Drugstore Make up Faves

Hello all! I have been wanting to post about three beauty products that I have recently found that are affordable ( under $15) and game- changing. I have immensely enjoyed using these and would like to share them with you:

L'Oreal True Match Healthy Luminous Makeup

This liquid foundation is an amazing multi-tasker. I found it to be very hydrating and gives you an equal amount of buildable coverage and luminosity. It is a very breathable, airy foundation. It's easy to find a perfect color match as it is available in 12 shades. This foundation contains skin enhancing vitamins C and E, and has been noted to improve skin clarity and tone after several weeks of use. One of my favorite things about this foundation is that it has caused zero problems for my highly sensitive and acne - prone skin. I would think that this product would suit almost all skin types. Another bonus: contains SPF 20-so you're covered there ( pun intended). Last but not least: the price. It's a steal at $12.95. Available at your local drugstore or Target. My skin is fair to medium and I used the shade C3. You can see the luminosity on the swatch pictured below. I give this product three thumbs up!

L'Oreal Paris Magic Smooth Souffle Blush

Another item I wish I had tried years ago! Creme blush. I am OBsessed with this product. Due to my skin issues with sensitivity and acne, I have previously avoided any type of Creme blush. I was in for a real treat when I took a chance and bought this. This blush is extremely light and airy, buildable, and gives you an extremely natural flushed look. I found this product to also be skin- friendly. This awesome potion is soft to the touch. The price is $12.95. A dab of this on the apples of your cheeks and you're ready to go. This blush comes in 4 shades. I use celestial and L-O-V-E it. Try it- you'll be happy you did!

Covergirl Bombshell by Lashblast Mascara

Having read several reviews of this mascara which were all favorable, and being in the market for some new mascara, I decided to try this. This mascara has a double sided wand- step one is the base coat. I have found that this gave me enough volume and definition to be worn alone ( good if you're short on time).  Step 2 is my favorite- it gives you a sleek, jet-black glossy finish that really adds that extra "oomph ." If you're feeling really frisky, you can add 2 coats of step two--- whoaaaaa. I really like this mascara. It definitely gives significantly increased volume and definition- with a touch of drama! The price is a little higher than most CG mascaras- $11.99- but it's like you are getting two mascaras in one- so seems worth it to me. My only complaint about this mascara is that it is very difficult to remove. I have tried several different removers- and found that even after scrubbing, I still have residue similar to waterproof mascara. However, I still continue to use it!!
