Best Waterproof Mascara For Curled Lashes

Best Waterproof Mascara For Curled Lashes

So after raving and reviewing about the new L'Oreal Lash Paradise mascara in my previous post, I had to put it to the test! I wanted to compare it to my 2 current favorite mascaras in my rotation. I've tried dozens and dozens of mascaras both high-end and low-end. For me, a great mascara will give me big bold lashes and hold a curl all day! My lashes are really straight with no natural curl so I use waterproof mascara to keep them curled once I use my lash curler. I'm always on the hunt for the best waterproof mascara for curled lashes! The new L'Oreal Lash Paradise mascara gave my other 2 favorites a run for their money. So I thought why not compare my lashes side-by-side-by-side with ... read more

L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara Review

I'm a sucker for a new mascara so when I saw that L'Oreal came out with this new voluminous lash paradise mascara I knew I had to review it!

8 Steps to Easy Summer Makeup

I love summertime! It's my favorite season and I love all the outside activities and adventures that come with it. However, I've always had oily skin so my makeup doesn't agree with summer so much. My oily skin has turned into combination skin in recent years, but in the summer, it rears it's ugly head! So I like to keep my makeup fairly simple, lightweight and easy! These 8 steps to easy summer makeup are my go-to steps to achieve a fresh and effortless summer makeup look! Does anybody else cringe at the feeling of sweating off layers and layers of heavy makeup? I hate that feeling when your face is just heavy with products and you can't wait to wash everything off.  I live in Indiana ... read more

The Best Drugstore BB Creams For Summer

The Best Drugstore BB Creams For Summer

I know what you are saying...what the heck is a BB cream and why should I use one? Great question because, when I first heard about BB creams, I thought the same thing. BB stands for Beauty Balm. Most BB creams are multi-tasking products that combine the benefits of a skincare product and a makeup product into one. I've scoured the drugstore to find the best options across affordable brands and created a list of the best drugstore BB creams for summer. BB creams are typically lightweight and allow your skin to breathe a little better which makes them perfect for the summertime. Swap out your foundation for a good BB cream during summer for lighter coverage and less product on your skin. ... read more

Drugstore Makeup Sponges

Drugstore Makeup Sponges

Drugstore makeup sponges have single-handedly changed my makeup game! I have never received so many compliments on my makeup then when I switched to using a makeup sponge. The original Beauty Blender started the makeup sponge craze and (again) I thank Jesus for drugstore makeup brands because I can always count on them to come out with more affordable options! True confession...I've actually never used the original beauty blender because I've had a hard time rationalizing $20 for a makeup sponge in my head. But luckily, I've never had to splurge because drugstore makeup sponges are fantastic and more affordable alternatives that achieve the same result as the original beauty blender in my ... read more

Drugstore Makeup On Amazon – New Arrivals

Drugstore Makeup On Amazon – New Arrivals

So I have to confess that when you pair two of my favorite things....makeup and Amazon...it can be deadly! I can spend hours browsing and finding new makeup to buy and actually have turned to Amazon lately to buy my drugstore makeup. The thing that's frustrating about going to CVS, Walgreens, or Target is that sometimes my shade or color is already sold out if it's new or the stores around me take forever to get new products! In fact, I scoured every drugstore in a 15 mile radius from me for DAYS when I first found out Wet n Wild released their liquid catsuit lipsticks because I was dying to get my hands on them but the stores around me didn't get them for weeks and some took ... read more

Some of the links in this post are affiliate links. View my full disclosure policy for more details. Coral is one of my favorite colors for spring and summer!

Within the last year, the drugstore has come out with so many different lip formulas to try. I decided to round up my top 12 coral drugstore lip products! Instead of just your basic lipsticks and lip glosses, the drugstore now has so many different categories of lip products! Brands have come out with mattes, velvet mattes, liquid lips, pigmented balms, paints, metallics, oils and that's probably not even all of ... read more

The Best Milani Makeup Products 2017

  Milani Cosmetics is one of my absolute favorite brands at the drugstore! Actually, it might be my favorite. I first noticed Milani at my local CVS in high school. Their beautiful makeup products would always catch my eye in their luxe gold packaging. At first, I would just window shop without ever buying anything. I don't know why I did that actually...maybe because it looked too luxurious for my skill set? Anyway, by now I've jumped in head first and put together the best Milani makeup products that I think are worth trying! Honestly, now that I think about it, the first thing I ever tried from Milani was their nail polish. I bought a light pink shade that I still have! I ... read more

Rose Gold Drugstore Makeup Products

I am completely obsessed with rose gold everything...jewelry, makeup, home decor, clothing, anything! I love the color pink anyways and rose gold is such a gorgeous twist. Affordable makeup brands have jumped on the band wagon and I'm loving all the rose gold drugstore makeup!  And personally, I have naturally fair skin and light blonde hair so I think rose gold and pink shades compliment my complexion very well. Needless to say, these products have become my go-to!

I first fell in love with this makeup color when I bought the ... read more
