Top 10 Drugstore Beauty Products Makeup Artists Swear By

When planning your upcoming wedding we know that every penny counts! Sticking to a budget can be tough as there are sometimes unexpected costs that catch us by surprise and so making savvy saving decisions throughout the year ahead can help your bottom line and still have you looking flawless on your big day. I mean we can’t put a price on beauty but we will smile so much brighter (AND WHITER 😉 knowing you look slick and chic on your wedding day without breaking the bank! The best thing about Drugstore beauty buys is that they always have sales like Buy 1 get 2nd one 50% off! So you buy more save more! Lol

I have so many more… however, I squeezed this list into a Top 10 (no particular order)

  1. L’OREAL VOLUMINOUS WASHABLE MASCARA CARBON BLACK 335  – This is my go-to mascara PERIOD! I love the black formula and the brush is my favourite by far. Mascara is all about the brush and this one deliver’s a perfect coat.
  2. ARDELL 110 LASHES – these lashes work on EVERY eye. They are not too thick and not too long. They look like yours but better!
  3. GARNIER MICELLAR WIPES (PINK PACKET) – My absolute favourite when it comes to makeup removal. The wipes are super soft and gentle and remove even the toughest waterproof makeup with ease!
  4. SOKO SHEET MASKS – I have blogged on these before! South Korean Sheet Masks for your face. OBSESSION! You will walk away hydrated and with the softest skin to apply your makeup on with ease! Starts around $2.00 whaaaaaaaat???!
  5. FELT TIP EYELINER L’Oreal Infallible The Super Slim Liner – This precision liner is superb for the blackest black line that with last all day and all night! If you think it’s too severe-soften the edges with a little shadow and VOILA! A totally sexy smoky line!
  6. ALMAY BEST BLEND FOREVER FOUNDATION – Loving this product for Spring / Summer weddings! With an SPF 40+ and 12 shades to suit most, this hydrating formula has the coverage of a foundation and the hydration of a tinted moisturizer.
  7. CREST 3D WHITE BRILLIANCE DAILY WHITENING SYSTEM– Your smile is EVERYTHING on your big day but can be expensive to have your teeth professionally whitened. There actually are many good products in this category in the drugstores, I prefer the 3D Crest White Brilliance daily Whitening system. You will see a significant difference in the first use!
  8. NEUTROGENA SUNSCREEN WITH HELIOPLEX – This is the best anti-aging formula sold in stores anywhere! Sunscreen saves your skin from sun damage and should be the first product you apply daily.
  9. VITAMINS-MULTIVITAMIN – ALIVE Women’s energy more specifically. A good multivitamin will help you glow and grow your hair and nails. With today’s nutritional imbalances with too much fast food and not enough sleep, this will keep you feeling in top shape and ready for wedding planning!
  10. L’OREAL ELNET UNSCENTED HAIRSPRAY –  I love the “Unscented” version of this cult beauty product. A staple backstage at fashion weeks all around the world, this product gives weightless hold and grip to your style that lasts!
