This blog post is going to be slightly different because it´s a birthday/drugstore makeup favorites post. Since its soon to be my sisters birthday, she wants to share her favorite drugstore makeup products. My sister was the first person who actually introduced me to makeup, which has become a topic that we always talk about. We both agreed to do this and I have also tried most of the products mentioned down below. I will be posting this on her birthday May 2nd as a way to express my gratitude for all the makeup runs she does for me and its a special way to wish her a Happy Birthday.
1.Covergirl Outlast all-Day Stay Fabulous Foundation
My sister´s favorite foundation would have to be the Covergirl outlast all-day stay 3 in 1 foundation. She tried this foundation after they discontinued her first and favorite full coverage foundation. So, she decided to give the Covergirl foundation a try after searching for a new drugstore foundation. This product is great if you have an oily complexion like us or acne prone skin. Its a primer, concealer, and foundation all in one and that´s why she loves it so much. This foundation also contains sunscreen which protects her skin which is a plus for her. Price:$7.99-$9.99
2. Covergirl Clean Matte Concealer
The Covergirl clean matte concealer is our favorite concealer from the drugstore right now. We were both searching for our holy grail concealer at the drugstore which was much harder than we thought. Many concealers creased, made our under eye area feel very heavy, and even wore off after a while. This concealer is lightweight, buildable coverage, and is very easy to blend which gives you all-day natural coverage. Price:$4.79-$7.99
3. rimmel Stay matte powder
One of our old favorites is the Rimmel stay matte pressed powder which is great for oily skin. My sister uses the shade 003 natural and I personally love 001 transparent. It really helps us with our oil control, keeps our foundation on all day, and it provides great coverage. Price:$3.17-$3.99
4. Milani Illuminating face Powder
My sister loves her Milani illuminating face powder it´s her blush, bronzer, and highlighter all in one product. She says it brings back a natural flush of color to her face. It overall gives her a healthy glow and can also be used as a finishing powder, she owns shade 02 Hermosa Rose. Price:$7.87-$9.99
5. Milani Strobelight Instant Glow powder
Milani has probably one of the best highlighters in the drugstore, if you want a blinding glow, these powder highlights will do the trick. My sister had to get two shades of this highlighter, 01 Afterglow, and 02 Dayglow. She says the key towards achieving the perfect glow is to mix both of these shades together. Price:$7.49-$9.99
6.Wet n wild Color Icon eyeshadow palette
These 10 pan eyeshadow palettes from Wet n Wild are great quality and very affordable. This is my sister´s go-to palette with a variety of matte and shimmer shades. Her favorite palette would have to be my glamour squad, which I heard is a dupe for Anastasia´s soft glam palette. There are seven other palettes to choose from like nude awaking, rosé in the air, comfort zone, not a basic peach, v.i.purple, cosmic collision, and stop playing safe. Price:$2.89-$4.99
7. L'Oréal Voluminous million lashes mascara
This is the only product I have not tried because my sister and I have very different types of lashes. My lashes are short, hard to curl, point downward, and I always have to use a waterproof mascara to hold the curl in place. My sister´s lashes are the complete opposite because she has long, wispy lashes, uses her finger to curl them and uses regular non-waterproof mascara all the time. She loves this mascara so much because it gives her the false lash effect and always gets compliments when she is wearing that mascara. So, if you have lashes like her this might be a great option but if you have lashes like mine you can always try the waterproof version million lash mascara. Price:$6.29-$8.99
8. L'Oréal colour riche lipstick collection Exclusive by JLO
As we all know a nude is crucial in everybodys lipstick collection. Nudes are always a safe option for everyday or even on a special occasion. Trying to find your perfect nude may be a challenge, one might be too light or too dark for your complexion. My sister found her perfect nude in the L'Oréal colour riche collection by Jlo. These lipsticks claim to flatter every skin tone, in my sisters case with a lighter complexion, the color really was a perfect match for her. Price:$5.97-$9.99

Trying new skincare products can be a little scary and when you don't have the money to try that fancy product you want, you start looking towards the drugstore. In my experience, while trying to find a good drugstore cleanser and trying a few it made my skin break out even more. I have acne prone skin and an oily complexion, even if products are made for a certain type of skin it might not work out for everybody. So, I decided to stop using the cleanser and went back to my old three step easy skincare routine. My skin started to look much better and now my skin is acne free. I am going to share the three products that work for me and my skin but everybody is different it may or may not work for you. You can give these products a try and see how they perform on your skin type.
1. L'Oréal pure-Clay mASKS
I have been using L'Oréal ´s face masks for a couple of months now and I have come to love them. I do a mask two or three times a week depending on how my skin is looking, before taking a shower. The two masks I have tried are the detox and brighten charcoal clay mask which really cleans out my pores of all the dirt and oils. The other one I have tried is the exfoliate and refining mask which leaves my skin super soft. Out of the two that I have tried I like the charcoal detox mask the best for my oily skin. L'Oréal also has a clear & comfort mask, clarify & smooth, purify & mattify, and a soothing clay mask.
2. T.n. Dickinson´s Witch Hazel
My second step in my skincare routine is my toner which is witch hazel. I use the classic T.N. Dickinson´s witch hazel, they also have a variety like the unscented pore perfecting, hydrating alcohol-free, deep cleansing, and an energizing toner. I apply by wetting the cotton ball with some of the witch hazel and wiping it gently on my face. I also like to fill up a spray bottle with the witch hazel and apply it like a spray or mist all over my face. It leaves my face feeling refreshed and it might be a little drying but I like to moisturize with cream after or you can try the alcohol-free one.
3. pond´s Clarant B3 Dark Spot Correcting Cream
The last step in my skincare is moisturizing and I use Pond´s dark spot correcting cream for normal to oily skin. As I mentioned above I like to moisturize after using witch hazel so my skin won't feel dry and it does clear up my dark marks from acne. I also use the Pond´s rejuveness anti-wrinkle cream for my neck and under my eye area to prevent wrinkles. They also have a normal to dry dark spot correcting cream for people with dry skin and a cold cream cleanser.

Most of the time you are there to buy your old favorite products and have no clue about new products brands have just launched.
