Drugstore makeup products

These are the products, which I use every morning. They are a lot cheaper than the high end product, but still work wonders !

For my eyes :

- Rimmel london quad eyeshadow in 002 smokey brun :

Beautiful colours and as you can see I have hit the pan!

-Maybelline Eyestudio quads in 05 Glamour browns :
More vibrant than the quads of Rimmel london, very beautiful as well.

-Maybelline color tattoo 24 hours in the colour gold :

This makes my eye shadow stay for a whole, I notice a big difference when I don't use it and when I do use it.

-Catrice cosmetics liquid liner waterproof : Love love love this liquid liner, easy to work with and the most important part a drugstore liner which does not smudge ! One minus point is that it's not a matt finish.. but it's just around 4-5 euros so I can't blame it for the non-matt finish look. This is my 6th liquid liner of Catrice cosmetics .. which shows that I really admire it.

-L'oreal Paris Super liner in the colour black:

love the thin brush and the matt finish but it does smudge.. so I only use it on the middle part of my eyelid where it doesn't smudge so easily.

-Essence eyebrow kit:

very cheap and it does it job, very easy to apply, natural look, stays on the whole day, I couldn't ask for more.

-Essence eye shadow brush:

I have had it for four years and it is still in a great condition. I have no complaints about it.

-Essence angle brush:

Same as the eye shadow brush, have had it for four years and it is still in a great condition. No complaints !

For my face:

- L'oreal Paris infallible 24 hours in the colour 140 Beige Dore :

Easy to apply and easy to blend, medium coverage, natural finish, AWESOME.

-Garnier concealer pure active 2 in 1 spot roll-on : Gives me extra coverage on my pimples and it doesn't worsen the breakouts which is a wonder.

-Shiseido optimal radiance powder in 01 pale moonlight :

I noticed that my foundation stayed a lot longer on my face but I still shine like a pig so .. meh

-Catrice cosmetics Matt bronzing powder in medium skin :

Colour isn't my favourite, it's too orange for my skin. But I can't find any good drugstore bronzer which has the right colour so maybe I'm going to buy the hoola bronzer from benefit cosmetics but if you know a good drugstore one, comment down below.

-Essence blush brush :

Same story as the previous ones about the other two brushes, they are cheap, works fine, but I have never had high end brushes so I wouldn't know what a good or a bad brush feels like.

For my lip :

- The body shop lip pencil in 006 pink :

Really love this colour, it's a berry pink nude colour which matches my own lip colour but it's more vibrant than my own lip colour, which makes my lip look more alive. Also it's very longlasting and semi matt finish.

-Calvin Klein lipstick in the colour first kiss :

Beautiful nude with a pink tone and beautiful matt finish but not very longlasting.

Hope it helps with choosing drugstore products,

Yours, Lucy

The reason why I really love Lush products is because these products really do what they claim to do. Although, they are pretty expensive for my teenager budget, they are truly worth it. What I do is for example not using it too often so it could last long for my money, I use it for example once a week.

They gave me a little book about Lush, which is well organized. Each product has a description and they are categorized in the categories : Bath bombs, Bubble bars, Soap, Shower Jellies, Shower gels, Shower creams, Shower smoothies, Showders, Wash cards, Wash sheets, Body scrubs, Moisturizers, Fresh Masks, Hair dressing, Hair oil treatments, Shampoo. Conditioner, Bath melts, Massage Bars, Body Lotions, Face cleaner, Toner & Steamers And many more ! Omg.. big list sorry. But they have so many products and they are all so unique. This book really makes me excited to try all their products.

BIG Shampoo REVIEW: This product is amazing. It does what it says it will do. Ït will make your hair BIG and it gives tons of volume to your hair. There are small chunks of salt which makes your hair that big, which you can compare it with sea salt spray. and the other part is the shampoo which smells amazing and cleans your hair very well. It smells a bit like the sea/beach. I always use this shampoo whenever I have a big event and want to have big volume in my hair.

Bubble gum lipscrub REVIEW : Again it does what it says. It scrubs your lip and as a result, you will get a lip feeling like a baby bottom. Your lip will feel so smooth and soft and the other good part is, you get to eat the lipscrub ! Which tastes like bubble gum !

Snow fairy shower gel REVIEW : This product smells astonishingly goooood. It's very expensive but that's ok because I only use it once in two weeks, because if you use it too often you will get used to the smell and it wouldn't be as exciting as in the beginning. Also this is a limited edition during the Christmas times. It has a very strong sweet bubblegum smell to it.

If you stick around, there will be an upcoming review about many products from lush for people who has rosacea skin type. My skin is covered in redness, so I will be soon buying some products for my skin!

Yours, Lucy
