(Current) Top 10 Drugstore Beauty Products Under $10!

Hi Beauties! Today I thought that I would show you my 10 picks from the drugstore that you can purchase for under $10. I love drugstore products, so narrowing it down to only 10 products was extremely difficult! I hope that you find some good deals! Happy shopping!

1. Maybelline Color Tattoo by Eye Studio 24hr Eyeshadow 

Everyone has heard about these. "Bad to the Bronze" is a cult favorite. These are great bases. I love wearing them underneath shadows or alone. Super pigmented and long wearing shades! I can't wait to add more to my collection!

from Left to Right: "Painted Purple", "Too Cool", and
"Bad to the Bronze"

2. Loreal's Telescopic Shocking Extensions Mascara and Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara

I cheated a little and counted these products as one because they are awesome used together and separately. I cannot decide between the two because the Loreal Mascara's are just out of the park. Amazing. 

3. Loreal's Voluminous Smoldering Eyeliner 

I own this product in black and brown and it is honestly my favorite eyeliner for my waterline. It is waterproof, insanely pigmented, and long wearing. This will not smudge or give you raccoon eyes on those nights out on the town.

4. Loreal's Carbon Black Lineur Intense
The Carbon Black Lineur Intense is a very black liquid liner. This is great for beginners because the felt tip is so easy to use. I could not justify buying a high end liquid liner after finding this one.

5. Neutrogena's New Oil-Free Acne Wash Redness Soothing Cleanser

This is my daily face wash. I used to use the Pink Grapefruit cleanser, but I needed a change. I picked this up. It has the same amount of Salicylic Acid (2%). This is a cream cleanser so it does not have the same exfoliating beads as the pink one, but it also leaves your face with a cool, refreshing feeling that I love. As far as redness, I have not seen a huge improvement in my redness or acne scarring, but it has helped with my breakouts!

6. Batiste Dry Shampoo

This is the absolute best dry shampoo. I love this so much! The different scents are so fun and they are great at masking the 3-day oily smell. It does not leave a white cast over your hair and it absorbs so nicely. This adds insane volume! I can't say enough good things about this. 

Soft Matte Lip Cream in Addis Ababa, NYX blush in Peach,
NYX lip pencil in Fruit Punch

7. NYX's Soft Matte Lip Cream & Butter Glosses

NYX's Lip Creams are simply amazing. They have a velvety texture and although they are matte, they do not dry out your lips. They are extremely pigmented so be careful! The butter glosses aren't sticky and they give a beautiful wash of color for an everyday look. 

8. NYX's Retractable Lip Pencils

These are so creamy and long lasting. They are the best lip liners I have ever found at the drug store. 

9. NYX's Blushes

The NYX blushes have the perfect amount of pigmentation and are super creamy. Although they do not offer a wide range of colors, I love the formula of this blush. 

10. Wet & Wild's Eyeshadow Palettes

These Wet & Wild shadows are so affordable, pigmented, and really creamy. I find that they are a little powdery. They have more fall out than other high-end shadows, but for the price you are playing, they are phenomenal. 

'Til Next Time:)

❤ My Must-Have Holy Grail Skincare Product!! ❤

Hi Lovelies!

I can't wait to share this MIRACLE product with you all! I recently tried this Alpha-H Liquid Gold Resurfacing Treatment which is currently on sale right HERE!

After the first time using this product, I noticed a huge difference in the texture of my skin. As you can see, this product contains Glycolic Acid and also licorice extract, which instantly tamed any acne flares I was having. This product is marketed as a resurfacing and firming treatment for reducing pigmentation, wrinkles, and sun damage. It promises a lot! And it delivers! This products brightens my skin and improves the texture of my skin. as

This product is very pricy. I suggest getting your hands on it while it is still on sale on BeautyBay. That being said, I would be willing to pay every penny again. This is a new holy grail product that I will never be without ever again. I have never used such an effective product.

I use this every other evening after I cleanse my skin. This is the ONLY product I use on my skin on the days that I use this. Which means that once I have cleansed my skin, I apply this product and nothing else. No toner, no moisturizer, nothing. I apply this to my face, neck, and decolletage.

Please let me know if you have tried any other products from the liquid gold range, I would love to try! I hope that all of you guys give this a chance, I have heard nothing but great things about this product! This can be our little secret =)

Hugs!

My Favorite Fall & Winter Nail Polishes!

1. Deborah Lippmann's "Naked"

This is a great nude color that looks natural yet glam on any skin tone. 

2. Orly's "Confetti"

This is said to be a Kardashian favorite. This is a pretty, sheer baby doll pink. The only downside to this polish is the four coats that it takes for an opaque color. 

3. Zoya's "Vanessa"

This is a natural nail line, free of a lot of the chemicals found in other nail polishes. The pigmentation of this lacquer is phenomenal. The shade is a gorgeous cranberry color. Jaw dropping.

4. Essie's "Don't Sweater It"

This is the most perfect cool-toned taupe shade. It is perfect for sweater weather days during the fall and winter! I definitely recommend!

5. OPI's "You Don't Know Jaques!"

This is similar to "Don't Sweater It" except with more of a green undertone, making it more of a khaki color. You probably don't need both, but choose one that you like better with your skin tone!

1. Essie's "Butter Please"

Okay, personally, finding a blue that really looks good on me was a huge battle. I love blue shades, but I find that the color in the bottle does not reflect the same vibe on my nails. However, I have fallen in love with this shade. It is bright, while still warm and gorgeous for the cold weather. 

2. Essie's "Recessionista" 

This is a deep cranberry color that looks great with sweaters and gold accessories. 

3. Essie's "Carry On"

Carry On is a deep plum/purple shade. This is perfect if you want something dark without going completely black. I like alternative colors like this instead of black. 

4. Deborah Lippmann's "Since I Fell For You"

This is an extremely pigmented formula. It is a great red shade with a slight gold iridescence. 

5. Berry Shade by ColorMe

I am so sorry the name is not on the bottle of this shade. But if you can get your hands on it, purchase! This is a nice berry color with great pigmentation. 

6. Inglot #942

If you are able to pull off dark, navy blues, this one is great. All Inglot products are super pigmented and their nail polishes are no exception! This blue has a pretty, subtle iridescence to it as well. 

7. Orly's "Rage"

This is the absolute perfect holiday shade. It is a glamorous, shimmery shade that isn't too in-your-face. I love this shade as both an accent nail color or for all of your nails. It is simply a perfect festive, holiday color. 

So those are all of my favorites for the up and coming seasons! I feel like this is a time to really amp up your nail polish game! Let me know what your favorites are!
