1. Outrageous Plump Lip Gloss from Sephora Collection
Favorite and Ive gone through several tubes of this. I really love this one now, over top of that, lipstick is my second product that Ill share with you, and this is from the Sephora collection – and I put this in here because its about the same price, its just about every drugstore lip gloss. But for me this is the one that I reach for over and over again countless tubes of this have gone on my lips. This one is the outrageous plump lip gloss from the Sephora collection, and this one is in sparkling pink now this color, particularly the formula, is fantastic, so you get that Plumping cooling effect, its just a nice, really hydrating kind of a medium thickness.
2. Hair Growth Tonic or Serum
Interestingly enough, I did decide to put one hair product in this lineup and it was because I use this every other day, no matter what Im putting this hair growth, tonic or serum. On my scalp and you can see that it has a really nice sprayer so that when it goes on your scalp, its going to reach through your hair and its going to go right directly onto your scalp and the other thing about this, is I absolutely love? How this has regrown my hair and if youve been with me me any amount of time.
3. Flower Beauty Naked Blush Lipstick
But I love the little reflex that this has in it. It just has this really pretty shine in it, and hopefully youre going to be able to see that, but on top of the naked blush lipstick from Flower Beauty, it is just magical, and so pretty this lip gloss is just one of those ones. That is just a great formula and looks great on the lips now.
Derma Factory Anti Hair Loss Scalp Tonic
Last year I had two surgeries that were fairly back to back and I lost a lot of hair. My hair has come back so nicely and I attribute it to not only the things I’m taking internally, but what I’m doing with this product right here. This product is from Derma Factory, it’s called the Anti Hair Loss Scalp Tonic. It strengthens scalp care, controls sebum, and provides a cooling effect.
Benefits of the Scalp Tonic
The scalp tonic helps to get your scalp clean, strengthen the hair you already have, and stimulate your scalp. I use it every other day on my hair before I go to bed, and then wash my hair the next morning. It has been a wonderful addition to my hair care routine.
Usage Frequency
While the product recommends daily use, I have found that using it every other day still provides growth benefits. It’s not a product that you have to continuously use to maintain the benefits. Even if you stop using it, you will retain the benefits due to its natural ingredients and advanced technology.
Revlon Photo Ready Primer
One of my go-to drugstore makeup products that I absolutely can’t live without is the Revlon Photo Ready Primer. This primer has truly saved my skin, leaving it smooth and hydrated without drying it out. The added skin care benefits of B5 and hyaluronic acid make it a standout product for me, especially on my mature skin. It fills in pores and fine lines, creating a flawless base for my makeup.
Nerium Skincare Product
Another essential product in my routine is a Nerium skincare product that has been a lifesaver for me during menopause. As my skin became more sensitive, I had to stop using prescription tretinoin. This Nerium product has been gentle on my skin while still providing the necessary care and hydration that my skin needs during this time of change.
Maybelline Fit Me Concealer
The Maybelline Fit Me Concealer is a staple in my makeup collection. It provides excellent coverage for dark circles and blemishes without feeling heavy or cakey on the skin. The creamy formula blends seamlessly and lasts throughout the day, making it a must-have for me.
NYX Butter Gloss
For a pop of color and hydration on the lips, the NYX Butter Gloss is my go-to product. The buttery smooth formula glides on effortlessly, leaving my lips feeling soft and looking shiny. With a wide range of shades to choose from, this lip gloss is perfect for any occasion.
L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara
No makeup look is complete without a coat of mascara, and the L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara is my all-time favorite. The volumizing formula adds length and fullness to my lashes, giving them a dramatic and fluttery effect. The brush separates each lash, preventing clumping and ensuring a flawless application every time.
Retinal dehy Cream Serum
This retinal dehy is a powerful product that works wonders for mature skin. Unlike regular retinol products, this cream serum is a game-changer. The technology behind retinols and retinas is crucial for anyone looking to build collagen and achieve youthful-looking skin. It sinks in quickly, allowing for daily use and provides incredible results.
Colourpop Stone Cold Fox Palette

This palette has been a favorite of mine, with usage that speaks volumes about its quality.

Moira Cream Blush
Another product that I had to put into this video because I reach for it over all of my other blushes is the Moira cream blush. This specific shade I have is a beautiful bright color for summer and spring, blending so well with any look I create. The formula is fantastic, not too slick or emollient, ensuring the pigment stays strong throughout the day.
Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation
The Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation is a staple in my makeup routine. It provides great coverage and helps control shine throughout the day. The range of shades is fantastic, making it easy to find the perfect match for my skin tone.
NYX Butter Gloss
The NYX Butter Gloss is my go-to for adding a touch of color and shine to my lips. The formula is smooth and comfortable to wear, not sticky like some other glosses. Plus, the shade range is extensive, offering options for any makeup look.
Elf Instant Lift Brow Pencil
For perfectly groomed brows, I always reach for the Elf Instant Lift Brow Pencil. The fine tip allows for precise application, filling in any sparse areas with ease. The formula is long-lasting, keeping my brows looking flawless all day long.
L’Oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara
When it comes to mascara, the L’Oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara is a must-have. It adds incredible volume and length to my lashes without clumping or flaking. The brush separates each lash, ensuring a full and fluttery look.
Cream Formula Blush
These cream formulas are very pigmented, even for those with light colored skin. You can easily shear them out to reduce the pigment, but if you have deeper skin, you can build up the pigment for a noticeable look. My favorite blush from the drugstore is simply gorgeous and stays in my makeup kit at all times.
Elf Sun Protection Primer
This year, elf came out with a fantastic product that combines glow, sun protection, and primer all in one. With SPF 30 and a beautiful glow, this product comes in three or four different shades. I use the lightest one for a sun-kissed glow that looks stunning under makeup or on its own. It’s like the Charlotte Tilbury Flawless filter, but with added sun protection.
Moisturizing Sunscreen
Although this product doesn’t explicitly say it’s a moisturizer, it is incredibly hydrating. You may want to consider using it in place of your regular moisturizer, as it provides great hydration. I use it as both my moisturizer and sunscreen, as well as a base for my makeup.
Number Seven Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced All in One Foundation
So it’s kind of skipping a bunch of steps – I did a foundation video for you not long ago, and I rediscovered how much I love the Number Seven Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced All in One Foundation. This is the foundation that I have on today, and this is probably one of the easiest foundations that I have ever worked with. It is a satin finish, so it’s not really matte, but it’s definitely not glowy, it’s just a very beautiful finish. It also has medium coverage, but it can be built up in places if you need more coverage. The one coat of it really does look beautiful on if you’re just looking for a natural everyday look to your skin. Also, this does have an SPF of 50 in it, so if you’re interested in the extra protection that’s really good for that as well. This quickly became my substitute for the it CC cream. I like it better because it lays a little bit better on my skin and although I love the it CC cream, this likes my pocketbook a little bit better. So this is a beautiful foundation, it’s one that has skin-loving ingredients in it as well, and it is a very long-lasting foundation. I can put it on in the morning and at night it still looks beautiful, so highly recommend this one as well.
La Girl Pro Color Foundation Mixing Pigments
And then to round everything out for number 10 again, if you’ve been with me for any amount of time, these won’t come as a surprise. But these are from La Girl, and these are the Pro Color Foundation Mixing Pigments, and I talk about these so much and there is a reason – these are phenomenal.
Color Correcting Mix-Ins
If you struggle with finding the right color for your foundation, having mix-ins is a must. You need them to be able to color correct. I have a very cool-toned complexion, and many foundations are either yellow or orange, making them impossible to wear. Using blue mix-ins can correct that to a cool tone. Just a little bit of it goes a long way. These mix-ins are matte products but highly pigmented. Mixing them in just a little bit at a time to start, and if you happen to pick up foundations that are too dark, you can mix in the white mix-ins. There are also orange and yellow mix-ins, which can be helpful for those with different skin tones. The yellow mix-ins are great for olive tones, as you can mix them with the blue to correct it to your desired olive tone.
Matte Liquid Lipsticks
Matte liquid lipsticks are essential for long-lasting, bold color. They are perfect for a night out or a special occasion when you need your lipstick to stay in place for hours. Drugstore brands offer a wide range of shades at affordable prices, making it easy to stock up on your favorites.
Setting Spray
A setting spray is a makeup essential to keep your look in place all day. Drugstore setting sprays are budget-friendly and effective. They help your makeup last longer, prevent creasing, and give your skin a fresh, dewy finish. Whether you have oily, dry, or combination skin, a setting spray can work wonders for the longevity of your makeup.
Concealer Palette
A concealer palette is a versatile product that can be used for different purposes. You can use it to cover blemishes, dark circles, and even as a highlighter for certain areas of your face. Drugstore concealer palettes come in various shades to match different skin tones, making it easy to find the perfect match for your complexion.
Blush Palette
A blush palette is a must-have for adding a pop of color to your cheeks. Drugstore blush palettes offer a range of shades from natural pinks to bold corals, allowing you to create different looks for various occasions. They are easy to blend and long-lasting, giving you a healthy, rosy glow all day.
