DRUGSTORE FACE.

2 THUMBS UP FOR THE DRUGSTORE!


hey ladies. so if you haven't checked out my youtube lately, i've posted a new "drugstore pickups" video - i got some good things this time; be sure to check back here or my youtube for some reviews!

i know there's been a huge HYPE for MAC for the past couple of months; and yeah, i'm not gonna lie, i was a part of it - my MAC collection is a little insane right now; butttttttt, i've never neglected the drugstore brands!!!! [they ARE getting a little expensive now though, do you all agree?!?! shiet!] but i get a lot of great feedback when i share/talk about drugstore items, so i think i'm gonna focus a lot more attention to that because i KNOW it helps out majority, imaybe even ALL my subscribers &viewers - because foreal, who CAN'T go to walmart &buy a $5 product?! there's a 99.9% better chance of my subscribers going out to try/buya REVLON product for $4 rather than going out and trying/buying a MAC product for $15. yeaH? yeah.

so i'm in the process of testing out the new drugstore goodies i've recently purchased; except for the nail polishes, because i'm lazy to do my nails right now. but i've recently been trying the Neutrogena Moistureshine Lipglosses and the Rimmel London Sexy Curves Mascara - so far, so good. i'll have a COMPLETE review by the beginning of next week - so if you've been wanting to try these but still aren't sure, check out my upcoming reviews! (=

and here, my dears, is a DRUGSTORE FACE! EVERYTHING used [except 3 items - MAC prep+prime lash &MAC browfinisher &MAC blush stray rose; but these could EASILY be replaced with drugstore items!!!] were drugstore products (= and gosh darnit, i think it looks JUST AS GOOD as when i use the same type of products from MAC. holllerrrrrR.

FIRST, peep the eyelashes!
MAC prep+prime lash & Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara


YOU'VE GOT A DRUGSTORE FACEE!
neener neener neeeeeeener!


my [attractive] up-close shot.
*NOT edited!
what you see is what you motherfackn get!


sooooo if i didn't tell you that i used all drugstore products in these pictures, would you believe me?!?! - honestly, if i look back at these pictures a month or two from now, i probably would think that i used my typical MAC studio fix+engraved powerpoint e/l+zoomlash....but NOPE! this is what i used instead....


Neutrogena Moistureshine gloss [Groove] *DUPE FOR NARS TURKISH DELIGHT*, Rimmel Hide the Blemish Concealer [SOFT HONEY], Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara [EXTREME BLACK], Rimmel Lasting Finish mineral foundation [SOFT BEIGE], Wet N Wild Kohl brow/eyeliner [DARK BROWN], Revlon Colorstay eyeliner [BLACK]

this is the Wet N Wild brow pencil & the Revlon colorstay eyeliner
**BOTH REALLY RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS, FOREAL!!!!


so there you have it, ladies!!! some GREAT drugstore products that i truly recommend - the Rimmel mineral foundation & concealer is BOMB. i use the concealer EVERYDAY and i honestly think it's a GREATTTTT product for $3.99 baby! it blends SO WELLL and EASILY and gives [me] a natural finish to the point where i dont even have to wear face makeup if i didnt want to.
MORE REVIEWS &DETAILS COMING SOOOOOOON!!!!!!


have a great week!
HOLLLLLLLLLUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

i've been lemming some of those drugstore producs: neutrogena lipgloss & sexy curves mascara. Can't wait to see your review! your lashes look beautiful:)

Riza said...

the look is flawless. you don't even need to use the mineral foundation! :]

do you curl your eyelashes before priming them and putting some mascara? i'm jealous of all your eyelash pictures -- my poor babies are so sparse. LOL

I feel so bad I've been neglecting the drugstores. I forget that they have some amazing stuff. Your lashes look gorgeous.

Gorgeous!!! I'm definitely gonna have to get that mascara.

mszcheysser said...

Oh wow (: It doesn't even look like this. You should post more blogs like this, especially for those who can't afford the high-end & who feels pressured to use most of their money to buy so. Eek! (Maybe, like me? Haha)

But anyways, you are so good with makeup! Your skin looks so good! (:
