Fall Beauty Goodies: Drugstore Edition
It’s been awhile since my last mission with Duane Reade. I wanted to take this opportunity to showcase some of my favorite makeup items for Fall. I recently swapped out my old Flex Rewards card to the new Balance Rewards program. I love that you can earn points shopping at Walgreens now. Of course, when I bought these products, I shopped for the best sales my new Balance Rewards membership could get me. Luckily for me, some of my favorite products were nicely discounted with my new card. The two specials I used included getting Revlon’s buy one get one free and Maybelline’s buy one get one half off. Pretty sweet deal, huh?!
If you missed the original Fall Beauty Goodies post, check it out here. Today, it’s all about drugstore beauty. Let’s start off with Revlon’s balm stains. I have been using Sweetheart (above) for a while and its amazing. It’s pretty much a great everyday lip product — moisture + pigment. For the Fall, I decided to go with berry colors: Lovesick and Smitten. If I had to choose, I heart Smitten more since it’s a deeper color, but since I could get another for free, I picked up Lovesick.
Okay, yes. I know it says Summer Crush, but these are a darker versions of its original color. I love the burnt orange and golden yellow eyeshadows from this palette. This is one of my favorite palettes to get because it comes equipped with primer and highlighter.
I had to include these two in even though they are pretty much seasonless. Both are fairly new to the market, and both I love using. Out of the many US-based bb creams I’ve used, Maybelline’s is my favorite. Of course I still love my fuller-coverage Asian ones. As for Revlon’s new whipped foundation, I love it because it works as great as the original Colorstay foundation, except, it feel much lighter. Fluffy even.
There you have it, some of my favorites going into the Fall. I saved about $25 on this trip! If you are planning to get some shopping in, I definitely recommend using the Balance Rewards savings on Revlon products. I don’t think you can beat getting a second item free :)
