As promised, here's part 2 of my favorite drugstore products in 2013. This blog will include lip, foundation, mascara and eye liner products. I didn't want to make this blog too long. I narrowed it down to just a few in each category. Let's begin shall we.....first on to lips.....
Lipsticks
Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Colors - Maybelline you really brought your 'A' game with these. The color sensational lipsticks are wonderful. They are by far one of the best drugstore lipsticks I've used. These lipsticks apply smoothly to the lips, leaving them with a soft, non-drying feel and great color payoff. As well, Maybelline has a variety of colors (62 in all) to suit all beauty gems. Even better, you get a great lipstick at an affordable price. P.S. - Much love to the new "The Buffs" collection they just released..I'm head over heels for them.
Milani Color Statement Lipstick - Another great and affordable drugstore brand. You can choose from 36 colors that include matte, pearl, shimmer and cream finishes.These lipsticks also have great color pay-off and long wearing. Milani offers other great products including their baked blush and lip glosses. Only downside - The matte colors can be a little drying. However, just adding some extra balm to your lips before your lipstick will solve that issue.
Wet N Wild MegaLast Lip Color - Rounding out my favs of 2013 is the wonderful Wet N Wild. This is a great product for gems on a budget that want a good, inexpensive lipstick. These lipsticks can be easily found in most drug stores, have a variety of colors for all taste (26 colors in all) and have a sister lipstick with SPF 15 MegaLast Lip Color SPF 15 . These lip colors contain Vitamin E, Amino Acids, Avocado Oil, and Rice Bran Oils that provide moisture to your lips. With great pigmentation and long-lasting wear, a super value you just cannot pass up. Whichever option you choose, you won't be disappointed.
Lip Glosses
Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Glosses -Similar to it's lip color counterpart, the Maybelline CS glosses are really nice. They apply smoothly to the lips and have vibrant color. These along with the CS lip colors are a great couple for achieving spectacular lip color. The formula is non-sticky so the colors can sometimes be easily transferable. However, if you're looking for an inexpensive gloss that gives you true color....this is it. You have 24 colors to chose from (12 Vibrant High Shine colors; 12 Pink Perfection).
Lip Liners
Jordana Lip Liner - If you don't already know about these then let me give you the 411. Another best kept drugstore beauty find. These are one of the best drugstore lip liners I've every used. The retractable lip liners give you great color and last a long time. Although they only come in 12 colors; they are so versatile that they compliment a variety of lip colors. For an average cost of $1.99 each, these are a slam dunk deal!!!
Eyeliners
Jordana 12HR Eye Pencils - I feel in love with these the instant I used them. The long-wearing eye pencils glide on with so much ease and DON'T SMUDGE. The colors are vibrant and compliment most day/night looks. The only downside is that currently they only offer 6 colors to choose from. Fingers crossed that Jordana decides to expand this line because these are a winner in my book, anytime!
Jordana INCOLOR Fabuliner Liquid Eyeliner - If you're looking for an inexpensive eyeliner to practice your cat eye skills with, this is it. The slim tip applicator applies liner smoothly to your eyes making the art of liquid eye liner simple. I've found other favorites to use and haven't used this liner in a little while. However, it's a must have in my makeup kit. The only downside is that it's not waterproof but I've never had issue with smearing/fading. For $2.99 each, it's another great Jordana deal.
Mascara
L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara - All I can say is.....it's WONDERFUL. You get volume, deep color without any flaking or clumping. Another bonus...L'Oreal has expanded this line so if you want something more waterproof or longer lasting, they've got it.
Jordana Best Lash Extreme- This beauty delivers with giving your lashes all the volume you need. While it claims that it doesn't clump, it actually does (at least for me). As well, if you apply too much, it can make your lashes hard. With a few applications (and even combining with another lengthening mascara) you can achieve the look you want and more. For $2.99, it's a steal.
In 2013, I learned about alot of drugstore brands that produce great products. It's comforting to know that I don't ALWAYS have to use the high end products to get the results I want. For 2014, I hope to expand my list of "best" to include more drugstore foundations and primers.
Well gems that concludes my best of 2013 list. I've already began ordering some other new releases for spring/summer (check out my Pinterest/Twitter/Instagram posts). I can't wait to dish the 411 with you on those...STAY TUNED!!!
As always, be sure to follow me on all my social media sites. Until next time....Happy Shopping!!!!
