7 Holy Grail Drugstore Beauty Products

If you're anything like me, your idea of a fun Sunday is going to the nearest Ulta and testing, trying out and buying new makeup. I get so excited when I see that my favorite YouTube beauty vloggers uploaded a new video testing out new foundations, concealers, and more. I do love makeup, but I don't love spending a lot on it. I've learned over the years that while sometimes it is worth the extra money to get some holy grail products, you can also find some great holy grail products that won't break the bank and work just as well, or even better.

This list is just some of the amazing drugstore products I've found, and I'm sure there's a ton more out there I have yet to discover, so please go discover some! I hope that this article inspires all of you beauty guru's to go and search through your local Ulta or drugstore to find some amazing products that you can buy with the change in your wallet!

1) L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation

This foundation is amazing! I have a weird dry/oily combo skin on my face, depending on the day, and this is the best foundation I have ever tried. It makes my face look smooth and matte all day and is so lightweight but also full coverage! I think that this foundation is a perfect 10 and it is currently cheapest at Walmart for $10.97 here.

2) Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer

This is one of the best concealers I have ever tried. It totally brightens and covers everything, from darkness to circles, under your eyes. I love the applicator of this concealer and it truly is so easy to love! This concealer is $8.99 at Ulta here

3) FLOWER Powder Up Finishing Powder

You don't have to use powder to set and finish off your face makeup, but if you do, I highly recommend this one! I heard about this powder from my favorite YouTube vlogger (go check out her page here!). This powder is amazing for dusting over your foundation and concealer just to get that smooth and satin finish. There is a ton of product in this package, and you can get it from Walmart for $9.98 here.

4) Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Color

This stuff is amazing. It has beautiful packaging, lasts forever, stays matte, and so cheap! And by cheap, I mean yes there is cheaper lip products you can find but this stuff is the real deal. It's $8.99 at Ulta, but if you can find an online coupon or wait for a sale, you can get one of these gems for even cheaper!

5) Makeup Revolution "The Matte Blush"

This is my favorite, and cheapest, blush I've found so far. I love this brand, and I have only seen it at Ulta so far, so I pick up these long-lasting blushes there for only $5.00! Find all six shades online here.

6) Biore Ultra Deep Cleansing Pore Strips

These are absolute, must-haves if you have troublesome nose pores like I do! They work wonders, and once you use them once and see the results, you will become as obsessed with this product like I am!! These strips totally clean out the pores on your nose and cheek area, and leave them looking and feeling brand new. You can find them at any drugstore for around $7.49.

7) Real Techniques Makeup Brushes and Sponge

Whether you are applying foundation, blush, contour, or basically any makeup product, any of these brushes and sponge make it so much easier and more flawless looking. I have tried almost all of these products and use them daily, and you cannot beat the price of these along with the quality. These tools range from $6.99 to $9.99 at Ulta and you will definitely get your money's worth with them.

I hope this post gave each of you a little makeup inspiration and a new sense of adventure to go out and find your own cheap holy grail products. While I don't mind spending a little more on some amazing products sometimes, you can usually find some pretty cheap dupes for the expensive products. Remember, looking good doesn't always require putting a hole in your wallet!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
