I Heart Drugstore Makeup Tag

Hey everyone! Today I'm going to show you some of my favorite drugstore makeup with the I Heart Drugstore Makeup Tag, so let's get into it! 

1. What is your favorite drugstore makeup brand?

This question was actually pretty easy. I'd definitely say that Maybelline is my favorite brand overall because they have so many products that I love for pretty much every makeup category. Maybelline has amazing lipsticks, shadows, liners and mascaras. It's a really well-rounded brand that has some of my everyday holy grail products.

2. What Are Your Favorite Face, Cheek & Lip Products?

Face Products:

 Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in1 Foundation- This is my absolute favorite foundation in the entire world! It stays on all day and covers with a smooth flawless finish. I cannot say enough good things about this foundation- perfection!

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer & Rimmel Match Perfection Highlight/Concealer- I love these 2 drugstore concealers. The Fit Me concealer is great for under the eyes; a nice, natural way for me to brighten up my face. The Rimmel Match Perfection is a great drugstore highlighter. I use this all the time for my forehead, bridge of my nose and chin.

Sonia Kashuk "All Covered Up" Concealer: This is amazing for sticking to any raised surfaces or texture you may have on your skin! It's great for acne and redness and stays on all day long. Great drugstore concealer! 

Cheek Products: 

 Milani Luminoso: No one can talk about amazing drugstore blushes without talking about Milani Luminoso. It is the perfect peachy-pink shade with a gorgeous sheen. Absolute perfection.

Wet N Wild- Pearlescent Pink: This is a gorgeous everyday pink shade. It has hints of peach to it but looks beautiful on the skin. For $3.99? Come on..you can't get better than that.

Mabybelline Master Hi Light Blush- Nude: This product is seriously a great topper to any blush! This adds a beautiful sheen with just a slight tint of color so that it doesn't compete with the blush that you already have on. I think this is a really unique drugstore product- there isn't much out there like it and it's beautifully made.

Lip Products:

Maybelline "Vivids" Lipstick- Vibrant Mandarin: Gorgeous, bright, perfect mix of red and orange. This shade is beautiful and creamy and my perfect "go to" bright lip!

NYX Megashine Lipgloss: Oh what to say. These glosses are beautiful and creamy and feel amazing on the lips. One of my favorite lip glosses ever ever ever. 

Kardashian Khroma Beauty Joystick- Sea Coral: I love these joysticks so much because they are so soft! I had a hard time justifying spending $9 on a drugstore lip product, but the second these lip crayons hit your lips they absolutely melt into perfection. The finish is amazing and they feel incredibly hydrating. I'm officially obsessed. 

Maybelline "Buffs" Lipstick- Sin-A-Mon: This lipstick is my perfect everyday nude shade. I know this is slightly darker than most people like, but I really don't like my lips to disappear when I wear a nude shade and this just makes them look deep and beautiful. 

NYX Butter Gloss- Tiramisu: Favorite gloss of life. Yep. They are aptly named because they literally feel like butter on your lips. Tiramisu is a gorgeous nude-pink that tops any gloss perfectly. This is perfection in a bottle. Gorgeous, buttery perfection.

3. Least Favorite Product?

Well..this was easy. I don't have a picture of it because I threw it out a couple of days after I bought it I disliked it so much. Even though I've heard people rave about this product, the Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Liner was one of my least favorite products EVER. It was difficult to work with, it dried up before I could finish one eye, it dried with a glossy finish. Just....ugh. I disliked everything- EVERYTHING about it. No thanks! 

4. What is the Best Makeup Bargain? 

Okay, this may seem like a bizarre answer, but I think the L'Oreal Infallible Pressed Pigments are not only amazing, but an incredible deal! These usually run around $7 and because it's a pressed pigment, it will literally last you forever. My favorite is the color "Amber Rush" because it is just breathtaking!

5. What is Your Favorite Underdog Product? (Something That Often Gets Overlooked)

I absolutely adore the Covergirl Eyelights mascara. I have used it for years and it never fails- every time I wear it someone compliments me on my eyes. These mascaras are specially formulated to enhance your eye color so naturally, I buy the one for brown eyes. I have been using this mascara for years and I absolutely LOVE it. It may be my favorite mascara of all time..no matter which one I love, I always come back to this. If you've never tried this out, you should! It's amazing.

6. Drugstore Product That Isn't Worth the Hype?

Okay...don't hate me! I don't necessarily think that this is a "bad" product. However, for my skin type, it just doesn't work for me! I was so excited about trying this foundation a few months ago. When it says "true match", they really mean true match! I have NEVER had a foundation that has matched my skin so perfectly. The formula is thin but covers well, it's smooth and blends well. I loved the way it looked on my skin! But...it doesn't stay on! I have sensitive, oily skin and this just slips right off my face after 3-4 hours. For me, that just isn't enough wear time. It starts to break down after about 2 hours and by the 4 hour mark- forget it. It's very sad because there are so many things I love about it. But...I just don't think it's worth the hype if it can't stay on!

So there you go! These are my favorite drugstore makeup items! If you've never heard of or tried any of these things you should really give them a shot. Let me know what you're loving down below! :)
