Happy Aloha Friday, beauties! It’s time for another #FaceFriday feature. This week, it’s all about drugstore brands. Whether you’re a makeup noob, pro MUA, brand snob, there is that drugstore brand you are curious to try or swear by. So without further adieu, here are the products I used for today’s #fotd (some reviews are linked)
Face:
Elf Mineral Infused Face Primer : nice quality for dirt-cheap price
Elf Flawless Finish Foundation: not a favorite because it does oxidize fast
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer: great for dark under eyes
Elf Transluscent Mattifying Powder: a tad chalky but good enough to set foundation
Eyes:
Elf Mineral Eyeshadow Primer : performs just as good as Urban Decay primer potion
Sonia Kashuk Moroccan Dunes Eyeshadow (limited edition)
Elf Cream Eyeliner Teal Tease (lower lash line): made my left eye teary-eyed
Loreal Silkissime Eyeliner Highlighter (water line): contact lens wearer beware: this transfers to contacts making your vision cloudy. I had to take off my lenses at work, shoot!
Covergirl Bombshell Volume Mascara
Blush:
Eddie Funkhouser Ultra Intensity Cheek Color (A Little Toasted)
Lips:
NYX Matte Lipstick Strawberry Daiquiri
Have you tried any of these products?

Coral lipsticks look so freaking good on you!
aww, thanks much!
Also, I've been wondering about the elf foundation. How do you like it?
It does oxidize fast; medium shade is darker than usual; light to buildable coverage.
Very pretty look! e.l.f. Mineral Infused primer is one of my favorite primers.
great to know Leelo
Very pretty makeup look! I have always wanted to try that elf primer!
you mean the eye primer? for $1 you got nothing to lose 🙂
That LE palette is so pretty, it almost looks like Chantecaille eye shadows. And I love elf, can't believe how cheap they are for the quality they offer.
the Sonia Kasuk LE was surprisingly good
That lippie is so you… only a fraction of the cost of the Tom Ford! Of course, it's not nearly as luxe.
I concur
My fav DS product is Wet N Wilds eye shadows!
me too!
Gorgeous look, love that lipstick on you!
thanks Tima
I really like your lip color collection, You look pretty!
many thanks Naomi
I've been curious about the Eddie Funkhauser products. Love the blush. Haven't been able to find it around here. Great look for little $!
right now they are sold at Rite Aid and online
As much as I love my higher end beauty… I still have some drugstore staples that are just too good not to use!
Same here but it's nice to try drugstore brands once in a while
I haven't tried any of these, but Moroccan Dunes is gorgeous.. and the pop of teal looks fantastic!
thanks much. unfortunately, i don't think that eye palette is still available at Target
I love the Sonia Kashuk and Nyx 🙂
same here
NYX is a great brand and I'm waiting to try some Eddie F soon too!
You'll like EF for sure
Beautiful! And the lippie is my favorite part of the look!
yay, thanks!
You mentioned lots of products I haven't seen so it's great to see them in action
gotta put them in action or they rot, haha
Several of these items are ones that I use and agree with you. 🙂
awesome!!
The SK Moroccan Dunes. I need that. eeeeek
it was from last year so I doubt if Target still has it
I love that lip color so much I need to run out and get it in the morning!
you'll like it even more in person
