Now I'm going to list some of my all time drugstore beauty favorites for you to check out. Maybe you already know and love these too or maybe you are new to make up and want a cheap start. Here is a list of my all time drugstore beauty favorites:
Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25 Hour Full Coverage Foundation
This foundation is so nice because it is a full coverage foundation but it doesn't feel like you are caking on layers of gooey stuff that will take hours to get off later. It is very easy to apply and my brush (I use the Real Techniques Retractable Kabuki brush ((also a drugstore find))) does not leave weird streaks on my face like other brush/foundation combinations have. You can find this product at any drugstore that sells Rimmel products. I get mine at Target or Ulta for around $7.99 USD.

Rimmel London Kate Moss Lip Balm in 01 Clear
This is the best lip balm I have ever found. There are so many different lip balms on the market now a days and it is so hard to tell which are going to work and which aren't. I was so happy when I found this one mostly because it was so cute and I figured no one would ask me to "borrow my lip balm" because it looks just like a lip stick. I tried it out not expecting much. Most lip balms wear off of me in a few minutes and I have to be constantly applying it. I definitely expected the same with this but I was totally wrong. It wears for so long no matter what you are doing. It does run out quickly if you use it as much as I do so I would say that is the only downfall of it. It is also new to the Kate Moss collection as of 2016 so I have only been able to find it at my local Ulta for $5.49 USD.

Maybelline Master Hi-Light by Facestudio Hi-Lighting Bronzer (Dupe for Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder)
I found this highlighting bronzer through a dupe article when I was looking at articles for the Hourglass Lighting Powder. For anyone who may not know a dupe is when a product is in the same exact color and does the same exact thing just made by a different company and is cheaper. Now I was search for the Hourglass Lighting Powder for a while because I had heard a lot of really good things about it but I could not find it at any of the stores around me. When I found this dupe online I had to try it. I have fallen in love with this highlighting bronzer. I sweep a little all over my face right after my foundation and right before my contour/blush and I feel like it helps to set my foundation and give my face an all over finished look without too many different powders/cremes. You can find this at any drugstore that sells Maybelline but I have gotten mine at Ulta or Target for $9.99 USD.

Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lipstick
This lipstick is amazing because it does not make your lips look dry like other matte lipsticks do. You have to like bright color lipsticks (I like a nice balance of bright and neutral) because they only come in bright/vivid colors but all of the colors are super pretty. The applicator is really nice and spongy and the container is nice and small like a regular lipstick would be. It doesn't seem like a lip gloss at all. That is the one thing I was afraid of the most because I do not like lip glosses. It is very smooth and dries really nicely. You can get them at any store that sells Maybelline but I have gotten mine at Ulta or Target for $7.99 USD.

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick
This lipstick is the brand that got me obsessed with lipstick as a small teenager many years ago. It has such a wide variety of colors and finish that you could literally spend hours in front of the section just staring at them. I have so many different colors and finishes from this brand that it is hard to differentiate anymore. It is such a great product because they are true to color, they go on easy and they stay on almost all day. I usually reapply after I eat no matter what lipstick I am wearing so I am not sure if it would last all day or not. You can get these at literally every drugstore. I get them everywhere for around $7.99 USD.

Maybelline The Colossal Volume Express Mascara
This is the brand of mascara I have been using since I started wearing make up. I have tried so many other brands but none of them compare to this one. I have extremely shaky hands and this applicator and wand make it extremely easy to put on my mascara where as a lot of other brands make it very difficult. The color is very bright and always true to color. It hardly clumps and the little it does I don't really mind because I have very long and curly lashes. I have never used a mascara curler in my life because I have never needed too so this very basic mascara works wonders for me. I get this at every drugstore and some stores sell it by the cash registers for around $6.99 USD.

Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water
This is the best make up remover I have ever come across. I have never liked using make up remover wipes to take off make up because I always felt like they just pushed the make up into your skin/pours but I could never find a healthier alternative until I came across this. It is a make up removing water and face wash in one. The one thing I do not like about it is since I do wear a full coverage foundation it does not get it all off so I still use a Micellar Water based make up removing wipe to my face after I use this to take off my make up just to make sure all of my foundation is off; which usually it isn't. I have only been able to find this at Ulta for $8.99 USD.
