So appreciate your drugstore makeup reviews. Except for some foundations, drugstore makeup is just as good or better than high end. I’d love to get my hands on Believe Beauty’s foundation but there’s no store within 40 miles of my home. I just wish local drugstores and even Ulta would offer or have adequate stock of less expensive brands and/or carry their full line of products in their stores. Shopping for foundation or concealers on line is rarely successful. I also find that drugstore makeup products get discontinued more often than high end.

I love Believe Beauty foundation! But I love a lot of their products! The Revlon Illuminance Foundation - I tried that over the summer when my skin is more normal to slightly dry and I hated it. I thought it was waaaay too glowy. I looked more greasy than glowy. So I didn’t use it again. But then when winter came around and my skin was extremely dry, I remembered how glowy that was and thought it just might work better for me now that my skin is so dry and got it out to try again and absolutely LOVED it. It didn’t look glowy. Just more of natural finish (not glowy, not matte, just a nice natural, healthy look to the skin) and I didn’t need to set it with powder or anything and it wore beautifully all day. It’s been the only one I was using all winter because it just worked so well with my skin being super dry. I’m sure I’ll have to stop using it when it gets warmer and my skin goes to more normal to slightly dry. But I was so happy I didn’t throw it out after first trying it! Just goes to show it really depends on what your skin is currently like. I also forgot how much I loved the Physician Formula Butter Believe It Foundation. It’s great full coverage for my dry skin right now. Just takes a SMALL amount to get full coverage and look nice on the skin (but definitely one you can use too much on and it look cakey so always need to start small with that one for sure!). I usually have the same feelings on products as you do. But the one that just doesn’t work for me is Catrice’s Concealer. It always looks so dry under my eyes. I love their other concealer (Liquid Camo Concealer). But for some reason the TruSkin one always looks so dry on me no matter how small of an amount I use. Might be the shade because I do find a lot of products that are fair enough for me will look really dry on me but a shade a little too dark will look beautiful so I’ll use a mixer to use it and have the right shade. So I might need to try a darker shade. But I have other concealers I love so that would be a hassle I don’t need 😂

I use many of the products you’ve highlighted today, except for Belief Beauty only because I have enough foundations I’m working through. But the Catrice concealer is fabulous I love it! I have a few high end products but I’d rather spend the big bucks on skincare than makeup. Just my preference. That lip color on you is so beautiful. It brings out the colors you’ve used, subtly.

Hi Jen , I love this video, flower beauty have a lot of great products, where I live something is going on with stocking drugstore products eg, elf wow glow ( sunscreen/primer) or L’Oréal products (infallible blushes ) Revlon seems to be consistent with releasing new products. Love Katherine xoxo

Of course I'm a Moira fan so the shadow pots are bomb too!

Revlon Colorstay crème eyeshadow is pretty good. Revlon has really good lipstick too.

I’m so glad I have Dollar General stores nearby. I too love the Believe line. Have you tried anything else from them? I like it all but yes, the foundation is incredible ❤

Thanks for the Profusion brush tip and Believe Beauty foundation and mask tip too. What about a good eyeliner brush and a lip brush too.

What a great video. I’m annoyed that I can’t use so many of your recommendations because of allergies. Thank you for telling us about alternatives.

Me too. I don't dare put anything with fragrance on my face or lips. I don't enjoy itchy rashes. It sure does cut down on the skin care and makeup I can buy.

Makeup Snob Approved! Love that so much 😄. So much looks beautiful on u! Thx for the brush tip. I have a few Rephr brushes but they shed a lot IMO. I have Believe which is as good as the Estée Lauder DW but I hope they have my exact shade next time. I also love the Telescopic mascara. Super video❣️

Aw thank you!! I'm getting a few comments that using the term "makeup snob" is offensive. 🙄 I was hoping that people would understand that its meant in a playful way.

We s/b able to laugh at ourselves, especially today. Ur whole channel is all ab ‘help’, not hurt… helpful alternatives whenever possible. Pls keep being ur beautiful self, both inside + out. Humor ur way… was one of the things that got me to stick around in the 1st place 😊. Pls don’t change for the few that may need to change themselves… to help themselves. Sincerely, Makeup Snob

Sometimes with these types of videos, you help remind me of make up I have but haven't used in awhile. Tomorrow I am going to pull out my Moira Starshadow Pots. I have no idea how I have forgotten them! I love them so much! Thanks!
