My Current 3 Favourite Drugstore Cosmetic Products !!

Drumroll please .........................................................

Ok ! Here they are .....

In no particular order, of course.

Revlon Colorstay [Combo/Oily Skin Formula]
$15.00 @ Wal-Mart

Why I love this stuff : Ok, this is pretty embarassing. Before I started using this miracle in a bottle, I was still one of those suckers using CoverGirl foundations... Which I have been using since I started using make-up in like, Grade 7. Don't get me wrong, I have tried other foundations-but for some reason I always kept going back to my CG. Maybe beacause of how cheap it is, but I have learned that there are some products you can't be cheap about--foundation is one of them. I apply this product [after moisturizing and priming the face] with a cosmetic sponge, it can be tricky when you first start out--as the product dries pretty quickly. It is medium to full coverage and it is buildable, meaning that you control the coverage with the amount of product you apply. Now, for a 19 year old I have pretty horrid skin--It's incredibly uneven, I have discolorations and freckles all over the place. Combined with a concealer I get all the coverage I need without looking cakey or overdone. This product lasts from when I put it on in the a.m. to when I go to bed [usually in the a.m. as well]. One downside to this product is the colour range, I am extremely fair and use the lightest shade 'Ivory'.

If you have been looking to try a new foundation, I would recommend this 100% ! FYI There is also a formula available for Normal/Dry skin as well.

Hard Candy Baked Eyeshadow Duos

$4-5.00 @ Wal-Mart

Why I love them: Where to start? I have been LOVING the Hard Candy Cosmetics, ever since I started noticing stock going up in the Beauty section at Wal-Mart. Everytime I'm there I always check it out, the packaging is absoloutely adorable, they have some really pretty colours--what girl wouldn't be tempted to try out a couple things ?

So, I grabbed some up. I get them home, open them and swatch them to check out the colours ! With one swipe of the eyeshadow I am intrigued, excellent pigmentation and color pay-off [meaning the colour is true to how it appears in the pan]. Wow, I was happy with my purchase. Even if you only bought one of the duos, you're set for a whole eye look. With the proper tools [brushes] and application this product is STUNNING ! Just the right amound of shimmer, and the shadows are satiny [not like those cheap ones that resemble chalk after swirling a brush around in them], there is some fallout if you apply the product heavily--this happens with most shimmery products though. If you need help with application stay tuned for a post on "The Glam Life" Facebook Page !

And last, but DEFINITELY not least...

Rimmel Sexy Curves [Blue is Waterproof formula, Purple is Regular Formula]
$6-7.00 @ Wal-Mart
Why I love this stuff: This is AMAZING stuff right here !! First of all the applicator is AWESOME !! Here let me show you a picture...

This applicator holds just the right amount of product, it seperates lashes, curls them, defines them and volumizes them without clumping. Of course, using an eyelash comb & curler are optional before application but I recommend at least curling them. I always start at the outer part of my eye, I have some fussy lashes that like to go all wonky and criss cross eachother--and work my way in. Starting with the most product on the outer part and using less and less product as you reach the inner part of your eye. Another trick I use to make my lashes look darker & fuller is to apply one coat to the top of my lashes, the side parallel with my eyebrow [if you do this, do it before you go to the underside of your lashes, or the mascara may cause your lashes to droop]. This product lasts ALL day, and it gives you those glamorous looking lashes. Love Love LOVE !!!
