My Best Beauty Buys Part 2

Hello my little beauties!

Today’s first best beauty buy is Rimmel London Max Bold Curves mascara and Rimmel London Max Volume Flash mascara. I know what you might be thinking, Rimmel? Really? Yes, Rimmel is my favorite drugstore mascara brand hands down. I know a lot of people who don’t really like this brand but I don’t think many people give their mascaras a fair chance. I love these mascara’s because they both have a thick brush and go on smoothly as it separates the lashes while providing amazing length. But the best part is that these not only works instantly, but they work over time as well. Their mascara has collagen and keratin in them which is said to lengthen lashes and ever since I have started using either of them my lashes have been grown noticeably longer. Isn’t that all any of us want from a mascara? I have found the only difference between the two is that the Max Bold Curves has a curved brush and Max Volume Flash has a straight brush but they are basically the same brush and the same mascara formula. So next time you’re looking for a new mascara check out the Rimmel aisle and give it a fair shot!

My second best beauty buy is another drugstore product and that is Maybelline Super Stay Concealer. I've had a lot of people tell me that concealer is the one thing that should be splurged on and to not use drugstore brand. However, drugstore brand concealers are a quarter of the cost of a department store brand and since I have such light skin, most department store brands don’t even have shades light enough for me anyways. So those of you with very fair skin rejoice because Maybelline Super Stay Concealer in Ivory is the lightest shade concealer I have found so definitely check that out. Also, it is said to stay on for 24 hours which I haven’t found to be true but it did last a lot longer than other concealers I have tried. My skin tends to breakout easily so it’s important for the products I use to not clog pores or make me breakout and who would want the product covering a breakout to actually cause one. I was happy to find out that this didn’t cause me to breakout at all and it has very good coverage because it is thick but it is pretty easy to blend.
