Oh man! I've been super busy latley! I'm leaving for Florida on Wednesday with my son and I had to make sure everything is all set around the house for my husband. He has a bad habit of not remembering where anything is! I think thats normal though! (Haha!)

I was thinking today about the makeup I use from the drugstore. Which gave me the idea for this post! When I was in high school I never even thought about making a trip to the department store for anything let alone makeup! I exclusivley used only items that could be found at Wal-Mart. I used to be so proud of the fact that I could look good with low end cosmetics. I still believe that, but I really love my trips to Sephora or Ulta. So I thought I would share what products I enjoy from each brand that you can find at the drugstore, Wal-Mart or Target. So here goes!

Revlon: My favorite! Amazing lip products, foundation, concealer, powder and nail polish! The Nearly Naked foundation and powder, Photo Ready concealer, and lip butters are some of my go to items!

Maybelline: Baby Lips! Gotta have it! I'm not a big Maybelline fan but I will always repurchase my Baby Lips! Peach Kiss and Coral Crush are my favorites. I believe Coral Crush is limited edition but I it is still being sold.

Covergirl: Mascara! Lashblast is my all-time favorite mascara. I like the one in the orange tube, but also Clump Crusher in the green tube is great!

Loreal: Foundation, powder and lipsticks! True Match foundation and powder, Truematch Lumi Foundation are great for every skintone and undertone. I always have Fairest Nude lipstick within my reach!

Wet & Wild: Eyeshadow! Love their singles, trios and palettes!

Physicans Formula: Gel eyeliner! I have the trio for hazel eyes!

N.Y.C: Bronzer! The shade "Sunny" is a great matte bronzer, perfect for contouring!

Hard Candy: Concealer! Glamoflauge concealer is amazing. You can hide anything! You can get Hard Candy at Wal-Mart.

E.L.F: Brushes! The Studio ($3) brushes are great! These are the black handled ones. You can buy ELF at Target.

Rimmel: Primer and eyeliner! Fix and Perfect Pro and Scandel Eyes Waterproof Kohl eyeliner. The nude shade is great for lining the lower waterline to make you look more awake.

Milani: Blush! Mai Tai is my favorite shade! I can only find Milani at CVS.

Garnier: I know they aren't really a "makeup brand" but the oil-free BB cream is my favorite!

I do like other items by these brands, but these are my must haves from each! I hope you enjoyed my drugstore favorites! What are your must haves?

I've been looking for a good contouring powder I'm definitely trying out N.Y.C.'s! I haven't tried Garnier's oil-free BB cream but I'm obsessed with my Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream - might be the most useful product I've ever owned.

Do you have a good product to highlight/add a little shimmer? Like on cheekbones and under brows? I use ELF right now but I'm running low!

My skin is too oily for the Maybelline! I had a sample of it and liked how it made my skin look but by the end of the day I looked like am oil slick!
Wet & Wild bronzer in Reserve Your Cabana is a great highlight!!
