Wet n Wild CoverAll
Pressed Powder

This little baby sells for only $2.99 and it is unbelievable for its price!
If you are looking for a full coverage pressed powder and dont want to spend a lot, this is what I would recommend. I can wear this powder alone and it still looks good. However it can get cakey if you apply too much so I suggest using a big powder brush.
I wear this powder almost daily and it doesnt break me out either, which can be a issue for me when I use drugstore full coverage powders.

Revlon Lip Butters

Revlon Lip Butter's come in 20 amazing colors, go on smooth, (like butter) great pigmentation and they dont streak on my lips like most lip balms I have tried. They range from $5.99 to $7.49.  I did a review on these so if you would like to get the full 411 click here.

Loreal True Match
Super Blendable Concealer

Those friendly little reminders that I am getting older called fine lines have made it harder for me to find a good concealer. Most of them are either dry, which seem to highlight my fine lines or they seep in the lines making them looks worse than they are. This is my go to drugstore concealer. It doent seep, isnt drying and covers extremely well.  Prices range from $7.97 to $9.99.






#7
NYC Smooth Skin
Loose Face Powder

I had spent like $30 on a translucent powder by Makeup for ever and when I couldnt find it I went to Walmart and purchased this, the NYC Smooth Skin Loose Translucent Face Powder. I actually liked it better! Even after I found my high end powder I did not return to using it. Instead I stuck with the NYC powder. This is a great powder to use with a super full coverage foundation. It will leave your face looking flawless and never cakey.
This NYC Loose Powder is normally priced at a amazing $2.99!

Loreal Paris Infallible 
Eyeshadows




I first heard of these when they were buzzing all over YouTube, but I have learned to not buy into the hype. However... this was one of the purchases I made after hearing about it on YouTube that I fell in love with. These shadows are beautiful. They are so easy to apply, very pigmented and give your lids a little sparkle without overkill. My two "must haves" are Amber Rush and Iced Latte.
I believe they come in 18 amazing colors and are priced from $6.97 to $7.99.

Jordanna 
Fabuliner 

This felt tip liquid eyeliner one of the best, and I am including high end when I say it is the best. I have the Stila felt liner which I love for its precision tip, however, this little mama is just as good and lasted me longer.
The color is on point, none of that 10 coats over like some of the cheaper felt liners, the tip stays together very well. Now coming apart or bending at the tip.
To top it off it only costs around $2.99!
Cant beat that!




#4
Elf Eyebrow Kit




For me Elf products are hit and miss, but this little eyebrow kit is a hit. I believe it comes in three shades, 2 I know of for sure and it is a set price of $3.00. This is one of the things I love about Elf, their prices stay the same everywhere.
A few years ago someone gave me a really expensive eyebrow kit and I fell in love with it. It was too expensive for me to want to re-purchase so when I saw this Elf kit it looked just like the pricey kit I was obsessing over, I think thats why it caught my eye.
Anyways, the big surprise is when I realized it worked just as well if not better!






#3
Rimmel Scandaleyes
Eyes






So if you follow my social media you know I am absolutley in love with Too Faced's Better than Sex Mascara. It is $23 so I spent some time trying to find a dupe and I finally did!
One of the things that I love about the Too Faced mascara is the super akward bottle shaped brush. As you can see in the picture the Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascara has the same bottle shaped brush. It also gives my eyes that great volume with out the clumping. I admit I have to do a few more coats but the price difference makes it worth it!
This Rimmel mascara is priced at $5.47.













#2
Maybeline FITme
Foundation






This is another item that I have used to replace a high end product. I started using Lancome's Teinte Idole Ultra 24 hr foundation a few months back. I was paying $45.50 per bottle!
When I saw this at my local drugstore it was on a huge discount, which is usually the way I try new products.
Since the first day I used this foundation it is all I have been using.
I am in no way calling this a dupe for the Lancome Teinte Idole because they are very different, but it is an amazing foundation.
It is full coverage, blends really well and lasts almost all day.
There are however two flaws in my opinion.
Flaw #1: No pump
Flaw #2: Coloring of foudation is set up
by numbers, the numbers are set by the
consumer purchasing the foudation,
concealer and powder.
This makes it very hard to find your color.
I just got lucky! lol.
Besides these marketing flaws I have this in my top ten because the foundation itself is absolutely amazing!





#1
Elf Mineral Glow
in Shimmer






I own 7 highlighters, both high end and drugstore and this highlight by Elf in Shimmer is my #1! It is a very natural highlight and it makes my skin glow. I dont go a day without this stuff and for the price quality and quanity that is sold makes this product a must have!
I take a tapered blush brush that is also by Elf, ($3.00 at Walmart) and swipe this mineral highlight across the top of my cheekbones to midway under my eye, then above my brows and between them and then sweep it down the bridge of my nose and a sweep across my chin.
This is a very clean natural highlight so if you are looking for a
"hardcore" highlighter this isnt the one.
This little mama sells for only $8.00.
It will last forever!
