Some people use the expression, “Beauty is pain.” I say pain comes in many forms, including but not limited to, wasting all of my money on make up so I can look beautiful. I’m here to tell you ladies that sometimes you can find what you’re looking for without having to break the bank. Sometimes, what you need could be as close to you as your local drugstore, and it’s a lot cheaper too! Here are my favorite drugstore make-up picks!
1. Maybelline Lash Stiletto Ultimate Length Washable Mascara

Price: $8.99 at walgreens.com
I just started using this mascara and let me tell you, length wise it is blowing all other mascaras out of the water for me. It stays on all day and the best part is, it comes off just as easily as it goes on. Just be sure to wipe off the excess mascara on the wand before you use it or you’ll wind up with more clump than pump!
2. Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation

Price: $8.99 at walgreens.com
This is the best foundation you will ever put on your face. A little bit goes a long way but as soon as you dip your finger into the little pot, you’ll feel like you’ve touched a cloud. Just remember one dab goes really far with this so you don’t need to glob it on or you’ll look like you’re wearing a mask!
3. Revlon Beyond Natural Cream to Powder Eyeshadow

Price: $7.99 at revlon.com
These are AMAZING! Usually cream eyeshadows are greasy and you can’t put anything on over them. But Revlon has clearly been doing their research. Just put it on like any other creamy eyeshadow and let it dry and then BAM, it’s powder. So go ahead, enjoy the ease of the cream and put on that eyeliner once it dries!


Another thing you can use from a drugstore is a pack of pills for extra iron, it helps if someone,like me,looses hair especially every fall and spring or has low blood pressure.It’s surely much cheaper than the ampoules for hair treatment.

Hi Chrysa,
Everytime I have a hair-fall problem, iron and zinc pills are what my doctor prescribes. Though I think it’s always better to take a doctor’s opinion before you treat the situation yourself. There could be a hundred other reasons behind the hairfall, stress being one of the most common!
