The drugstore has a ton of hidden gems! If you are on a budget, or just want to save some money, you can find everything you need to look your best right at the drugstore!
Here are my faves.
Loreal True Match LUMI Healthy Luminous Makeup
This is a great foundation. Not only does it have a PUMP (which is sometimes hard to come by), but it is such a smooth and silky foundation. So blendable, perfect for normal to dry skin, and lasts all day! It is super easy to find your correct shade, they are categorized by warm, cool, and neutral.
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer
I’ve only talked about this concealer a million times here on this blog – but I need to mention it again! I use the Brighten shade, and it is a salmon pink tone that totally cancels out dark circles. Love this stuff.
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder
This powder is so soft and silky, and keeps my skin nice and matte all day long. I use the translucent shade.
Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso
Peachy pink shimmer perfection, and lasts all day long. It’s a blush and highlight all in one product.
I have loved these since the day they came out. These are no joke when they say they last 24 hrs. They will not crease or get patchy throughout the day, and they come in a ton of beautiful colors.
Revlon Lip Crayons – Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains and Colorburst Matte Balms
I am drawn to anything in “lip crayon” form. These are amazing from Revlon. The balm stains are just like applying lip balm to your lips (so soft and moisturizing), and also leave color that lasts all day. These matte balms are long lasting balms that dry matte but are not uncomfortable on the lips.
Maybelline Master Precise liquid liner
This is a great liquid liner from the drugstore. Super black, dries down matte, and has the sharpest felt tip making it so easy to wing out.
Maybelline the Rocket Volum Express Mascara
Favorite drugstore mascara EVER. Black, gives tons of volume, holds a curl, gives a false eyelash look – this mascara does it all!
I had to include this because it is life changing. Way back when, I used to use the DUO squeeze tube adhesive, and then I found this – it is so much thinner (like superglue consistency) and easier to apply. If you have a hard time applying lashes, try this!
What are your favorite drugstore makeup products?
I love instant age rewind for the dark circles as well. I get it light enough that I use it to highlight all over my face. I also love L’Oreal True Match foundation, it is my drug store go to when I am in between my other foundations!
I love that foundation also! I love it because they have so many shades 🙂 thanks for stopping by!
Great post! I really want to try the Milani blush, I’ve heard so many good things about that shade and the formulation xx
Thank you! Yes, give it a try! You won’t be disappointed 🙂
Whenever I run out of my MAC paint pot I can’t wait to try the Maybelline Color Tattoo! I have heard they are an exact dupe!

They are!!! I hope you like them! 🙂
Thanks for the great post! I’m definitely planning to try out instant age rewind. The rocket volume mascara piques my interest too but does it stay put throughout the day or have you experienced smudging/bleeding?
Thank you! I hope you like Age Rewind! The Rocket mascara is my favorite! I don’t ever have any issues with smudging or flaking throughout the day. I would def give it a try! 🙂
YEEEES for the Color Tattoos! I have them in On and On Bronze and Pink Gold and absolutely love them both! I just wish they had some subtle peachy-champagny shades.

Yes, they do need some lighter tones. A peachy one would be gorgeous!
