When Nyx started becoming available at Target, I wanted to cry!
I love their eyeshadow duos, which have 9 small pans in one, and they're about $10
Coconut oil for removing makeup and moisturizing
ELF blush sets. There's four different blushes in one container
Revlon colorstay lipstick, which is what I've been using forever. It's a liquid-to-matte formula that comes with a clear gloss you can put over it. I know these lipsticks are the trend now, but the Revlon ones are some of the best ever
Got 2 B Freeze Spray. I had a mohawk and this was the only thing that worked on it. Put in on and your hair will not budge
Milani blushes

The Elf blush sets Yes Yes Yes I love mine. I have the dark set and the deep red is comparable to Nars Blush in Exhibit A that cost $30

I've seen ELF at WalMart, cvs, and I think Walgreens. And check their website! They do sales all the time.

Also thanks to all of you for your posts, my very generous MIL is giving me an ulta gift card for my birthday and I swear I'm going to just go in there with a grocery cart and load that mofo up with shit you guys have recommended. Seriously. All of the makeup's. All of it forever.

Target is my no. 1 spot for elf. I feel the same way about Milani products. I have to hunt their stuff down. But at this point the amount of gas wasted I may as well order online. I pray for the day that they have elf and milani counters. Not just pop ups. Hopefully at the new spot my local drug stores will be on point.

I still like to stock up on my elf stuff when they have the 50% pro line sales. Although since they've been expanding I haven't seen as many of the sales.

Milani really is a I hope they have it in stock game. I'm very happy with their nail polishes. I've gotten tons of compliments on my blood red nails this past week.

I love Yes to Tomatoes Detoxifying Charcoal Cleanser and Yes to Coconut Cleansing Wipes. Good routine for acne prone skin. Also Physicians Formulas Eye Boost Instant Lash Extensions Kit makes false eyelashes unnecessary. You just have to make sure to shake off the fiber brush really well before you use it otherwise the fibers will get in your eyes and it will hurt.

Just got some nyx matte lip cream on sale at Target.

Goes on pretty well and feels normal. So I give it a thumbs up.

I've fallen in love with lumene's vitamin c bb cream. Great coverage and it stays in place even when I'm sweating my balls off in unbelievable Florida humidity. Only fifteen bucks and I've gotten compliments on how good I look every time I wear it.

Oh I forgot to mention I also looove La Roche-Posay Effaclar H as well. My dermatologist recommended the multi-compensating soothing moisturizer and it's the best I've ever used. It's veeery moisturizing for people who have oily/combination skin without making you look shiny.

I am currently on my 4th month taking and this moisturizer really make a difference. My skin never looked so beautiful before and you can barely notice the dryness. Last week I ran out of it, tried putting on 4 coats of Clinique moisturizer and it did not help at all. My skin was itchy and so dry you could see all the dead skin, it was awful. I am sooo happy this cream exists and will try more products from that brand in the future.

oh yeah, I also take Accutane from a local drug store for that condition and it also helps me a lot! As you, really happy with this product. But I also purchase some hair health products and the rest, as needed.

The nyx HD blushes are great. I also use just loose powder from the drugstore, I cant get myself to spend $40 on just powder lol. Also some elf brushes are good but dont last too long and i love the eco tools duo eyeshadow brushes. real techniques brushes are great. almost everything else is high end but theres some stuff in my opinion that there is no reason to spend lots of money on.

My current obsessions:
NYC
my fav eyeliner
https://www.newyorkcolor.com/us/makeup/liquid-eyeliner#887-black
I bought a blush and it does look good on cheeks but i tried it as a contour and it did the job perfectly! I'm pale and my shadows are looking almost grey.
https://www.newyorkcolor.com/us/makeup/cheek-glow-powder-blush
their 1$ nailpolishes are very good, color selection is good too.
lips sticks are good! they have very gentle smell, but they do not stink! prices are very cheap. 1$ is so good. i bought 3 lipsticks from wet n wilf they were nasty in my opinion, colors are not deep enough, they even tingle my lips, i felt like i ate a cold soup and all that fat was on my lips lol
Setting colorless powder affordable and does the job.
i did not like bb cream, liquid foundation it was good but color selection isnt big if you are too fair or too dark would not work.
they need lip liner, wet n wild also need them.
i got most of my stuff at walmart but not every walmart has it. also i bought some at target
hm looks like they got some https://www.newyorkcolor.com/us/makeup/automatic-lip-liner#836-naughty-nude

Don't they sell ELF at Old Navy? I am sure a lot of you girls don't shop there but I shop there a lot for my nieces and nephews and I am almost positive. Their jewelry is really cute too.

Cerave PM lotion, Shea Moisture hair products, L'Oreal hair products, Herbal Essence conditioners, and Real Technique brushes. When it comes to skincare, drugstore has been disappointing, but hair products are pretty good.

Makeup... I use Esqido eyelashes outside the club (though I use KISS for stripping), Kat Von D eyeliner, but $1 lipstick and nail polish from the dollar store (LA Colors).

NYX and Target are becoming my favorite/go-to.

Liquid Suede lipstick... goes on with a wand and it can stain so be super careful not to fuck up... but this stuff lasts an entire 5 hour shift. It's insane. It was on clearance at Target for like $4. The Kitten Heels shade is the best true red (no orange tint) that I've ever gotten.

Their setting spray is great. My eyeliner that usually gets fucked up and smudged will stay on most of a shift with the spray. $8 at Target.

The cream lipsticks are lovely. I wear the Violet Ray shade almost every day outside work. They're about $5.

I have seen ELF at Old Navy. Wal Mart is upping the amount of ELF they stock (they have strict policies on how they allow vendors to keep supplying them so obviously the products are selling well.)

I'm getting more familiar with NYX, MUA and random budget brands. I go through more makeup now that I'm older so I'm thrilled there are more high quality budget brands. When I was a teenager a lot of of "drugstore brands" were chalky, had horrible color options or smelled rank. Thank dog for technology & a competitive market lol

I've probably said this before, but literally all of my makeup is drugstore except liquid lipsticks because there's only so many colors available at the drugstore and I've only found one good drugstore brand. I end up buying all my makeup at Walgreens or CVS out of convenience, and end up liking what I buy. So it's a win-win because I spend less and have convenient products I love. I often restock via Amazon because it's so cheap on that site. Literally everything is like $3-$6 versus $5-$12 in stores.

As far a skincare goes, I literally get all my stuff from either sallys (oils, scrubs, masks) or natural grocery stores (lotions, oils), and again mostly out of convenience. I end up with cheaper products that I like, that are also high quality. And those are usually on Amazon for cheaper, too.

I really don't know how I pull this off, but I suggest everyone try it if you want to save money.

Garnier's Micellar Cleansing Water!

It's the bomb! I remove my makeup with a wipe and then I go over my face with cotton balls and the micellar water. It removes every trace of makeup. It's scary how much it picks up - there have been times where I'm looking in the mirror at what seems to be a bare face but somehow the water is still picking up makeup. It makes me think about how many times I thought I was going to bed with a fresh face but still had traces of makeup lingering behind...

My favorite.

I sweeeeear some of the best products out there are cheap drugstore ones. The only things I'll pay extra for are cute packaging or high quality materials without chemicals

I'm currently using Garnier micellar water in the blue cap for makeup removal. Gets off even my really stubborn eye makeup without after just holding a soaked cotton pad in place for a moment and swiping. I used to use grapeseed oil, but the messiness of it really got to me and I had to always wash my face afterwards. I don't need to after using the micellar water.

I just bought these lashes by Elf and wore them for the first time today.
I've got to say, out of all the false eyelashes I've ever tried, these are the most comfortable.
I never knew I was wearing them, ( and I had them on all day too). I got lots of positive looks from people everywhere I went.

Milani 3 n 1 foundation is pretty good. Got it from Walmart for 8 dollars. It overs well and I Found the perfect shade for my genrally hard to match skin. I think you need powder oily areas.

I now love those Roc ckeansing/exfoliating pads. Ulta has them at a good price and with an ulta coupon, the price is even better! The pads are doing a good job, and I'm only on day 3.

A girl I know suggested Loreal Eyelash Primer. Apply, curl lashes, then apply mascara. ( Honestly, I've never even heard of a primer for lashes).
Magical!
Looks better than wearing false eyelashes!

Bioderma Hydrabio Micellar water (even better than Garnier)
Avene light moisturizer for summer, moisture serum for winter.
Ardell Lashes
Garnier 3pack moisture mask
Maybeline liquid eyeliner
Cover FX blush (really bright pigment that you can still "see" in the dark- important for pasty girls.
NYX lipstick (really bright fun colours)
That's literally the whole routine! I've been getting lots of compliments on the natural look!
