So originally I was going to write a top 5 drugstore products, but some of my followers on Instagram asked for it to be a top 10. As I had already taken the pictures and everything for my top 5, I thought I would split it into 2 blog posts with 5 products in each (also so it wasn't an extremely long post!)
I absolutely love drugstore products. My make-up collection is literally 80% drugstore, 20% high end products. This is because you can get products from drugstores that are just as equal in quality and quantity for half the price of a high end purchase. (I'm not slating high end at all! As I do own quite a few MAC products that I use on a day to day basis!)
1. Revlon Colorstay foundation for normal/dry skin (110 ivory)
I must say this is most definitely one of my all time favourite drugstore foundations. Although I have only been using it for about 3 weeks, it has made its way into my top 5 foundations! This is also the first foundation I have purchased that is actually for people with dry skin, as I suffer from little dry patches on my face I got this to see the difference in other foundations. Most of my other drugstore foundations stick to the dry patches (especially if the foundation is really thick) and make them really noticeable, but this foundation is one of the first to actually cover this up. I would highly recommend this foundation, the only annoying thing is that it doesn't have a pump.
2. Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm
I actually have all 6 of these (the ones available in the UK) but this one is by far my favourite. This is the intense care baby lips. I love this because it is extremely moisturizing on your lips but it is also clear which is perfect to use as a base for lipstick. I normally suffer from dry lips around the winter and this is the first lip balm I have used that has actually cleared this up. Since using this product I have not once had dry lips! for £2.99 you can't go wrong!
3. L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes mascara
This has got to be my favourite mascara EVER. This is probably one of the only mascaras I own that lengthens my lashes but also doesn't clump on my lashes. My favourite mascaras are those with the plastic hard wands as I find it much easier to apply onto my lashes as well as the product not flicking everywhere. This mascara makes my eyelashes so long and I've actually been asked a few times if I've been wearing false lashes! If you are looking for a new mascara I definitely recommend you try this one, compared to other brands of mascara (e.g. Maybelline) this one is a tad more expensive at £10.99 (seeing as most Maybelline one's are around £7.99) but it is worth every penny! Also the packaging is just gorgeous.
4. Boots Natural Collection black liquid eyeliner
It takes me a while to find a new eyeliner that I like as I can't get on with the felt tip liners or gel liners, it has to be a wand like this one. This eyeliner is only £1.99, which is an absolute bargain especially for those just starting out with make-up or on a budget. The wand is very thin which makes it so easy to create the perfect line without it going to thick, and if you start out with a thin line you can then build it up to however thick you want it. I have repurchased this twice now and I will also carry on repurchasing (I'm actually almost running out now) because this product is amazing.
5. Collection Lasing Perfection concealer (shade 1, fair)
As most girls will agree with me, this product is simply amazing. I think 95% of girls will own this. For only £4.19 (probably one of the cheapest drugstore concealers!) this concealer is fabulous and this is just forever in my make-up bag. I use this every single day without fail, and repurchase it every single time I run out. If you don't own this I recommend you go and try it out, 99% sure that you will love it!
Keep an eye out for part 2 of my top 10 drugstore products that will have the next 5 things!
lots of love,

Amazing post
ReplyDeleteI love the collection concealer so much! I bought it the other day and it works like a dream, definitely going to be repurchasing when it runs out. I will have to try the natural collection liquid eyeliner, it looks pretty good and I love that brand as it is so cheap:)xox
