Hey loves, When I first started out doing makeup I was either in middle school or had just gotten into High School. I was broke and I hated asking my parents for money. I would end up saving any money I would get for birthdays or Eid and spend it all on Makeup! Looking back, I think to myself, Man, who did I think I was? I mean did I think I looked cute?
Since then, I have been blessed to be able to buy high end products and understand how to use it. Nonetheless, I still have much love for drugstore makeup. I would have to say that the Products at the drugstore have significantly improved and are really top quality. Along the way, I have found some amazing products I swear by that work just as good as High end makeup. I decided I would put you guys on to them!
Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

This beauty sponge is one of the best beauty sponges I have ever tried! A lot of people compare it to the beauty blender and I can see why, the sponge is very soft when it is wet and blends products beautifully. I prefer this over the original beauty blender. The Unique shape also gives it the opportunity to use it for different things without mixing all the products together.
Wet N Wild Color Icon Blush

The Wet N Wild Blushes are one of my all time favorites! They have a good amount of pigment and they come in a variety of colors. The best part is they are less than $7 and have a good pan size. This is how they use to look back in the day but there is a possiblity they have changed the packaging since then.
E.L.F. Instant Lift Brow Pencil

This is my favorite Brow pencil. It is super affordable and work just as good with my higher end products. It cost less than $5 and it was actually the first brow product I ever brought. I think for the price it is a steal! The only issue I would say is that after a but it looses its pointy tip and becomes dull but it is definitely still workable!
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer
https://rstyle.me/+Cp2Jhpd82BaUQgwxmoQXJA
I think this was the very first concealer I used. Granted it was super light for my skin because they only had one or two shades when it came out. I remember seeing Kaushal Beauty using it and I just knew I had to get it! They have expanded their shade range quite a bit since it initially launched years ago. I would definitely give it a try! The application is definitely my favorite I have used in terms of concealer applicators.
L’Oreal Voluminous Original Mascara
https://rstyle.me/+kUkyEaBWOL7__AZ0rxk6Vw
This is actually my favorite mascara to date! I have tried countless brands, both high and low yet nothing can beat the look and price of this mascara. L’oreal makes one of the best drugstore mascaras. I reccomend this mascara to everyone… Like everyone! It is one of the best and you will not be disappointed!
Welp those were my drugstore Hidden Gems! They are all under $10 and are some of the best products I have ever tried. Definitely let me know if you try any of these out. Also, tell me what are your favorite drugstore products, that way I can test them out and discover some other products!
