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!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

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...
