My Favorite Drugstore Makeup // Blogmas Day Thirteen

I'm not one of those girls who find it necessary to splurge on high end makeup, I love finding drugstore purchases that do just as good of a job. I'm not passing any judgement on those who only buy high end makeup. I wish I could spend more money on makeup, because I love Sephora and Mac just as much as the next girl. Through trial and error, I've found makeup that I love in the aisles of Target, and that's perfectly okay with me! Here are my top 5 drugstore makeup purchases that I swear by.

L'Oreal True Match Liquid Foundation

(I use the color N1 Soft Ivory)

I just started using this stuff after trying Revlon Color Stay, and I have to say that I prefer this over that. (I wouldn't recommend this to people who have oily skin. I've read lots of reviews saying that people who have naturally oily skin caused the foundation to wear off in patches and look blotchy.) This foundation makes it possible to go from a light to full coverage without being cakey. I've had it on for about 12 hours today and am still pleased with how it looks. I also love how many different shades this line carries, you really can find a true match!

Rimmel London Natural Bronzer

I love this stuff. It's really easy on the wallet and it gives off amazing color. When it comes to bronzer, it's probably one of my favorite things to apply. I love playing around with contouring and this stuff seriously goes the distance. It puts off such a nice color and is easily blended in my opinion. I can't see myself using any other bronzer. I use the color Sun Bronze.

Covergirl Lashblast Mascara

I've gone through so many different types of mascara, and always find they disappoint me after using this one. It does such a great job of lengthening, thickening, and separating. All other mascaras I've used don't cover all three of those and I find a lot of them clump eyelashes together. This always seems to do the job for me. The only thing that would make me love it more is if the tip of the brush had a small ball to get to bottom lashes easier. (Does anyone know what I'm talking about? No? Okay, moving on.)

Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner

I have always been a Maybellie girl when it comes to eyeliner. I've always found that they stay the longest for me without smudging or fading. What I love about this gel liner the most, is that it's super easy to apply. I rarely ever mess up or have to fix my liner. I also think the brush that it comes with does a great job if you don't have another brush to use. This eyeliner makes it easy to do a regular look or even a dramatic cat eye and everything in between.

Milani Metallic Baked Eyeshadows

I love these eyeshadows. The pigmentation is amazing, they have many different colors to choose from, and they are a great price point. I only have a few different shades of these, but my all time favorite is the 607 Rich Java. It is a dark brown and I use this to fill in my brows. It also looks great in a smoky eye. The shadow pictured is not the Rich Java, it is the color 602 I Heart You if you're curious. 

So there you have it! My top 5 picks of drugstore makeup. What are your favorite drugstore makeup items? Also, I'm in the market for something to help with dark under eye circles. Whether it be an under eye cream or concealer, I'm all ears!
