And I'm sharing 5 of them that I have purchased over and over (trust me, there are WAY more than 5) today. This is a collab with Katie from FromMyVanity, so be sure to check out HER 5!
SinfulColors Nail Polish
- I'm a bit of nail polish fanatic, and this is one of my fave drugstore polish brands. They're inexpensive, they come out with collections often, and you can find them in lots of stores.
- I've been a fan of this gentle highlighter for ages, back when it was called Acapulco Glow, and it was the first one I ever purchased.
- I tend to use this most often as a mixer to my foundation or bb cream to make my own luminizer.
- Speaking of bb cream, this is one of my faves and I've purchased it several times. If you have dry skin, give this a try. Perfect for those days when I want to keep it light.
- One of my fave mascaras for lengthening--huge L'Oreal mascara fan!
- I have at least a dozen of these, in a couple of different finishes. I love the shades, I love the scent (What?), and one of my fave shades is Nude Creme (Kristen is a fan, too).
And here's a quick video of me talking about each item--does my voice sound like you thought it would?

What are your fave drugstore beauty buys?
Extra Elle:
- I woke up with a weepy, burning eye yesterday. Light would bother it, so I wore the girls' eye patch from their pirate dress up kit. When the 5 year old saw me, she didn't bat an eye. I asked her if I looked silly, she said yes, but that I'm always silly.
- There's a $500 Nordstrom giveaway if you'd like to enter. Click here.
I finally found Milani around here, and I'm so happy! The lipsticks are da bomb! And I feel I must really get that Telescopic mascara:D
ReplyDeletePS Garnier BB creams are also awesome so I concur:) I found this through you, and so happy I did.
I love the Milani brand. I first tried their nail polish years ago but then forget about them for a while. I'm going to have to check out their lipstick selections!
ReplyDeleteAw I hope your eye feels better! I love these posts! Sinful polish is the best and you can't beat the price! I need to try that mascara too!

This was such a fun collab to do with you, Elle, thanks! It's fun to see what are the products that we continually go back to, even with all the brands continually coming out with new stuff. :-) I haven't tried that Cabana highlighter, but now I need to! :-) Especially considering its so affordable
ReplyDeleteGreat products and review!
ReplyDeleteGarnier BB creams are very good!

Yaas! I want to try Reserve Your Cabana! I primarily shop drugstore, but when it comes to mascara and highlighters I typically head to Sephora!

I love that bb cream too!! And hope your eye feels better!! Gotta love kids!!
ReplyDeleteI love how cheap that nail polish is - I am always picking up a new color when I come through Walgreens :)
ReplyDeleteI've used that Garnier BB cream before and loved it! I might have to go back to it when my Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer runs out - you can't beat the price!

I just bought a new BB cream and I don't really like it :( I may need to try the Garnier next time. I had been using maybelline for the last year and really liked their BB cream.
ReplyDeleteAlso another good BB cream is the TARTE one as well. I have the Garnier one but the original I got the original but I should have got the oil-control one, the original tends to slide/melt. Sin full color nail polish are my favourite even thought we don't have the in Canada any more because we don't have Target any more. L'oreal mascara are great haven't tried this one its on my list to try though. What a great post !!

I've heard so many good things about the mascara! I've got to try it at some point. x
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting a BB cream! I don't really need it, so it's definitely something I'd want to get at the drugstore. (I bought one before, but it turned out to be waaay too dark for me.) I saw Kristen talking about that nude creme Milani lipstick and now that you mention it too I feel like I need it! I don't know if I've seen them in stores before.
ReplyDeleteI love good drugstore buys. It is great when you find a nice product at a bargain price.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to buy Telescopic mascara as soon as I am done with at least 4 out of the 10 that I have in rotation now. So many bloggers recommended it and now you too so it's a must buy for sure!

Great drugstore picks! I just picked up my first Milani lipstick, and I can understand why everybody loves them so much. Also, that highlighter looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI always think that garnier delivers pretty well!
ReplyDeleteI love love love the Milani lippies- such a good product for the price!

I have the Nude Creme as well, such a good neutral color. I haven't tried Garnier's BB creme will have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteI'm a drugstore makeup lover too, and these are great picks! I bought the Sinful Colors polish for the first time recently and was impressed with the quality for the price! Also, I'll have to try the telescopic mascara!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these Elle. You know I love drugstore makeup. I have heard your voice before in one of your videos. I never really had thought about how you would sound though. The telescopic mascara must be mine!
ReplyDeleteI love love love Milani!!! I just wish it was easier to find around here. Only one CVS carries it here. Drives me crazy! I will have to check out that BB Cream! And I am with you on being a fan of Loreal mascaras.
ReplyDeleteI could spend a small fortune on drugstore makeup. I love long walks down the drugstore aisles too! I have and love the wet n wild highlight as well. I haven't tried any Milani lip products before but I always hear good things about them.
ReplyDeleteI need to go to drugstores more often!
ReplyDeleteI have come to love drugstore makeup too. Telescopic mascara is hands down my favorite mascara!
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting you like that BB cream! I'm using it at the moment and I really don't like it, I find it too heavy! I prefer my normal one, but this one was on special so I decided to give it a go again in case it had changed from the last time I used it. Nope! haha!

I really like L'oreal mascaras too and Covergirl ones as well. I tend towards drugstore mascaras since they have to be discarded every 3 months.
ReplyDeleteRowena @ rolala loves
I love sinful colors!! That red is gorgeous! And I always hear BB cream is amazing, I love your reviews :) Is there a other highlighters you would recommend? I want to look into a few different ones, I just don't really know of other good ones (besides the one you just wrote about)

I hope you're eye is feeling better soon! I went to Sephora yesterday and the whole time I kept thinking that I need to get out of there and look at your blog to see your picks! Thanks for sharing your drugstore favorites.
ReplyDeletei can spend hours at the drugstore. milani nude creme is a fave of mine, too.
ReplyDeleteI tend to spend more time browsing in the drug store than I do at Sephora, because I know I can get more for the buck! :) I need to check out the Wet N Wild highlight! I need to watch your video later when I know I can hear it over my kids! ha!

The drugstore is relaxing to me. I just have to control my spending!
ReplyDeleteWe've talked about Sinful Colors before. I love them for their price and for trying trendy colors.
That BB Cream sounds nice. I'll have to check it out next time I'm enjoying a long walk down the drugstore aisle lol.
ReplyDeleteI love buying Sinful Colors nail polish! They have so many choices! And Loreal really does have awesome mascara!
ReplyDeleteI have to check out the BB cream! I have never found one worth spending the money on, and my skin is so dry. Thank you for the rec!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the garner bb cream =]

Love the video! You look so gorgeous! I've purchased that brand of nail polish before but I love the color you recommended for Fall. I've tried so many expensive mascaras and always go back to Maybelline's Falsies as my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI'm also a huge fan of sinful nail polish. I hope your eye feels better soon.

I already left comments on your video. (; So I don't sound repetitive, let me say that I own a ton of Sinful colors polishes and they always exceed my expectations! (: They make great gifts too!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Elle! I would love to hear about more of your favorites in each category (like eyeshadow, , foundation,etc,) in both drugstore and higher end brands. :)
ReplyDeleteLoved your favorites, I am a big fan of Sinful colors too. Also love wet n wild lipsticks too.

I haven't tried the malani lipstick. What colors do you recommend?
ReplyDeleteemilymaiko.blogspot.com
I've heard GREAT things about Milani but surprisingly I've never actually bought any of their stuff.
ReplyDeleteIt seems I need to take a trip to the drugstore! I actually haven't been in a while because I get lots of goodies from Ipsy, but the Telescopic Mascara sounds so good!
ReplyDelete~Sara
Love that brand of polish and I use that Garnier BB cream! Yay! I feel like a total boss. Great post :)
ReplyDeleteI purchased that WNW Cabana highlighter and have to say it is one of the best for fair skin. I use it all year around. It did crack on me but can't expect too much for 3 bucks lol
ReplyDeleteAlso, on a random note... did you dye your hair? Looks darker to me.
