Ok, we know drugstore makeup is all the rage these days, but do these brands really live up to their name? Why not just go to a luxury makeup store and call it a day? I personally believe that, with of course some exceptions, that drugstore products are as good and if not better than the luxury (and this is coming from a girly who has lived and breathed the entertainment/beauty industry, trust me I've tried everything luxury)! Rather not pay the hefty price tag? I've put some products to the test to see if they give us what they promise 😉 Here are my top recommended products that will have you snatched and feeling your best self all day 😘

As someone that wants to age gracefully, I’ve been known to get sucked into the trends and “hot” products. Well, I used to when I had disposable income. Now that I’m living at or below my means and sticking to a budget, I’ve found some staple skincare items and love them and their performance. People randomly even compliment me on my skin and during a facial a couple months ago, the aesthetician said that my skin looked mid-to late twenties!! I’ll take it!!
Let’s talk about this list. These are reasonably priced (for the most part) skincare items that are available at local retailers (big box, drug stores, Amazon).
Enjoy!
