I love Drugstore Makeup Tag!

1. What is your favorite drugstore makeup brand?

I'd have to say I've never been disappointed with L'oreal or Nyx. Those two are my favorite favorites... but they aren't exactly the cheapest. I'm starting to like Covergirl quite a lot too, so that's probably the most affordable drugstore brand that I love... but L'oreal is probably first. 

2. What are your favorite face, cheek and lip products?
 
Face product is probably a tie between my Covergirl 3 in one Stay fabulous whatever foundation and my Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream. The Covergirl foundation is really great coverage and it stays all day and it is quite awesome. I really like it. The Olay BB Cream is really great for my dry skin in the winter time and it gives a nice coverage also. 

Cheek- I'm just sort of experimenting with blush right now but if I had to pick my favorite is Elf baked blushes. They're really nicely pigmented... I think these are harder to find in stores unfortunately. They do have them on Elf's website, I'm not sure if they're at Target at all. I got mine from Harmon, Bed Bath and Beyond would probably have it also. 

Lip I'm gonna go with Nyx Butter Glosses. So pigmented, so hydrating on the lips and I just love them. My favorite color that I've tried is Maple Blondie. It is a really great pink color that works with any look and would be flattering to anyone I think. It's really nice. 

3.Least Favorite Product?

I'm not crazy about the Maybeline Dream Lumi concealer... and idk why! I feel like it doesn't really cover my dark circles. It's not all that terrible, I might even repurchase it, but idk. I feel like it's fine and I'm just expecting too much from my concealer, but that was a bit disappointing. 

4. What is the best makeup bargain?
 

Wet n Wild color icon trio's. They're insanely pigmented, feel really nice, have a wide variety of colors and they're less than $4. Ummm yes! They have bigger ones too for 4.99 also that look awesome, but I haven't tried them yet, so idk. 

5. What is your favorite underdog product? (Something you love that often gets overlooked?)


My favorite Mascaras are overlooked! Physician's Formula's organic jumbowear mascara and the L'oreal Butterfly mascara. Really great, hardly hear anyone talking about them. 

6. A drugstore product that is overpriced? 

I really like the Physician's formula mascara, and I want to try some of their other stuff... but the brand is so expensive for drugstore. It's a bit overpriced. 

Also I like these a lot, but Maybeline's new facestudio highlight and stick blushes are pretty damn expensive and I don't think they're life changing for the price. It's something I would repurchase cause I like it and I want to see other colors... but I'll wait for a sale or something.

7. Show your best drugstore dupe(s)!!



8. Drugstore product that isn't worth the hype?

Probably the Maybeline Babylips. I really like the Dr. Rescue because they are hydrating and they do have a great color payoff, but they probably aren't the most hydrating or best color payoff. Idk I feel like Revlon Lip Butters are better. Also Rimmels Show Off laquers aren't the best. They're pigmented and everything... but I reach for mine a lot less than most other things. 

That is it! Hope everyone is having a really nice Valentine's Day! 

Byeeeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
