Drugstore Makeup Haul ✨🍋

As much as I love my high end makeup, this year I'm going to save money by utilizing brands that are equally as good but at a fraction of the cost. Milani is one of those brands for sure. I also grabbed some OG essentials like Maybelline eyeliners and a few things from Elf. What's your favorite drugstore cosmetic?! #cheapvsexpensivemakeup #inexpensivemakeup #affordablemakeuproutine #drugstore makeup 💌 Brand: Milani

2025/1/3 Edited to

... Read moreWhen looking for affordable makeup options, drugstore brands have become increasingly competitive with high-end options. Milani continues to stand out for its quality and vibrant colors that cater to various skin tones. Additionally, Maybelline offers reliable eyeliners that glide on smoothly, making them a favorite for many beauty enthusiasts. Some other noteworthy drugstore brands include L'Oreal, Revlon, and NYX, all of which provide a wide range of products from foundations to lipsticks at budget-friendly prices. With the increasing trend of 'cheap vs. expensive makeup,' exploring drugstore alternatives can not only save you money but also help you discover new favorites. Don't forget to check online reviews and swatches to find products that are highly rated and suit your personal style. Many beauty influencers also share their drugstore recommendations, making it easier to navigate the market. Lastly, participating in forums like #inexpensivemakeup can help you connect with others who share your passion for affordable beauty products.

A hand holds three makeup pencils in a store aisle, with text overlay "Buy or bye Walmart Edition" and decorative flames, butterflies, and rainbow hearts.
A hand holds a white and yellow box for a sunscreen and makeup primer, rated as a 'BUY' for being unnoticeable, working well under makeup, giving a glow, and evening out skin.
A hand holds a light blue box for an eye cream, rated as a 'BYE' because it does nothing and a cheaper alternative is suggested as better.

These are just my opinions. I have tried so many different drug store products and the buy ones are my daily users. I also rely on them for an accurate product review! For reference I am a very oily girl in the T zone and dry everywhere else. I cannot stand when my makeup separates so these are my
