hey all you beauties!!
So today's post is all about a new collab /series! I joined forces with my girl Ashlan (@beautysupplybeauty) to help bring you all our top five drugstore/ beauty supply finds that we just love to death and can't live without! Ash and I can both agree that as a whole, makeup can get a bit pricey especially if you're darker in skintone. A lot of times, the drugstore is not darker girl friendly, especially when it comes to foundation and concealer. So, if you're interested in my top 5 products, then just keep reading!
1) Cover Girl Ready Set Gorgeous foundation #320 Soft Sable-----this has become one of my favorites for quite some time! It has roughly medium coverage that is buildable, keeps me pretty matte and it's inexpensive. Plus, I'm a sicker for the squeeze tube packaging!! (around $7-8 at most drugstores)
2) Revlon Nearly Naked #290 Cappuccino----this one is a little more watery consistency , but it also delivers buildable coverage and a nice satin matte finish!! Plus it has SPF 20, so this would be bomb for the warmer months!! The only thing I would change is the packaging. I wish that it had a pump or was in a squeeze tube. (Around $8-10 at most drugstores, however they don't really sell the darker colors)
3) Maybelline Mineral Power Foundation Dark #3 "Cocoa"---- this was my ish for the longest time!! It has such a nice natural finish and is perfect for those 'no makeup' makeup days when you may still wanna wear foundation, but not feel weighed down. Like the Revlon Nearly Naked , there's SPF in this as well [SPF 18]. (around $7 in most drugstores)
4) L'Oreal Infallible Pro Matte #112 Cocoa----out of all my foundations , this one is the most mattifying and long wearing!! The coverage is bomb as well! The only issues I have with this product is the lack of color selection for darker skin tones [seriously, GET IT TOGETHER] & the heavy orange undertone upon application ($10-12 in most drugstores)
5) And the last of the Mohicans: L.A. Girl Pro HD Concealer [Dark Cocoa , Espresso, Chestnut, Toast]----literally everyone and their Great Aunt Mary been hyping this concealer up like no tomorrow, and I'm happy I finally jumped on the bandwagon. It gives such great coverage and its small size make it perfect for travel!! On days when I'm really crunched for time , I will pull this out and go to town on the uses. That's another thing I love: it's a multi use product. Aside from concealer, it can go as a foundation, eyeshadow base/primer, cream bronze, cream contour, color correction, you name it!! ($2-3 in local beauty supply stores, ikatehouse.com or the L.A. Girl website)
Honorable Mentions:
