8. Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush
I know what you're thinking "that's old news" and I completely agree. However, it still makes it on to my top 8 list because it's one of my all time favourite drugstore blushes because it has great colour payoff and lasts quite a bit longer than your average drugstore powder blush. My personal favourite colours are Rose Petal and Fresh Pink! ($7.99)
7. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind: Treatment Concealer
This product isn't that new but it has definitely made an appearance on the beauty guru scene of YouTube this summer and after trying it out I know why! It's very lightweight but still offers significant coverage for dark circles without creasing or looking cakey at all. It also, apparently, comes in 12 different shades and has the added bonus of acting like a treatment for under eye wrinkles and fine lines; reducing their appearance and preventing them all together! It's never too early to start anti-aging treatments! ($7.99)
6. Revlon Cream Shadow Quads
I've been using these quads for a little over a year now and I really love them. The quads they offer have a great spread of useful colours and are easy to apply, going on super smoothly. They are also really easy to blend and are one of my go to products when I'm low on time and just need to slap some eye makeup on. The only issues is that they do tend to crease pretty easily so I recommend using an eyelid primer first. My most used quad is called Not Just Nudes. ($9.99)5. L'ORÉAL True Match Liquid Foundation
I know this is also one of those "been there, done that" products but it's my most recent everyday foundation and I love it. It gives just the right amount of coverage for an everyday look and looks flawless (especially if you apply it with a Beauty Blender)! The only drawback is that the bottle kind of pours out like BBQ Sauce.. you know slowly and then BAM the whole bottle is empty, so you just have to be really careful not to waste too much product that way. ($12.99)
4. N.Y.C. Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder
I think this one is a classic favourite and is often deemed a dupe for Benefit's Hoola Bronzer and I LOVE IT! If you have fair skin like me you can still make this product look seamless and natural. Using the good old E3 technique it's easy to add a little colour to your face but it's also great for contouring around your nose or cheekbones! ($3.15)
3. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer
This is my absolute favourite concealer (including high end concealers). The coverage is great and lasts a decent amount of time (I never have to reapply). It's easy to apply and works really well for redness and mild acne. It's not my product of choice for under eye circles just because it's really more of a blemish eraser kind of product. It also comes in a ton of different shades for all skin tones! ($7.96)
2. Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara
This is, in my opinion, the best mascara for bottom lashes because the bristles on the wand are nice and short to avoid getting mascara all over your under eye area and the formula doesn't clump (unless you really over do it). It also elongates and adds volume to your lower lashes making them look perfect! ($5.99) ... this product is however featured in a post of products I regret buying head over here to find out why!
1. KATE super sharp liner: Felt Tip Eyeliner
I'm not sure if this is considered a drugstore product because I've only ever been able to buy it in drugstores in Japan and in China but it is my favourite drugstore product of all time. It easily surpasses any high-end felt tip liner (including NARS) and I would even say it's better than any liquid liner I've used as well. Because it's felt tip it's super easy to create the perfect line and it goes on nice and black in only one stroke. It also lasts all day and all night! It's pretty hard to come by so I buy it in bulk whenever I get the chance! The good news is you can also buy it on Amazon though it's a little pricey. ($15.40)
