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!

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!
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!
Frequently asked questions
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!
Almay Pure Blends Bronzer
Price: $11.49 at walgreens.com
Almay has astounded me yet again! I am a pale girl, I don’t think I’ve ever tanned a day in my life but this bronzergave me a beautiful sun-kissed look without making me look like I was wearing makeup or a fake tan! I also lent it to a friend that was a little bit more tan than I (not hard to believe since my complexion borders on Casper), and it gave her a beautiful natural shimmer. It’s the perfect product for anyone!
L’Oreal Infallible Never Fail Eyeliner
Price: $8.49 at walgreens.com
Finally, an eyeliner that you can use every day with ease. It looks like a felt tip marker but goes on like a dream. Smooth lines with no bumps have become a reality. Just make sure you dab the eyeliner on toilet paper a little after each eye so you don’t get powder all over the applicator and you’ll be good to go all day long!

Alright, these high intensity pigment products might just be my new favorite thing in my makeup bag. They really make your eyes stand out. The color truth cream eyeliner is more for a night on the town than a day in the office or just hanging out but man oh man does it go on smoothly. The brush may be a little hard to adjust to at first but once you get the hang of it, you’ll love it as much as I do!
