BEAUTY | Drug-Store Make Up Must Haves

Leave a Comment

These products have quickly become holy grail products of mine! 4 out of the 5 products I've purchased recently and totally fallen in love with, the 5th has been a staple in my make up collection for a few years now! These products are proof that you do not have to spend a fortune to get your hands on good quality, long-lasting make up. 

Better yet - I've included UK and US links where possible so click the price tag that applies to you if you would like to buy! :)

1. ELF Essential Eyeshadow Primer - $2 | £1.95
This eyeshadow primer is just as good as any high-end one I have used - even Urban Decay! It's the perfect base for any eyeshadow. You need to use barely any product and I promise it will make your look last ALL day and then some!

2. Maybelline Volum Express The Mega Plush in Blackest Black - $7.99 | £7.99
I have been so impressed with this mascara. I haven't used Maybelline for years but I get so much volume and curl with this one. It also stays put for most of the day and I have had no issues with flaking or smudging - it claims to be somewhere between normal and waterproof and I would definitely agree. I just can't say enough good things about this mascara - do yourself a favour and go and get it!!

Also - if you use eyelash curlers be prepared to be AMAZED!! It honestly looks like I'm wearing false lashes I get so much length and they look so perfectly symmetrical! And my eyelashes are so short too! 

3. ELF Essential Shimmering Facial Whip in Golden Peach - $1 | £1.95
*Dupe for Benefit's Sun Beam*
I have been using this highlighter almost daily! It gives me a perfect natural looking glow and complements any make up look - day or night. You need the tiniest bit of product so it will last forever too. I will repurchase and repurchase this! It has been one of my favourite products from my ELF haul

4. Bourjois Volume Clubbing Mascara in Absolute Black - $14.34 | £7.99
This mascara has been one of my favourites for a long time. It's perfect to wear in the gym because it does not run or smudge but it's not totally waterproof so it comes off easily with make up remover. On top of this, it gives my lashes really great definition so it's great for every day wear too.

5. MUA Eyebrow Kit - £3.50
I can't go a day without using this eyebrow kit now!! I use the shade 'Dark' but it comes in others and it is just perfect. It has absolutely everything you need to define and shape your brows for an incredible price. The shadow lasts all day and the wax is really easy to apply. The highlight colour is a little bit disappointing, as are the tweezers - but again for the price I am in love. You HAVE to buy this kit! If you're in the US, MUA is available in quite a lot of CVS stores now - so keep your eyes peeled!

6. Physicians Formula BB All In One Cheek and Lip Balm in Berry - $6.99
This ball is total perfection. I've been using this mainly on my cheeks for the most gorgeous, natural looking blush I've ever used. It blends in so well (I use and ELF small stipple blush just to blend it out) and lasts forever. I'm desperately trying to track down the peachy shade! 

What are some of your drug-store favourites? There's no need to always buy high end so I would love to hear your steals!

Love Always
