Do you love hearing about “save” version of makeup or beauty products from the drugstore?! 🙋‍♀️ Beauty favorites don’t have to break the bank, because girllll let me tell you – the drugstore has some amazing finds. Dare I say, some are even better than high end! 🤫 Walgreens, Walmart, & Target we’re coming for ya – get ready for our drugstore beauty favorites! We would love to hear what yours are too!

p.s. spilling all of our other beauty picks here!

Face

Elf Halo Glow Liquid Filter

Halo Glow Liquid Filter // Vest

For under $15, I recommend trying this stuff out STAT! 💥 It’s gone viral and now I can see why! Now my skin is not the best, but it truly does make the skin look filtered in my opinion (not that we need that to feel good!). You can put this on by itself to give a little boost and evening to the skin or mix with your foundation for a “glow from within”!

Halo Glow Liquid Filter

Lisa here with a minimal makeup solution for those days you need a little coverage and glow up. This e.l.f. product is quickly becoming my daily go-to without using foundation. It blends so nicely into the skin after my skin care routine to even out some skin tone and add a little dewey glow. I have not tried the product on top of foundation, although you can use it in that way. I am wearing shade 3.5 medium.

Maybelline Fit Me Powder

Maybelline Fit Me Powder [translucent] 

Powder under $9 that you will want to buy again and again! I wear the translucent and love it! I feel like it hides shine and really blurs my pores.

Wet N Wild Tinted Hydrator

Wet N Wild Tinted Hydrator [wearing color Medium Tan]

This Tinted Hydrator is perfect for a light to medium coverage, PLUS it has skincare built in! 

Claire’s Under Eye Concealer

Color Corrector // Concealer

I had my makeup done professionally for a wedding and the makeup artist actually suggested these drugstore products! If you have dark circles under your eyes, a peachy tone color corrector works wonders! Once that layer sets, I go in with this hydrating concealer to brighten the area!

Katy’s Milani Blush

Milani Blush

My favorite blush 🥰 with the perfect amount of shimmer. I use color “Luminoso” – as you can tell it’s well loved!

Eyes

Erin’s Lash Paradise Mascara

Lash Paradise Mascara

Hands down, the best $10 I’ve spent on Amazon when it comes to beauty products! I love how this mascara lengthens and thickens my lashes, without transferring to my face at all!

Sky High Mascara

Maybelline Sky High Mascara

I stand by that this Maybelline Sky High mascara is MAGIC! Under $10 and better than most high end options in my opinion!

Sthefany’s L’Oréal Voluminous Original Washable Mascara

L’Oréal Voluminous Original Washable Mascara

L’Oreal Paris Double Extend Tubing Mascara

L’Oreal Paris Double Extend Tubing Mascara

Jen here, I also got pink eye a few weeks back – which meant I had to replace all my eye makeup! This mascara is one I will go to the grave with! I’ve tried so many and personally love this one the most! What sold me was the double wands = double extend! You really get your lashes the longest with this application. I also love the fact that when you go to wash your face before bed, warm water literally clumps this mascara right off. By far, the easiest mascara removal I’ve ever encountered!

e.l.f. Intense Ink Eyeliner

Lips

NYX Lip Liner

Lip Liner // More Shade Options [shown in shades Nude Beige, Natural, Mauve, Nude Pink, and London]

If you’re a lip liner girl, I love this under $5 drugstore brand! My toxic trait is buying a new one every time I run into CVS. Oopsies!

e.l.f. SKIN Holy Hydration Lip Mask

e.l.f. SKIN Holy Hydration Lip Mask

This ELF lip mask has my heart [and it’s only $7] 🤯💙 Makes my lips feel so smooth and hydrated – much needed this time of year!

Burt’s Bees 100% Natural Moisturizing Lipstick

Burt’s Bees 100% Natural Moisturizing Lipstick [wearing color Ruby Ripple]

Sthefany’s KISSIO Lip Plumper

KISSIO Lip Plumper

Amazon’s #1 best seller! Let me tell you, if you are on the hunt for a lip plumper that works, this might be the one for you. Sthefany here! I saw a video review online and the results were astonishing. But I was hesitant to purchase it because online reviews can be misleading. But after going through a couple reviews on Amazon, I was sold. For starters, it was only $10 dollars so I didn’t have much to lose. I could not have made a better decision because now I know why this product is a best seller. It does the job by enhancing the lips in less than 5 minutes. I highly recommend giving this a try!

Other

Lisa’s ELF Brow Lift & Applicator

Brow Lift // Applicator

Ambassador Lisa here still working on my brow game. This product came as a suggestion from my daughter, and I am learning to work the product but definitely like the results it gives. This eyebrow tool is a game changer! (And the price is incredible!) Does anyone have any tips as I continue to perfect my brows?

Allison’s L’Oreal Paris Brow Stylist Definer

L’Oreal Paris Brow Stylist Definer

The older I get, the fewer eyebrows I have! I have tried soooo many eyebrow pencils, all different price points, and I found this one from Loreal, for under $10, is my favorite! It fills in my brows, but isn’t so heavy that it looks fake. I will say buy 2 or so at a time, because if you use it daily, the pencil will only last a few weeks.
