Drugstore Finds?

[ejpint]

I need some fun new makeup to play with, but I'm trying to be fiscally conservative this summer. I also have a Target GC burning a hole in my pocket.

Any recs for things to try from my favorite Target cosmetics department?

I like the Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping mascara. However, I rotate mascaras all the time (also like the Cover Girl Lash Blast). I buy Essie nail polish at Target. I've been itching to try www.drugstore.com/maybelline-instant-age-rewind-eraser-dark-circles-treatment-concealer-medium/qxp384748?catid=183547.

The Maybelline Color Tattoo eye shadows are awesome and a must try. Also be sure to try out the Revlon Colorburst lip butters.

I just bought these today and I must be the only person that doesn't like them. They feel like a coating of wax on my lips. I've read lots of positive reviews for the lip butters, so I was expecting to really like them. Oh well. :/

I also HATED THESE!!!

I loved them at first, but they're so drying on me. L'oreal's Color Riche Balm has been much better for me, though Burberry Lip Mists are my absolute favorite.

Oh good, I'm not alone! Haha. I thought something was wrong with me! I bought them from CVS, so fortunately I should be able to return them easily.

Really? That's too bad. I can understand why someone would think they feel waxy. I think they feel like chap stick. I have two of them, and dislike the color Peach Parfait because it doesn't show up on me, but I LOVE Berry Smoothie. I've heard that Burberry Lip Mists are good, but can't get myself to spend $30 on one lipstick

Loreal HIP eye liner (in the little pots) is the best liner I've ever used--better than anything in Sephora I've tried even. But you need a better brush than what comes with it.

I absolutely love the Maybelline Color Tattoo and L'Oreal Infalliable 24 hour cream shadows!

I only have one, but I hate it, too. The color slides right off my lips. I want my lipstick to stay on longer than 12 seconds.

Garnier BB cream ... It's AWESOME!

Are you interested in some products to avoid?
For the last couple of months, I challenged myself to give drug store brands a try. I'd read about people doing this, so I thought I'd give it a try for shiggles. Not so much.
Eos lip balm - I was using the red summer fruits version. I kept needing to reapply. It felt like my lips were drying out.

Maybelline Great Lash Washable Mascara- I had high hopes for this one, because it's often recommended (in print, online,etc,). Perhaps I was sensitive to it, but it made my eyes feel like they were burning each time I wore it. My lashes also felt dry and brittle. The last few weeks, I've been wearing no mascara as detox before I go back to my regular brand.

Maybelline Expertwear Twin Brow and Eye Pencils- Meh. It seemed to take more effort than necessary to apply.

I was happy with Neutrogena's Pink Grapefruit Body Wash.

I hope you have better luck than I did!

Also helpful! Thanks!

I really like the Organix coconut shampoo and conditioner.

My favorite mascara is the Cover Girl that comes in the skinny magenta tube. Better than many more expensive brands I've tried.

Maybelline Age Rewind Dark circle eraser- brightener and the neutralizer
Maybelline Color Tattoo eyeshadows- Bad to the Bronze is my favorite
Maybelline Falsies mascara
