A Few Drugstore Goodies


Hello everyone, hope all is well. I woke up Sunday morning and realized I had completely run out of facial cleanser and was running dangerously low on moisturizer. (Living in walking distance of a Walgreens is not beneficial to my wallet.) I picked up the Simple Moisturizing Facial Wash, priced at $7.99, I thought I would try it since it claims to be the UK's best selling skincare line.  I also picked up the Garnier Nutritioniste Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel Cream, I really love this moisturizer, I'm on my fourth jar.

Along with the skincare products I thought I would also get some Maybelline products since they were buy one, get one 50% off.


I got the Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner Pen in Black (costs around $7-8). I've used it yesterday and this morning and I really like it so far, it's incredibly black. My only complaint is that the tip it a bit too flexible. Will be doing a review soon.


I also got the Maybelline Master Shape Eyebrow Pencil in Soft Brown (costs around $7-8). On one end it the eyebrow color and on the other end is the brow brush. The bristles on the brush is shorter than your average brow brush, but I find that it works better. Review also coming soon.


I also picked up the Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm (around $4-5) in the color Cherry Me which gives a sheer cherry (obviously) color on the lips. It's nice and smooth, moisturizing and light on the lips, everything I look for in a lip balm. I'm not sure if each lip balm has an individual scent or not, but this one smells *ah-mazing*  like cherry fruit punch. The spf 20 is also a plus.


As you may or may not know already, I'm a sucker for cream eyeshadows. I planned on getting the Color Tattoo eyeshadows (around $6-7) a lot earlier but in my Walgreens they were hidden away at the very top shelf of the Maybelline section that me and my 5'2 frame could not see or reach. The only color I really wanted the most was Bad to the Bronze, but seeing as how amazing they are I might pick up a few more in the future. They're creamy, pigmented, affordable and last amazingly without primer.

Goodbye everyone, I hope your having/had a lovely day!
