Hey guys, so this is basically the "I <3 Drugstore Makeup Tag" that's been going around YouTube ,and since some of us don't have a YouTube channel (like me, at least ,I don't have one YET lol) I thought it'd be cool to just write it all here ,since this IS a beauty oriented app/webpage (: so I'm jut going to answer all the questions below, and you guys can answer the questions in a comment (:

Questions:
1. What is your favorite drugstore makeup
brand?
This is a hard one, sinceI like so many, but right now ,probably Covergirl (:
2. What are your favorite face, cheek and lip
products?
Face : Covergirl Natureluxe Foundation
Cheek : Revlon Photoready Cream Blush
Lip : Revlon Lip Butter
3. Least favorite product?
L'Oreal True Match Foundation ;I know lots of people like it, but it was a little too drying for me (super dry skin here lol) & it oxidized after a couple of hours...I like the newer one better, the True Match Lumi?
4. What is the best makeup bargain?
hmm ,probably all the Wet&Wild eyeshadows, blushes, lipsticks, and eye/brow pencils bc they're jut so pigmented and the pencils are super creamy and true to color. The NYC Smooth Skin Bronzer in Sunny is also amazing, I just recently got it, and it's great fir contouring ,plus it's a great dupe for Benefit Hoola Bronzer, which is ny HG bronzer so,
5. What is your favorite underdog product?
(Something you love that often gets overlooked?)
Probably the Wet&Wild Mega Plush Macara, because I haven't really heard people talking about it, but I tried out my friend's a week ago, and I just HAD to get my own ,because it's just amazing.it volumizes like it says but it lengthens & adds curl too <3
6. A drugstore product that is overpriced?
this isn't so much a product as much as a brand, but honestly I feel like the Physician's Formula products are all kinda overpriced, I men I love them ,but for example I have the Happy Booster Mood & Glow Boosting Blush ,and it was about $12 ,which is basically the price of a foundation. that's pretty expensive for a drugstore blush, but I do think that PF has really nice packaging and good quality products.however, there are other brands with great quality products that are less expensive
7. Show your best drugstore dupe (s)!!
NYC Smooth Skin Bronzer in Sunny = Benefit Hoola Bronzer
L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Iced Latte = Stila Kitten
Revlon Lipstick in Pink Pout = MAC Snob
ELF lipstick in Natural Nymph = MAC Creme D'Nude
Wet&Wild Penny Eyeshadow = MAC in Bold N Brazen
8. Drugstore product that isn't worth the hype?
Honestly ,I feel like the Revlon Colorstay Foundation isn't actually that amazing. it's OKAY ,but I just don't agree with all the hype around it. it dries since quickly ,so you barely have any time to blend it in,and maybe I just got a bad one, but it seems to look cakey no matter how little I put on.. plus it can get kindaa pricey, depending on where you buy it... let me know what you guys think of this foundation below ,and if I should give it another try?

okay, so just post your answers to the questions in this tag down below in a comment because I'd LOVE to know your opinions!! (:

1. Maybelline
2. Maybelline Bb Cream and the Maybelline bouncy blush
3. Cover girl true mineral makeup
4. The best bargain is elf which you can find at target! It is cheap but they mimick expensive brands like urban decay
5. It would have to be my NYX eye glitter!!
6. I think that drugstore prices are pretty good overall!
7. Elf eyeshadow palette = urban decay
8. I think that drugstore mineral makeups are not worth it. They do a bad time of covering and are very uneven!
