyDeleteRimmel lipsticks are awesome! I love all of mine, they're definetley a great drugstore buy.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap I hope they have those Jordana liners here :O I'm such a noob with liquid liner, but am a bit apprehensive to go out and buy a pen style one since I rarely use it anyway. So cheap though, so it's worth a shot!
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE that line of Rimmel lipsticks, I have Nude Delight and some brightass coral one and they feel so lovely on the lips <3
I'll definitely look into those liners! And BEAUTIFUL kitty!
ReplyDeleteI have that same blush and love it! Your cat is so cute too :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm surprised about the response to the Jordana liners! I don't know how I only just found out about them, I highly recommend :)
ReplyDelete@PoorCollegeStudent: That's so sad :( I know when I move I will miss my cats so much, my bed/floor/windowsill will always seem so empty with no kitties around.
Aww kitty. :)
ReplyDeleteI wanna try one of those blushes! Snap.
Cute kitty!
