Too often we beauty bloggers tend to focus only on department store makeup and cosmetic products, and we ignore the ones that we can find easily at our nearest drugstore.
So, today I thought I would focus my post on my top 5 drugstore cosmetic purchases; they’re all products that I buy regularly and have purchased multiple times.
Blistex Lip Conditioner Sunscreen Lip Protectant SPF 15 - This is a product that I use every night before I go to bed. I slather a thick layer on my lips right before I go to sleep, to help my lips stay moisturized overnight. It prevents chapping and cracking, and I always have a little tub with me when I travel. It’s part of my nighttime ritual - I feel lost without it!
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Top Coat - This is pretty much a clear nail polish, but it’s formulated to help keep your nails strong and stop them from breaking. I use it as a base coat and top coat when I do my nails, and occasionally I’ll use it on it’s own when I can’t make up my mind which color of polish to wear.
Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion Mascara - Still my favorite mascara. It really defines my lashes and gives them good volume and lift. It won’t flake on to my cheeks, and very rarely does the product clump on the brush. I go through a tube of this at least once every two weeks! I always have two tubes in my makeup bag - one in black and the other in black-brown.
Neutrogena All-in-One Make-up Removing Cleansing Lotion - I am on my second bottle of this, and will soon be onto my third. I love this makeup remover - it is the first remover that I have used in a long time that doesn’t irritate my eyes or my skin.
Rimmel London Professional Eyebrow Pencil in 001 Dark Brown - I really like this brown pencil. It is the darkest shade of brown I could get, and it makes my brows more defined without making them look unnaturally defined and dark. I just do a couple of light strokes on my brows and then blend it in with the brush on the eyeliner cap.
