Hola Kinks!
Recently I did a post on my favorite MAC products, as much as I use MAC & other high end products I use a lot of drug store ones as well. I am thinking of starting a top 5 series for all categories, if you like that idea leave a comment or email me. I don't love all drug store brands but I have a few I will purchase from over & over. I love a MAC lipstick but sometimes I just want something cheap I can carry in my purse & not worry I will ruin it.
What I love about drug store brands is that you can find great quality products for a even better price. If you have been following KCM for a while you know I have my drug store hauling series.

1. Milani Eyeshadow Primer - I have owned and purchased several different eyeshadow primers including the coveted Urban Decay Primer Potion. I personally like Milani's version better, my eyeshadows stay vibrant longer with no creasing ever. Not only is this primer amazing but it is extremely affordable priced at $5.99 but you can always find a sale in most local drug stores. With Milani's eyeshadow primer a little goes a long way so the 0.3 fl oz tube will last you a long time.
You can buy the Milani Eyeshadow primer at your local drug store or online

2. Milani Easy Brow Mechanical Pencil - OMG this product is everything, I own this pencil in both Dark Brown & Taupe. I didn't know anything about how to fill in my eyebrows until I found this product. Milani's pencil glides on so easy because of its creamy texture. These pencils go for $7.49 for .01 oz of product on the Miliani website, sometimes a little cheaper in store.

3. Wet N Wild Mega Last Lipstick - Spiked With Rum - Do you ever find a lipstick and just know it was love? A match made in heaven? Meant to be? I did the moment I swiped Spiked With Rum on my lips I knew it was a lipstick I will use over & over again. This color lasts on my lips for 5 plus hours with eating and drinking. Oh! I forgot one of the best things Spiked With Rum is a lipstick under $3, can you believe it? Great color coverage & long lasting color for under $3. This lipstick is available in most drugstores so you can get it even cheaper if there is a sale, my local Rite Aid usually has 30 to 40 percent off.
4. Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge - I'm not sure if this can be found at everyone's local Walgreen's but mine sells them for $5.99. If your a fan of the Beauty Blender you might like this sponge! As much as I love the Beauty Blender, its a staple in my collection, what I'm not a fan of is the price point at $20 a piece. I love how this sponge is slightly bigger than my Beauty Blender and still fits in the palm of my hand. The Real Technique sponge does a amazing job of blending out my foundations, concealers, even some cream blushes. If your looking for a drug store blending sponge this would be the only one I would recomend
5. Simple Micellar Cleansing Water - Oh eeM Gee Kinks.. . I love this stuff! Makeup removing products, even the oil free ones burn my eyes to the point of tearing. In case you didn't know what micellar waters are, this is what Best Health says about them "non-rinse, soap-free cleansing waters that contain micelle molecules" and they are generally applied with a cotton pad to cleanse the face and remove makeup." Now I only use this product to remove my eye makeup, I simply wet a cotton pad hold it to my eye for 10 seconds & wipe... BAM no more eye makeup. I have tried a lot of makeup removers but this product is a MUST have for me.
I have a ton of drug store products Kinks, it was very hard to narrow it down to just 5 so I am adding an honorable mention in this post!

6. Cover Girl Ready Set Gorgeous Foundation - I was never a drug store foundation girl until about 4 months ago when I purchased the Maybelline Fit Me foundation. I have since tried a few different drug store foundations but this one is my holy grail drug store foundation! My skin is combination oily, & this foundation keeps me looking perfect all day even after a sweaty session at the gym. If you follow me on social media Cover Girl Ready Set Gorgeous is what I am wearing in most of my pictures. I love how good it looks on my skin and that it photographs well. This foundation is medium coverage but you can build it up without looking cakey. One of my biggest requirement for a foundation is blend-a-bility, Cover Girl Ready Set Gorgeous blends like butter on warm toast, & you know big girl loves warm toast.
So Kinks that was my top drug store products! I am always looking for new favorites, so if you have anything you'd like to suggest leave a comment below. My honey might go crazy with all my drug store trips but we both know I do it all for you.
