My Favorite Drugstore Beauty Products!

Hello Divas!

I hope your day is truly Fantabulous! It is gorgeous in Atlanta. The luxe kids and I were out all day yesterday. So today is another day on the scene! Woot!

Last week I was asked by Concierge PR to recommend beauty products for the Dress To Remember Event. This event was sponsored by Dress for Success and Concierge PR. The purpose of this event was to provide gently used prom dresses, mini-makeovers, and goody bags for Atlanta Public School teenagers in need. The products I recommended were included in the goody bag. Of course, I only recommended the best drugstore brand products..that I use. Here they are:

1. Covergirl Lashblast Mascara. I know I have blogged about this mascara before but it is my current go to mascara. Love!

2. Black Opal Foundation sticks and concealers. Black Opal is a GREAT bargain foundation. It goes only smoothly and completely covers blemishes. Plus the range of colors compliment women of color beautifully.

3. Loreal Hip Color Presso Duo lip shades and eye shadows! I love Loreal's Hip line. I compare it to MAC but on a budget. The colors are intense and very rich. I love the duo lip gloss. You get two shades for one price. You can layer the shades or use one at a time. The eye shadows are pretty fab too. They have purples, golds, greens, etc.

4. Revlon A Floral Affair Blush. These blushes contain 3 colors that you can blend together or use separately. I use one color as a blush and another color as a highlighter. In addition, the color ranges are great for all skin tones. Great product!

5. Wet n Wild's cream and powder bronzers. Awesome products. The Megaglow Illumnizing bronzer is my all time fav drugstore bronzer! Wet n' Wild bronzers come in several shades for different skin tones and they are only $2.99! Can't beat it.

6. Milani lip liners. These lip liners are creamy and retractable! I love that! Plus they come in a wide range of shades and they are only $3.50!


I hope the young ladies enjoy these products. I use all of these products several times a week. Beauty does not have to break the bank!

What are your favorite drugstore brands?

Toodles!

Milani Easyliner Lip Liner in Dark Coffee

Hello Divas!

I hope you are having a Fantabulous day! It is overcast in Atlanta..but I still feel awesome! Last week I lost my MAC Chesnut Lip pencil. If you have been reading this blog, you know it is my absolute fav lip liner and it is the only lip liner I use. So you can imagine my devastation when I could not find it. Unfortunately, it was fairly new so I have been a bit reluctant to go purchase a new one. They are $15.00 a pop! Well while in Target last night, I decided to find a good dupe of my beloved MAC lip pencil to get me through the week ........until I get to the MAC counter. Well I have found the PERFECT dupe! Milani Easyliner Lip Liner in Dark Coffee looks exactly like my MAC Chesnut lip liner. It is the same dark brown color with just a hint of burgandy. And as an added plus, the lip liner is very creamy. It glides on like a dream. In addition, the pencil comes with a retractable tip! Imagine that! Of course the best thing about this lip liner is that it is only.....$3.49!! You can purchase it online here or at any Target or CVS. At this price, it may permanently replace my MAC lip pencil...mmmmm.

Toodles!
