Top 10 High Quality Drugstore Products!

Welcome back! Today I'll be sharing with you some of my all time favourite drug store products. In this recent winter weather I've been dreaming of travel... and therefore also how much travel costs. So, with that inspiration in mind, I decided it was time to focus on cost effective makeup options. So, here are my top picks!

1. Revlon Colorstay Foundation - I've loved this foundation forever. It's not oily, and it has great coverage, without looking cakey.

2. Revlon Matte Balm - I have three of these- they're so amazing! Matte, vibrant colour, but not drying whatsoever! 

3. Wet and Wild Eye Shadow - This brand makes some of the best drugstore eye shadow out there. It's pigmented and rich, and super cheap! You can't go wrong with this stuff. 

4. Covergirl Lipstick - I've been using these lipsticks since I was 14. They're classic, great colours and super pigmented. 

5. Maybelline The Rocket Mascara - Definitely a cult favourite. It's lengthening and volumizing.

6. BH Cosmetics Concealer Palette - I bought this on Amazon for about $10, and its certainly been one of my best purchases. It's great for highlighting, contouring and concealing.

7. Wet and Wild Bronzer - Another favourite of mine since my young teen years. You get so much product for such a good price and can bronze your face and body. 

8. EOS Lip Balms - Another cult favourite. Really great lip moisturizers, and certainly just as good as any high end equivalent.

9. NYC Cheek Glow - Mine is in the shade West Side Wine, and I love sweeping it just below my cheek bones. A great alternative to other high end blushes.

10. Covergirl Tru Match Concealer - Super high coverage, and long lasting! 

Hope this was helpful! Let me know what your favourite drug store products are! 

Cute Cupcakes! Perfect Icing Recipe!

Being home over reading week last month, and finally having access to a kitchen again inspired me to do some baking. So I made vanilla cupcakes with my favourite frosting ever, "7 minute frosting," Check out the recipe below! 

7 Minute Frosting 

Ingredients

2 egg whites, unbeaten 

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 

5 tablespoons of cold water

1 teaspoons of corn syrup

1 teaspoon of vanilla 

Directions

Combine egg whites, sugar, water and corn syrup in the top of the double boiler. 

Mix thoroughly.  

Place over rapidly boiling water and beat constantly with rotary beater until mixture will hold a peak. 

This requires roughly 7 minutes. 

Remove from heat, and add vanilla. Beat until thick enough to spread or pipe. 

TIP: Wait for the icing to cool before piping or spreading. It will firm up as it cools.

It's still winter! (Unfortunately) But I'm here waiting for spring. I keep trying to incorporate more colour in my outfits in hopes that the weather will reply! 

Sweater: Forever 21

Skirt: H&M
