I couldn't think of an eyeshadow palette from the Australian store that has really impressed me, so turned to my Total Intensity by Prestige Long Term Relationship Single Eyeshadows instead. The pigmentation is insane, I've got the MAC Club dupe Hocus Pocus and the stunning Bewitched. I don't wear these all the time but they are great quality, I'll need to do a full post for you soon as I think they're underrated. Eye staples that I use daily are also drugstore gems, Covergirl's Clump Crusher mascara and essence Long-Lasting Eyeliner in Hot Chocolate.
I'm loving lip pencils and long lasting lip products right now - the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet's are a firm favourite (shown here in the shades Frambourjoise and Pink Pong) but the newcomer from Rimmel is floating my boat right now, too - the Provocalips 16HR Kiss Proof Lip Colour in Make Your Move*. I've recently fallen for the $2 essence lipliners too and plan on picking up some back-ups during the Priceline sale (seriously, too cheap people!) but another more vibrant lip pencil option is the new Maybelline Color Drama Intense Velvet Lip Pencils*. I have been wearing the natural Nude Perfection* and the bright Fab Orange* over and over since they hit my desk!
I'm a big fan of affordable foundation offerings, and the newest release on the street is the Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous Oil Free Foundation. I've been trialling it and so far it hasn't knocked my beloved Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3in1 Foundation from the top spot, but it's still pretty good and worth a try! I struggled to think of a decent high street blush until I clapped eyes on my Maybelline Master Glaze Blush Sticks* in my everyday drawer (shown here in Coral Sheen, Pink Fever and Just-Pinched Pink) They are probably the only blush I'd strongly recommend from Priceline - if you've tried a great drugstore blush I'd love to hear about it though!
What drugstore staples do you swear by? Will you be picking anything up from the Priceline sale?

I really like them! Some have shimmer which I'm not a fan of in these, but so many colours to choose from :)
DeleteYou reminded me that I have one of those Prestige eye shadows somewhere - I must dig it out because the pigmentation is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteyes you must - they are a product I always seem to forget about but they are such high quality for a priceline shadow!
DeleteOh you've got some lovely picks here! I totally NEED a shadow like macs club BADLY! I haven't tried the clump crusher and the rimmel provocalips but would love to. My drugstore items I swear by are powders from the brand ZA, mascara and eyeliners from japanese brands we get here in our drugstore and nivea lip balms amongst many other things! :p
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you don't have a MAC Club-esque dupe in your stash, it would really suit some of the looks you create! Clump Crusher is my all-time fave, such a great mascara.
DeleteI LOVE the Luma by Jess Hart blush in Soft Peach. You should check it out.
ReplyDeleteI have that one - quite pigmented for a drugstore blush but not a shade I reach for often :) So glad you love it!
DeleteProvocalips Make Your Move is a favourite of mine for long lasting everyday lipstick! Doesn't budge regardless of what I eat or drink! Love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a great long-lasting colour, I didn't expect to fall for it like I have!
DeleteI love this post... so many lovely products... I am so happy that you like the Provocalips.. I did not like them at all unfortunately :/
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to drugstore stuff I have two things that I will never ever be able to live without and those are Maybelline The Colossal Volum´ Express and Maybelline EyeStudio Lasting Drama Gel Liner... I LOVE them so much!!

That's too bad about the Provocalips for you, my lips aren't generally dry so I find it applies nicely to my lips. Will have to look into those Maybelline products now!
