Nikki’s Top 5 Drugstore Picks

Good morning and happy Wednesday to my fellow makeup enthusiasts! Welcome to another blog post on my Top 5 picks in beauty. I feel lately I have been talking about a lot of high end products and using a lot of high end products and so, for this week post I decided to talk about all things drugstore.

I love drugstore makeup; I mean who doesn’t! It is more affordable and accessible. I found it extremely hard to narrow it down to just my Top 5 as the drugstore does have some amazing products in it, that are highly comparable to higher end brands, if not better. Here are my Top 5 Dugstore picks that are my ride or die at this moment in time.

Australis Fresh and Flawless

Purchase Here - https://www.priceline.com.au/australis-fresh-flawless-pressed-powder-12-g

This powder is a life saver if you have oily skin... thank me later. I use the shade natural however, the powder comes in 6 different shades. This is better than so many higher end powders I have tried and is often compared to the MAC powders however, in my opinion is it better. This is my go to holy grail powder.

Elf Studio Baked Highlighter

Purchase Here - http://www.kmart.com.au/product/e.l.f-studio-baked-highlighter/1097903

This $7 highlighter from Kmart shocked me. The shade moonlight pearl is stunning and highly comparable to my moonstone highlighter from Becca which retails for $64. My advice is if you are looking for an affordable and blinding highlight look no further than the elf baked highlighters.

L’Oréal Infallible Matte 24HR Foundation

Purchase Here - https://www.priceline.com.au/l-oreal-paris-infallible-matte-foundation-35-ml

Again, I am in the lightest shade right now which is "Vanilla" however, in summer I can bump it up a few shades. This foundation is longwearing, full coverage and simply perfect for my combination skin. I notice my T-Zone remains less oily throughout the day. My favourite drugstore foundation to date and probably in my top 3 foundation picks.

Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid

Purchase Here - https://www.priceline.com.au/maybelline-vivid-matte-liquid-7-7-ml

Although this is not your typical extreme long wearing liquid lipstick it is a good happy medium. I enjoy these because they are extremely wearable as they are not too drying but also are not sticky like a gloss. If you love a matte lip but are over your lips drying up maybe give these a try. I currently own these in 5 shades and do not regret a thing.

Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer

Purchase Here - https://www.priceline.com.au/physicians-formula-murumuru-butter-bronzer-light-11-g

If you are pale like me and struggle to find a bronzer that does not make you look orange than look no further as this bronzer is for you. This bronzer simply melts into your skin and the coconut scent makes you feel like you are on a tropical vacation all year around. This bronzer is available in Priceline however, is extremely popular so grab it if you see it.

I love, love, love my drugstore products and am always on the hunt for a new favourite to add to my collection, so If you are aware of any products that you think I desperately need to try please let me know by either commenting down below or sending us a message on twitter @Class13_Beauty.
