![]() Now I am not a fan of drugstore eyeshadows, especially since I find them very hard to work with and aren’t quite as pigmented as I’d like. In terms of brow gel, I swear by the Maybelline BrowDrama in the shade dark brown and I feel like this keeps my brow hairs in place all day long without making them feel crispy. They are both the right amount of creamy and waxy and have a good range of shades from warm to cool tones. These two are EXACT dupes for the ABH Brow Whiz and have a much more affordable price tag. And then lo and behold I discovered the NYX Micro Brow Pencil and the Archery Brow Pencil by Soap and Glory. ![]() Up until recently I was never a fan of drugstore brow products as I found they were a little too warm for my liking, as my brows have a very cool undertone and I always favoured the Anastasia Beverley Hills Brow Whiz in Granite. I dont tend to use powder much, just for my t-zone and I find that this powder works well to keep any oily-ness at bay and sits very nicely on the skin. A setting powder that I love is the Créme Touch Face Powder by No.7. ![]() A wonderful product from the drugstore and one I highly recommend. It is actually very similar to the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushes. This blush is so so good for a drugstore product, and I was actually shocked by it’s pigmentation and buttery texture when I first swatched it. Now I dont have a drugstore bronzer to show you unfortunately but a blush that I absolutely love is the Max Factor Creme Puff Blush in the shade Nude Mauve. Bourjois have a great shade range, so this foundation is perfect for an everyday look, with a light to medium coverage that is build-able! I highly recommend you give this a little swatchy-swatchy next time you’re in Boots or Superdrug. It’s good for sensitive skin, but it does have a fruity scent, which I don’t mind at all, but if you’re sensitive to scents then this might be something to keep in mind. It has a gel like consistency which sits beautifully on the skin, not heavy at all and leaves a lovely satin finish. The Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum has a cult status in the beauty world and with good reason! I don’t tend to use foundations often, being more of a BB Cream gal, but when I do, this is my favourite one. I also found that this is an exact dupe for the MAC Strobe Cream, which is also beautiful! Another alternative you could try is the Soap and Glory Hocus Focus which is also very similar and gives a lovely, glowy look to the skin. I also like to mix a pump of this in with one pump of whichever foundation I’m using to get a really dewy finish. You can also use this on just the tops of cheekbones, blending out the liquid with your finger tips. This stuff is so good and moisturises the skin really well while giving you a healthy glow. I have never found the right powder highlighter from the drugstore that suited my skin so an alternative that I have tried and fallen in love with is the Loréal Lumi Magique Primer which is a liquid champagne highlighting primer. Now, this post is going to be a bit of a long one so bear with me and without further ado, here are my top picks from the drugstore: She has curated her picks for high-end products to give you all a chance to see our picks from both drugstore and highend, so after you’re done here, go on her blog and give her a like and a follow! This post is also special because it’s my collaboration with Stephanie Bradbury, another amazing blogger and my friend here on the blogosphere! Her blog is beautiful with amazing posts that are beautifully written and her photographs are literally blog photography goals *heart-eye-emoji*. And to top it off, they’re super affordable too! So today I thought it would be good to give ya’ll a rundown of my favourite picks from the drugstore incase you’re looking to invest in a few more pieces or if you’re a complete beginner, these are the products that I have tried and loved. Recently drugstore companies have been really stepping up their game when it comes to beauty products and every time I head into Boots or Superdrug I tend to come out with two or three things that I had no intention of buying (like every other girl, I’m sure □ ).
