Hey everyone :)
I've been watching so many of these videos on YouTube and thought it looked really fun, so I thought I'd change it up a bit and do it as a blog post instead.

1. What is your favorite drugstore makeup brand overall?
Recently I've really been loving Rimmel products. Everything they've come out with this year has been amazing - the Apocalips and Scandaleyes liners are some of my favourites - and the brand has really been taking off. I also really love their foundations and I think they're worth much more than they're sold at.
2. What are your favorite face, cheek and lip products?
For my face I've really been loving the new Revlon Nearly Naked foundation as it's very natural looking and perfect for school. A holy grail face product of mine is the Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer - it's absolutely amazing at only £4 and is one of the only concealers around that's actually pale enough for my skin (as you can probably tell, it's very well loved).
I'm not that into cheek products to be completely honest (shock horror!) and I actually don't have any from the drugstore :( I seriously need to go makeup shopping.
As for lip products I absolutely love the Revlon Lip Butters for a sheer everyday look - click here to see my review - and for evening looks my favourite red is the Kate Moss Lipstick in 107 by Rimmel. It's a deep wine colour with a matte finish and is the product that kick started my burgundy obsession.
3. Least favorite product?
I seem to be the only person who doesn't have and cherish this foundation, but I simply cannot stand the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation. I really dislike the mousse consistency as it makes my skin very dry and patchy, and overall it looks very messy and cakey - not a good look.
4. What is the best makeup bargain?
I'm not sure if this brand is available in the US but one of the best bargain brands I know of is MUA. You can get decent sized eyeshadows for only £1 - !! - and a whole palette of 12 for only £4. Not only is the brand cheap, they're amazing quality and there's a great range of products and colours.
5. What is your favourite underdog product?
My favourite liquid eyeliner is the Maybelline Master Precise Liner. It's really easy to apply, has great lasting power and is the perfect size for winged eyeliner. I've been using this product for over a year, but haven't seen any beauty gurus talk about it at all? Maybe I missed the hype, but I think it deserves a lot more recognition than it gets, especially for the price.
6. A drugstore product that is overpriced?
In general, I think drugstore mascaras are very overpriced. In the UK at least, the mascaras in Boots or Superdrug are around £10 and sometimes even go up to £15. Considering they're supposed to be drugstore products I think the price should be much lower, I would rather pay £15 for a high end mascara than one from Maxfactor.
7. Show your best drugstore dupe?
As I mentioned before, the MUA eyeshadows are a great bargain at only £1 and I found one shade that's a great dupe for MAC's cranberry. Considering the MAC shadows are around £12 I think that's an amazing deal.

8. Drugstore product that isn't worth the hype?
I find this so so SO annoying, but for me the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation just doesn't work. When I saw that two of my favourite YouTubers (Tanya Burr and Zoella) used this foundation I ran out straight away to buy it. And I was really disappointed. I loved the smell and the packaging, but the colours were way too dark for my skin tone and even when blended out, it felt really heavy on my skin and clogged up my pores. I just wasn't impressed, which is really annoying because everyone else seems to love it and look amazing in it. Not fair!
I hope you enjoyed this post! I found it quite enjoyable going through my little collection :)
