I'm back today with some more recent drugstore beauty discoveries, some new and some just new to me, that are ticking my boxes right now. I'm a big fan of drugstore makeup, and it makes me so happy to find a well-priced gem in the aisles of Boots!
First up, let's talk about the fact that it's getting easier to get ahold of Nyx in the UK! Some larger Next stores have stocked a selected range for a while, but now you can also find them online in Boots and in Selfridges in London! I had a peruse of the counter in Selfridges and was very impressed, but some how managed to exercise some restraint and leave with just one product - the Nyx Radiant Finishing Powder. I was drawn to this purely because of its similarities in appearance to a similar Bobbi Brown powder (that comes in at a whopping £42). And yeah, I'm digging this, it's definitely more natural and glowy looking than your average setting powder, and it's not necessarily mattifying, but it looks really pretty and glowy on the skin. I've been reaching for this on days where my skin feels like it needs an extra boost of brightness, which is most days in this gloomy March!
I spoke about Soap and Glory's new colour correcting concealers in this post, and since then I've been really digging the lilac shade. I use this before my under eye concealer to help neutralise dark circles, and it's doing a stand up job. When I use this I definitely look more awake, and more radiant! The formula is creamy and easy to apply, but it blends into almost a powder finish, meaning it's super long wearing throughout the day!
My girl Daphne sent out the Innisfree Brow Pencil in her latest Asian care package and I've barely put it down. This is a pretty perfect dupe for my Bobbi Brown Perfectly Defined Brow Pencil, and I love the handiness of having the pencil & spoolie in one go.
The Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Blushing Mauve has been my go to every day lip option for the last few weeks. It's such a pretty shade, not too brown and not too pink, and it's super comfortable to wear!
And lastly a quick shout out for the Kiko Shade Fusion Trio Blush in 05, the perfect blush accompaniment to the Revlon lip colour. Matte, longwearing and natural looking on the skin, what more could you want?
What budget buys are you loving right now?
