When it comes to drugstore essentials Lauryn Evarts from The Skinny Confidential said it best. “There is something therapeutic about roaming the drugstore aisles looking for absolutely nothing, but finding everything.”
I am the first person to love a brand name product but don’t be mistaken, if I can find the same thing with equally clean ingredients at quarter the price… I will be buying that instead. (Duh). Smart shopping is key 🔑
This post is going to cover a few every day necessities that you can buy from your local drugstore. P.S. Don’t forget to share! Thank you. 🙂

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
Alright. Item #1 on the drugstore essentials list happens to be my favorite product on the planet: mascara. It is very important to note that I am a psycho about my eyelashes. If you read my post How To Get Long Eyelashes you will already know I LOVE long, thick, clean looking lashes. I have tried a hundred different mascaras to find the best of the best and every time people are so shocked when they hear my mascara is under $7 from a drug store (or amazon).
Trust me I have tried all the name brand popular bottles (Better Than Sex, BANG Lash, They’re Real). Don’t get me wrong, yes. These are good… but I can honestly say, price point aside, Maybelline wins by a long shot.
BABYLIPS – Shade: Coral Crave
This stuff has been my favorite lip balm for YEARS. I mean, I was using this shade of Babylips all the way back to Sophomore year High School… talk about loyal. I love a natural lip look so when it comes to lip gloss and lipstick I am super picky. While I like a bold red or pink, I am not the kind of person who would rock is casually at the grocery store or even the office for that matter. That Is why I love tinted chapstick. It gives you a pinch of color without overpowering your face, while moisturizing your lips which I’m all about.
Yes To Cucumber Mud Mask
This Cucumber Cooling mask is one of my favorites for a quick face refresher. I have written about this mask before in my 5 Star Beauty Products From Amazon Prime post!! I love this one because the tube is great for even distribution. I use this cucumber mask year round but I will say, it is my all time favorite for after I was in the sun all day. It really soothes the skin and replenishes it. This mask is definitely a favorite!
Nude NYX Eyeshadow
Have you ever bought an eye shadow pallet JUST for 1 or 2 colors in it?! Not a proud moment, but I am guilty of this on several accounts. You drop $60+ because you love a few shades, those shades run out fast and you are stuck with a practically brand new pallet sitting in your drawer for years to come because you don’t have the heart to throw it out.
Solution? Start buying eyeshadow singles. While MAC carries some great options… NYX is an amazing dupe!!! These have great pigmentation for the price and you get a good size that last a while. This shade is my favorite nude. I wear it as an eye brightener for a natural eye.
