Drugstore Makeup Haul



    Hey guys,

So I'm fairly excited about today's post as it is all about my latest "drugstore" haul!
All of the products were half price which made it even better value.

My purchases included: 
     - Maybelline Big Eyes Liner
     - Maybelline Matte Maker
     - Rimmel "Keep Calm" Lip Balm in Violet Blush and Berry Blush
     -  Maybelline Big Eyes Mascara 
     -  W7 Bronzer
     -  Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation
     - Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin Foundation
     - Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation
     - W7 Prime Magic Face Primer

Some of these products were new to try out, but others are good favorites of mine. Of the products I have not yet tried the Maybelline Big Eyes Liner, W7 Bronzer or the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation, however once tried and tested I will give my full review on these products. 
The other two foundations have become two of my most used foundations to date! The Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin has the best coverage and lasts forever! As suggested by the name it does actually improve the look of your skin, it is honestly my holy grail foundation right now. As for the Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation, I find that this is lighter compared to the Maybelline. It doesn't have as good of coverage but it is build able, it doesn't last as long as the Maybelline either but I find it more suited to days where I'm not going out all day or don't need that full coverage.
The Maybelline Matte Powder has also become a favorite of mine, it blends perfectly and provides a completely shine-free finish. The best part is, it lasts all day! 

The W7 primer, out of all, was probably the cheapest. It retails at $4.99. Admittedly, it is not the best primer I have used, but it is great for every day wear and is the best value. When I first purchased this primer I was a little surprised with the consistency as I was only ever used to using liquid primers, however this one is a little thicker which makes it great when smoothing out the complexion.

The final two products from my haul are the  Rimmel "Keep Calm" Lip Balm in Violet Blush and Berry Blush and the Maybelline Big Eyes Mascara.

For anyone who loves the Maybelline Baby Lips "Electro Pop" Lip Balms, you will love the Rimmel "Keep Calm" Lip Balms. They are similar in price and consistency, with the main difference being that Rimmel has slightly more colors in their range.

As for the Maybelline Big Eyes Mascara, I can see this becoming a new favorite! Unlike most mascara's, this one caters for both the top and bottom lashes, and comes in a duo. The top lashes are said to be made to look false whereas the bottom lashes are magnified. So far, I have only used this mascara one, but I am already taking a liking to it!


Of all the products tried and tested, I highly recommend all of them! They are all so affordable!

I hope you all enjoyed this post, I will be posting more very soon.
