Best Drugstore Prep + Set Products For Your Makeup
I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't a big believer in prepping and setting my skin before and after makeup. However, as I've tried different prep and set products over the years, I'm come to one conclusion. I think it takes time and trial/error to find the right products that work for you.

What works for me might not work for you and that's ok! But even though products may vary from person to person, everyone needs a place to start! And I've found that it's great to start with products you know are tried and true winners where ... read more

New Drugstore Makeup On Amazon
Seeing new drugstore makeup on Amazon is one of my favorite things! I probably check Amazon on a weekly basis just to see what's being added. I love buying new drugstore makeup on Amazon because I can get it sooner than I could waiting for drugstores to put it out. Plus I can view all the new arrivals in one place so I can see all the brands and products together. But can we just take a minute to talk about Revlon! Look at all these gems they are dropping.
