Top Drugstore Foundations!

Top Drugstore Foundations

Hello! I hope everyone had a great week this week! Today I wanted to share with you my top picks for Drugstore Foundation products. I’m always on the quest to find the perfect foundation (drugstore brand or not) so, I’ve definitely tried out my fair share of products before coming up with those that made this list.

Rimmel London: Lasting Finish – this is a great matte finish foundation. This is a liquid foundation that is full/medium coverage. My favorite part about this foundation is that it is a long lasting finish (25 hours according to the packaging). I can’t say that I’ve ever left it on my face for 25 whole hours, but it does definitely last all day while at work. This product contains a comfort serum, so it doesn’t feel like you’re wearing anything at all! I apply this foundation with a damp beauty blender and it goes on flawlessly.

COVERGIRL + Olay: Simply Age Less – this foundation is a really great foundation if you’re looking for fuller coverage and something to moisturize your skin while hiding any flaws (aka wrinkles). I love how easy this is to apply, I use the little sponge that comes with it in the case and it glides right on. The formula dries to a demi-matte finish. This formula also contains sunscreen, so you are getting a ton of benefits other than just a great looking foundation when you wear this.

Neutrogena: Healthy Skin Compact Makeup – this foundation creates a great light coverage makeup look. I love how healthy this foundation makes my skin feel both while and also after I wear it. This formula does not dry to a matte finish, it does stay a bit moist on the skin, but it does also contain sunscreen. I apply this with either the sponge it comes with or a foundation brush in order to get even coverage, since it is not a full-coverage foundation. I recommend this foundation for a more natural makeup look.

Revlon: Colorstay Whipped – this foundation is by far one of my favorites for a total glam look. This is truly a full coverage foundation. It is a cream/whipped formula, so I apply with a foundation brush and/or with a damp beauty blender to get an even application. This formula is another 24 hour formula, and it definitely does last all day. Another positive about this foundation is that it seems to do a great job of hiding my pores, which is always a great added bonus!

I’d love to hear your favorite drugstore foundation products! Share below in the comments!

Top Drugstore Eyebrow Products!

Hi everyone! Today it’s all about the brows here at A Glitter Girl’s Diary! Finding just the right eyebrow product can be difficult. I’ve sure tried my fair share of brow products and there are a few that I’ve come to like the best. So, keep reading to find out my picks for the top drugstore brow products.

PIXI by Petra: Mini Brow Trio in Shades of Brow. This is a great product for someone who may be just starting out with experimenting with brow products. The Mini Brow Trio is a small compact with 3 different shades that include a dark shade, a lighter shade, and a highlight shade. This is a powder product. It does not include a brush for application, but I like to use a small shadow brush to apply. I like that I can mix the two darker shades together to create just the right color for my brows and it includes the highlight shade for under the brow. It’s also not too expensive – it retails for about $6 and you can get it at Target.

e.l.f.: Eyebrow Kit in Medium. This product is one of my absolute favorites. As always with e.l.f. products, they are so incredibly affordable ($3 dollars at Target or Walmart). This Eyebrow Kit is another compact kit. It includes a double sided talkon brush that fits inside the compact. It’s a great little brush, one side is angled to define the arch and shape the brow, and the other end can be used to fill in the brow. The compact comes with two different products, a pigmented wax and a setting powder. There is even a little mirror in case you’re doing your brows on the go!

NYX: Auto Eyebrow Pencil in Medium Brown. This is a pencil product that goes on super smooth and is shaped perfectly for defining the brows. The color is super pigmented and it’s one of the best I’ve used as far as color richness. It’s a twist up pencil, so no sharpeners needed. The other end of the pencil has a built in brush that can be used to blend in the color and shape the brows the way you want. This product was around $5 at Target.

NYX: Micro Brow Pencil in Taupe. I love this product because it is very similar to the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz, which retails for about $21. I got my NYX Micro Brow pencil at Target for around $10. This is another twist up pencil. The tip of the pencil is super tiny and it’s great if you’re looking to draw in some extra hair lines and get a more precise fill. The other end of the pencil has a capped micro wand that allows you to blend the product into your brows and shape them as well.

Hard Candy: Brow Ink in Medium Dark. This product is much different from the others I have listed. It’s basically like mascara for your brows. This is a waterproof formula that lasts for up to 24 hours. It comes in a tube just like mascara with a tiny micro wand applicator. The formula is smooth and is actually just link ink – as the name suggests. If you’re looking to shape your brows and add some darker color, but not necessarily fill them in, then I highly recommend this product. You can get this for about $6 at Walmart.

N.Y.C.: Brow and Eyeliner Pencil in 902 Dark Brown. This product is my staple go-to OG brow product. I feel like I always come back to this and it’s a classic that I just love. This is a traditional pencil (that you need to sharpen). It comes in a pack of two and it’s NYC, so it’s incredibly inexpensive – I’m talking like $2 at most drug stores. I love this pencil, because I feel like it is great at filling in my brows, it isn’t waxy, and it looks total natural. For me, personally, the color of this pencil is identical to my hair color and blends so naturally it’s amazing.

So, that’s it! There are so many brow products on the market, I definitely continue to try new ones all the time. What drug store brow products do you love?
