Recently I have found some real gems in drugstores like Boots and Superdrug, for super saving prices. These include a variety of products and brands which have been a real money and skin saviour for me this summer.
One brand which I have been loving for their long lasting coverage and purse friendly price, is Superdrug's brand, MUA. I recently purchased the powdered blusher in the shade 'Cupcake' which lasts all day and applies so smoothly onto my cheeks leaving them blushed and rosy, and at only £1 how can you resist?! The next product from MUA which I have been loving is the 'undress your skin highlighter' in the shade 'gold'. I lighting apply this to my cheekbones, inner tear ducts and under my brow bone to brighten my skin and give it a subtle glow. At 3 for a large pressed powder is a true bargain as you only need a tiny amount, meaning it will last a lifetime.
My next fav, is the 2true 3 in 1 concealer in shade '1', which is the perfect contouring and blemish disguising weapon. Every product in the range is £1.99, and applies quite thickly, so you need to be careful to prevent any caking, however it is perfect for a lasting coverage.
Another bargain beauty weapon is the Collection 2000 lip butter in 'vintage rose (shade 3)'. Not only does it act as a lip balm, but also as a long wearing lip stick which doesn't leave the flaky residue many lipsticks appear to leave. I find it very difficult to find a lip product which does last for a reasonably long time and stay looking fresh and smooth, however this product is perfect for a long lasting finish, and comes in a variety of shades to suit any mood and style.
Rimmel London has recently brought out a new mascara which contains argan oil to lock in the natural oils and moisture your lashes need to provide a healthy thickness and length. The brush is fairly soft and provides zero clumping to leave your lashes with a glamorous clump-free finish, whilst adding dramatic volume and length with only a few strokes needed. This really is the new 'hot' mascara of the season.
Another Rimmel London product I am really enjoying is the 'wake me up' foundation. It has a slight glimmery finish to give you the brightness and appearance of a healthy glow, with very minimal amounts needed. It comes in various shades to suit all skin types, however it can become a little shiny as the day progresses so a slight puff of powder is needed, and if you have naturally oily skin, I wouldn't recommend this product to be suitable for you. However due to having very dry skin myself, it gives me a natural shimmer and the moisture my skin needs, whilst giving a flawless finish. I apply this product with my life saver foundation brush the Real Techniques 'stippling brush'. I love every brush from the collection, however find the stippling brush to give the best flawless and photo finish appearance after use and it gives an even application all over when applying foundation. I cannot praise enough the Real Technique brushes, but once you use one, you will never go back!
Hope this has given you some inspo of the purse friendly drugstore products which I am personally loving this summer to give me the perfect flawless make-up look.
