My Budget Favourites

When it comes to my beauty arsenal, there are a few products I believe you should always buy high end. Liquid eyeliner, foundation, concealer, and eyeshadow. For everything else, I’m always on the hunt of deals.

These are a few of my favourite budget products, and they’re all available at Shoppers Drug Mart:

Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner in Onyx

This is an amazing pencil eyeliner. It’s creamy yet stays put all day. Plus, it’s self sharpening which is great. While I usually line my upper lash line with liquid liner, I use Maybelline’s liner on my inner lower lash. It blends nicely and looks really soft, and it costs about $8.00.

Anabelle Kohl Eyeliner in White

I’m obsessed with this product. I use this little pencil liner to highlight my inner lash line. I even use it sometimes all around my eye on top of concealer to cover dark circles and wake up my eyes in the morning. It blends really nicely and look great. Plus, it costs about $4.00.

Cover Girl Brow and Eyemakers in Midnight Brown and Perfect Blend Eyeliner in BlackBrown

I’ve been using the Eyemaker pencils for the past year to fill in my eyebrows that refuse to grow out. It stays on all day and and looks really natural. The Perfect Blend eyeliner is a great no hassle pencil liner for day looks and if you mess up the line, lucky you, it comes with a smudge brush on the other end to hide your mistakes. About $10.00.

Cover Girl Trushine Lipstick

These are perfect lipsticks. I was on the hunt for a great plum shade a la Serena Van Der Woodsen and picked up Plum Shine. It’s deep but it’s also very sheer and easy to apply.

If you’re still lamenting the passing of Lancome’s pout-a-porter Pixel Pink, then pick up Cover Girl’s Raspberry Shine. It’s exactly the same shade and only $6.00.

maybe try the “gosh” velvet eyeliner from shopper’s drug mart too. a ton of bright colors to choose from. really fun to play with. great for the water line. glides on more smoothly than any other eyeliner i have tried in that price range. $13. (not quite a budget product).
