I was watching one of the my favourite YouTubers
Essiebutton (http://www.youtube.com/user/essiebutton) do
a vlog on this topic and I loved it so much I just had to complete a blog post
on this topic. I spend way too much of my hard earned money in drugstores or
chemist shops as we call them here in Ireland so answering these questions was
fun .

tagged a few of my favourite bloggers in this post below so I hope you
participate and I cannot wait to read your post.

So let’s
get started.............
What is your favourite drugstore make up brand?
Oh this
is difficult as I like different products from different brands. I tend to buy
a lot of products from L’Oreal. Examples of some L’Oreal products I have bought
in the last few months are True Match Foundation, Volume Million
Lashes Diamantissime, and Sublime Bronzer. I use a large
variety of product such as fake tan, hair products, body products and makeup. I
like L’Oreal as it tends to be good quality and is nice on the skin. I have to
admit some products can be a little expensive but overall it is a good brand
which offers a varied product line.
What is your favourite face product?
I am in
love with Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer. I had seen so many reviews I just had to
try it. I am so glad I did. I had been using MAC concealers and I have to admit
this Rimmel concealer is better. It is pigmented, really excellent consistency
and provides excellent coverage. I simply cannot say enough good things about
this product.
What is your favourite lip product?
Revlon
Lip Butter in Cotton Candy. Much loved by so many people it is a favourite of
mine also. It is a mixture of the perfect lip butter balm with the hint of
delicate colour. The range of colours on offer are excellent, the quality is
fabulous and the price very competitive.
What is your favourite eye product?
Volume Million
Lashes Diamantissime by L’Oreal. This is by far one of my all
time favourite mascara’s. It gives you big volume lashes that are separated and
bright. Priced really well this is, in
my opinion, a perfect drugstore buy.
Volume Million Lashes Diamantissime by L’Oreal.
What is your favourite hair product?
Once
again L’Oreal comes up trumps via L’Oreal Elnett Hair Spray and Heat Protector
Spray. The hair spray does not leave your hair hard and can be simply brushed
out. I also love James Brown Volume Mouse. Once again my pursuit of big hair
brought me this product. It gives volume and helps to hold style in my hair.
What is your favourite body product?
Soap and
Glory all the way! Any shower or bath products by this brand are fabulous. It
is rich, leaves your skin so soft and smells divine. It is really a luxury
product at a decent price. Each year
Boots Stores have a special soap and glory gift set on offer at Christmas and
it is just brilliant value. I have bought it for the last 3 years. It contains
such as items as bath foam, shower gel, body lotion, face wash, hand and foot
cream etc. I last me months and an added bonus you also receive money off
voucher pack which gives you Boots advantage points for purchases, money off
coupons and value certificates. Love it!
What is your least favourite drugstore product?
I have
had a long standing love affair with all things cosmetic and beauty related, I
have tried so many brands and the one brand that simply fails to impress me in
any way is Bourjois. I have tried lots of products including
mascara to nail varnish and they just don’t impress me. I found the mascara did
not offer the desired look that I hoped to achieve and it had no staying power
at all. The nail varnish took too many coats to achieve the colour and due to
the number of coats you had to use it took forever to dry and chipped too
easily. In summary I tend to stay clear from this brand.
What is the best drugstore bargain?
As earlier
mentioned I <3 Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer and I think at the moment this
product is the best drugstore bargain. I gives a lot of high end branded
concealers a good run for their money.
It is a great product at a great price.
What drug store brand or product is overpriced?
I have
two options here. First off is No7. I find this brand to be very overpriced for
the products offered. No 7 may not be very widely available outside boots
stores so I shall pick a second brand. Philosophy is the second brand. I really
like this brand and the products but I just find them expensive so I would tend
to purchase these products as a treat to myself!
What is your best drugstore dupe?
One of
the best dupes I have found recently is Essence Colour and Go in Hot Pink. It is
the perfect dupe for Nails Inc Walton Place. I can see little difference
between the two only in the price.
There it
is the best, worst and all the rest of drugstore products and brands. Ok so
real fun part tagging time. I tag the following fabulous bloggers.
