The Top Five Budget-Friendly Products That Won't Bust Your Wallet
When it comes to finding the products that will leave you looking flawlessly beautiful, the drugstore can be a veritable treasure trove of wonderful beauty gems.
When it comes to eye shadows, the key for high performance is in the texture and the pigments. When either element is lacking in quality, the result is a shadow that isn’t worth your time. Offering up the best pigmentation that we have seen in a drugstore shadow is L'Oréal ’s High Intensity Pigment (H.I.P) Eye Shadow Duos, high octane eye shadow duos in brilliant, bright, pigmented finishes. From shocking and intense to delicate and demure, H.I.P eye duos apply beautifully, blend flawlessly, and last all day, to boot.
Maybelline Great Lash Mascara
As iconic in the beauty world as that old jar of cold cream, Maybelline’s Great Lash Mascara has been the go-to for beauty-savvy drugstore shoppers for years. Offering up volume, length, and separation in the blackest of black formulas, Maybelline’s classic mascara lasts all day without flaking, fading, or creating unsightly clumps. No matter your lash type, you can go wrong with this pink and green tube of lash love.
Olay Definity Color Recapture
Speaking of items that blend flawlessly into the skin, one thing that can yield maximum impact on the skin with minimal effort is the tinted moisturizer. Offering up a drugstore variation that is as beneficial to the skin as it is instrumental to creating a flawless canvas is Oil of Olay’s Definity Color Recapture, an SPF-infused tinted moisturizer that provides anti-aging benefits over time. The excitement inducing results are apparent on the first application, as skintone becomes even and fine lines are blurred away, and continues through prolonged use as sun spots and tiny wrinkles fade into obscurity.
Physician’s Formula Happy Booster Highlighter
If there is one drugstore brand that rules in the face powder and bronzer category, Physician’s Formula is it. New from the line to excite and intrigue is a little gem called Happy Booster, a bronzer, highlighter, and blush in one. More specifically, Happy Booster is a blend of pressed powder designed to impart a radiance and subtle glow to the high planes of the cheeks. With just one swipe of the delightfully two-toned brush, laden with the heart embossed powder; the high planes of your face becomes delightfully luminous. A quick whiff of the powder relaxes nerves a bit too, as Happy Booster carries aroma therapeutic benefits thanks to its violet scent notes.
Cover Girl LipPerfection Lipsticks
When it comes to outfitting your lips in luxury, CoverGirl’s LipPerfection Lipsticks not only pack tons of rich, creamy pigment into each chic tube, but also essential moisturizing ingredients, to improve the lip’s overall condition and appearance. Lip Perfection comes in four shade families, with varying finishes and textures offered in each of the fourty four shades. Offering up added benefits is LipPerfection’s unique Transformative Silk Therapy Complex, which smoothes and moisturizes the lips more and more with each successive use.
