7 Holy Grail Drugstore Beauty Products
osbiebeauty

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!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
