Drug Store Makeup

Leave a Comment

Being a woman can be expensive...
We all want to have a beautiful makeup bag filled with the most high-end products out there but unfortunately that would be REALLY expensive and we don't always have that luxury.
Thankfully there are products available that are similar to the expensive items you desire but don't cost as much! 

In America chemists are referred to as 'Drug Stores' and stock a while variety of the more inexpensive makeup brands. Often you will hear the phrase 'drug store brand' to describe makeup particularly if you watch Youtube makeup tutorials.  This just means it was chemist range product rather than from a department store or specialized makeup stockist. Consequently it didn't cost as much as a high-end product...
There are plenty of great products in the 'drug store' brands that are super similar to the high-end versions. These products are often duplicates or "dupes" for short and well worth checking out.

Currently I'm loving a Rimmel lipstick from the Kate Moss collection, #16 it cost me just over $10 and colour wise it incredibly similar to MAC 'Cut a Caper' which is a lot more expensive!  



I'm happy with my "dupe" and so is my bank account... In my opinion the colour is so similar to the MAC option but at the price of Rimmel I can buy several items rather than just 1 MAC product.

Sometimes you need to think smart and do some research before spending your hard earning money on makeup :)

Have you got any good dupe recommendations you can share with me???

Gorgeous nails thanks to Sally!

Leave a Comment


Unfortunately I've not been blessed with beautiful nails naturally...

To be completely honest I am always just a teensy bit jealous when I see other people with naturally gorgeous nails. However I can still have lovely nails I just have to work a bit harder at it. So don't lose hope if you have the same problem :)


Of course being a makeup artist and working in retail my hands are always on show so it is important  for me always keep them looking at their best. Personally I think as long as you have neatly manicured hands it doesn't matter whether your nails are short or long.


Over the years I have tried LOTS & LOTS of nail products - each one offering me a miracle and some deliver better than others.





 Sally Hansen Nail Treatments


I've come to trust Sally Hansen products, so if you haven't tried this American range you need to check them out. They have been around for a long time and continually bringing out new products.

There is a wide range of nail care products including plenty to help encourage nail growth as well as lots of fun nail polishes. 


I've just stocked up lots of the treatments as they are currently 70% off at work. I've keep you posted on how my 'Longer, stronger, harder nails' are coming along over the next few weeks.



Have you got any tips to share on getting better looking nails?  I'm always interested to hear what other people use/do!
