  • Best drugstore lipstick formulas

    It is no secret that I love a good lipstick. While my preference for most lipsticks goes to the more high end spectrum, I cannot deny that I love a good drugstore lipstick too. In terms of drugstore lipsticks there are a few brands whose formulas I have tried and…

  • Top 5 Fair skin foundations at the drugstore

    Foundation shades are a hot topic at the moment. While many high end brands have good or decent shade ranges, the drugstore is far behind when it comes to offering a good shade range. Both on the dark and light end of the spectrum you can really struggle finding a…

  • Top 5 Drugstore Concealers

    Now that I have shown you my top 5 high end concealers, it only makes sense to also go over my top 5 versions from the drugstore. When it comes to drugstore concealers I have a little more experience than with high end. And to be honest: I love an…

  • Favorite concealers

    Time to show you my all time favorite concealers! This is a make up product I love trying out. More so than foundation if you’d believe that. And I especially like drugstore concealers, but just for good measure I threw in a few high end favorites as well. This is…

  • Hema micellar water

    It is no secret I love the Garnier micellar cleansing water. But when you find an even more affordable micellar water that works as good, then of course we have to talk about it on the blog. This version by Hema may not be widely available, but it’s a product…

  • Essence Superfine eyeliner pen

    I am not much of an eyeliner buff. I go through phases where I wear it from time to time and when I do I usually use gel liner. Liquid liner is definitely not my forte so when I found the felt tip pen liners I was hoping it would…

  • Drugstore nail polish haul

    Spring is around the corner and in the past few weeks I have found myself stocking up on some spring appropriate nail polishes. They are all drugstore brand polishes and range from as little as 2 euros a pop to 5.99. You will notice that I am favoring baby blues…

  • My neutral drugstore lipsticks

    Nude or neutral lips: not necessarily my cup of tea. Finding the perfect ‘my lips but better’ shade can be a pain and often I just think: what’s the point?! You could manage just fine with a layer of sheer lip balm to create a similar effect. Yet, because of…

  • New in: MUA, Bourjois, Miss Sporty

    Since April, Dutch drugstore Kruidvat has been carrying UK makeup brand MUA. All beauty loving Dutchies rejoiced, until we found out not all stores would carry it. When we found out which stores did, it turned out that most of the stores carrying the brand were the not so logical…

  • Drugstore nail polish stash #1

    A few months ago my Ebay nail wheels that I use to organize my nail polish collection ran out of space. So I ordered a new stack and decided to reorganize my nail polish swatches as my collection has changed quite a bit since the last time I showed it.…

  • Catrice All Matt Plus foundation

    The item in my budget make up shoplog I was most curious about, was the Catrice All Matt Plus foundation in 010 Light Beige. Since the end of last year I’ve been on a foundation trial kick. I already tried a Dior one and a L’Oreal one, but nothing super…
