We sure do love us some drugstore makeup around these parts, right? We’ve even got a couple of these kit posts already. You can check out our first drugstore makeup kit and our updated makeup kit which all include products that I still 100% love and stand behind but since the drugstores have been ROCKING out amazing new products as of late, I figured it was about time we had an updated drugstore makeup kit for this year! Here are just a few of my favorite things that are currently in the drugstore.

OH, & don’t forget to check out our favorite post of the day && save the big bucks with this DIY Hair Mask Treatment!

All-Inclusive Drugstore Makeup Kit! All the products that are hot at the drugstore this year! #beauty #makeup

 

You can absolutely build your makeup kit from drugstore beauty products and you don’t have to worry about spending the big bucks if that’s not your thing. These products are all amazing choices for a beginner looking to build a kit or a makeup junkie looking to add to theirs!

Drugstore Makeup Kit 1

Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous Foundation // $6.99 //  This is one of my absolute favorite foundations out right now. Covergirl did an awesome job with a liquid foundation that gives medium to full coverage. I apply it with a beauty blender or just my fingers and it always goes on super even and gives me about 9+ hours of wear time.

L’Oreal Magic Lumi Primer //  $10.39  //  I have been raving about this little gem for over a year now and I still stand with it. The best illuminating primer I have ever tried. It will seriously surprise you and rock your socks off!

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Compact  //  $12.49  //  If you need a powder either to wear as your foundation or to go ahead and have something to set everything. This one is perfect. A flawless finish.

Almay Smart Shade Anti-Aging Foundation  //  $9.99   //  How this does it, I will never understand. It has the ability to completely blend and match your skin tone. Goes on easily and evenly. Perfect for light to medium coverage and especially awesome if you’re looking for that “no-makeup” makeup look.

Revlon BB Cream  //  $10.99  //  Being a huge fan of BB creams I was super excited to try this out and I can tell you it did not disappoint. Like most BB’s it’s meant for light coverage and the formula is a little thicker than what a tinted moisturizer would be. I use this in the summer as my foundation and in the winter I will probably apply before my foundation.

Maybelline Dream Lumi Highlighting Concealer  //  $4.79  //  Another super favorite of mine. Conceals and highlights all at the same time. This is one my under eye saviors followed closely by it’s twin which I mention next.

L’Oreal Magic Lumi Highlight  //  $12.79  //  If you need a liquid highlighter that applies super easy and isn’t way too shimmery this one is absolutely for you! It’s awesomeness knows no limits.

Maybelline Baby Skin  //  $5.99  //  I love this thing. Seriously not one thing ever makes my pores appear as small as they do when I am wearing this. I don’t use it as an all over primer but I do spot treat with it. Right around my nose, t-zone and chin where my pores tend to appear super-sized. It mattifies me and makes makeup application a breeze.

Drugstore Makeup Kit 2

Milani Baked Blush  //  $7.99  //  Milani is definitely one of my go-to drugstore makeup brands for blush. Everything is always super pigmented and gorgeous. I especially love all the shades in their baked blush line.

Maybelline Master Glaze  //  $5.39  //  I love a could cream blush and way back once upon a time I feel in love with the Nars multiples but at the end of the day they’re expensive. So I’m always looking for something that compares and these little gems are no less than perfect. The pigment is on point. You can have a simple flush of color or really build upon it so it pops.

Rimmel Natural Bronzer  //  $5.79  //  This is another long time favorite. I am completely obsessed with it. It goes down as one of my favorite bronzers even over high end.

Elf Shimmering Facial Whips  //  $1.00  // You seriously can not beat these for only a $1. All of the shades make for the perfect highlight or blush. Whatever you’re in the mood for.

Elf Contouring Blush & Bronzer  //  $3.00  //  This is a little bit of heaven. A brush and bronzer duo that works well on most skin tones! I’m a tad obsessed with it.

NYC Sun & Bronze  //  This is new to NYC and available in most drugstores, I have yet to see it online but I am uber obsessed with it. Go get you one!

Revlon Blush  //  $13.49  // Looking for a rich flush of color? Grab yourself one of these photoready blush pods from Revlon. They’re stunning in every shade.

Drugstore Makeup Kit 3

Covergirl Bombshell Mascara  //  $11.99  //  One of my newest favorites. The volume you’re going to get from this is amazeballs. It’s always in my makeup bag!

Almay intense i-color shadow stick  //  $7.99  //  As far as eye shadow crayons go these are pretty superior to any that I have tried. The pigment is awesome and the staying power is tremendous.

Revlon Colorstay 16 HR shadow  //  $7.79  //  I love these little quads because you get pretty decent pigment and a variety of shades. I use this particular one for regular every day makeup looks since it’s neutral.

Milani Retractable Eye Liner  //  $4.29  //  I heart this eye liner. So black. So easy. So in love.

Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascara Retro Glam  // $5.99  //  Bold lashes. That’s really all that needs to be said, right? This mascara is the bomb dot com of mascaras!

Rimmel Scandaleyes Liner  //  $4.29  //  Long lasting intense color. This is a waterproof kohl kajal liner that is every bit of amazing.

Maybelline Color Tattoos  //  $4.19  //  These always amazing cream eye shadows will always be a favorite for me. The pigment is awesome and the staying power is unmatched.

Maybelline Pumped Up Colossal  //   $4.67  //  Super volume. This is a new to me mascara that I am absolutely loving!

L’Oreal Butterfly Mascara  //  $8.99  //  I use this mascara specifically when I am looking for length, if you’re wanting the appearnce of falsie this is a great alternative!

Maybelline Eyeshadow Quads  //  $5.69  // These are so fun. So many shades to choose from and really awesome texture. Awesome staying power and great pigment.

Drugstore Makeup Kit 4

NYC Liquid Lipshines  //  These are two more new to NYC products that can be found in your drugstores and I am simply in love. They’re not stick at all and are the perfect shades for all types of wear.

Revlon Lip Butter  //  $7.49  //  Awesome shades and fantastic pigment. If you grab a cult favorite lip butter from Revlon you will NOT be disappointed.

Rimmel Kate Lipstick  //  $5.79  // These shades are all so freaking amazing. I have so many and I haven’t met one that I didn’t like as of yet. A long-lasting shiny finish!

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains  //  $5.89  //  LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. These are cult favorites and with good reason, they are amazing!

Almay Liquid Lip Balm  //  $5.99  //  I picked to show this one in ‘pink pout’ because it’s a shade that I love and it’s also one of the best drugstore makeup lip gloss/balms ever. Definitely check out the other shades but picking it up in pink pout will not steer you wrong.

Phew! There we have it, this year’s Drugstore Makeup Kit!! I love these posts, they’re my favorite to read & write!!
Let me know your favorite drugstore beauty picks!!

    I’ve shared this on my facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/makeuperaserwithlizz) because I’ve gotten some PMs asking me for advice on drugstore brands. (I tend to buy higher end brands at Ulta.) Your post was perfect! Thank you so much for writing this.

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost. To show that one day, it could be their picture plastered across news outlets with a black and white filter.” - @beelzeboobz⁣
⁣
In 2019, Turkey had nearly 500 RECORDED femicides. ⁣
⁣
The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2014 database shows that between 2007 and 2012, on average, 60,000 women were killed violently around the world. ⁣
⁣
A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣

#WomenSupportingWomen looks a lot like putting in work to actively combat and also recognize violence against women. It looks like voting for political figures who don’t want to take the rights of women away. It looks like donating to causes that actively fight for these women. ⁣

I absolutely wouldn’t tell a woman that her thighs were too big. Or that I hated her stretch marks. Or her belly stuck out too far. Or that her arms were fat. ⁣

So why the frick am I ok saying it to myself? Sometimes we all need a little reminder when we look in the mirrror...⁣

Speak to yourself with grace. If you find yourself experiencing negative self talk ask yourself if you’d say it to someone else. If the answer is no.. full 🛑 ⁣

Wanna hear some random things about me?! ⁣ ⁣ 1 Wanna hear some random things about me?! ⁣
⁣
1️⃣ My hair has been over 50 different colors. Some of them all at the same time. It’s naturally blonde though⠀⁣
⠀⁣
2️⃣ I went to an all girls catholic high school and was asked not to take Spanish 3 because I talked too much 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
3️⃣ I have two cats, a dog, and a husband that I’ve been with since I was 16 years old⠀⁣
⠀⁣
4️⃣ I’m a double ♊️ which means I’m talkative, fiercely loyal and endlessly curious. Paired with being an enneagram 8 and it probably also means I’m a little bit psycho 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
5️⃣ I listen to murder podcasts to fall asleep.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
6️⃣ Playing with makeup is my happy place. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
7️⃣ I love the hottest hot sauces that most people won’t even smell. ⠀⁣

🔟 Creating this community has been one of my favorite things about life. What will you find here?! Easy beauty tips and tutorials, attainable fashion, endless Amazon finds, but also the UNCOMFORTABLE stuff: pap smears, depression, anxiety, the effects my husbands addiction had on our marriage, eating disorders, struggles with fertility, body acceptance, and being comfortable in your own skin. I try to keep it as real as humanly possible. Being so vulnerable all of the time isn’t the easiest thing but if it helps just one person feel less alone, I’m good! ⠀⁣

🌟 I’m so glad you’re here! I’d love to hear a fun fact about you!! 🌟 ⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
