Glow without a highlighter.

Who doesn't like a healthy and glowing skin? Ohhhh it's a dream! Even though we can highlight our face with the best highlighters available in the market, no highlighter can do even the smallest fraction of what your skin naturally can.

These easy and natural ways can make you lit, trust me on this *wink*

Banana, Coconut and Sugar: 

Banana contains moisture, potassium, and vitamins E and C, which all promote clear glowing skin whereas, coconut acts as a natural moisturizer for the skin which also helps it to glow. The sugar on the other hand helps to remove the dead cells from your skin. 

Peppermint and Sugar: 

 

Peppermint gives a cooling sensation and has a calming effect on the body. If used with sugar it can turn out to be a nice and gentle scrub for your skin as it will leave your skin feeling fresh. 

 

Coffee  

A coffee scrub will help exfoliate your skin and the coffee grains help reduce cellulite by plumping your skin. you can mix coffee grains with honey as honey will help to moisturize your face and it will make your skin oh-so-soft! 

I hope you found this helpful, if yes, don't forget to share with friends and family and help them get glowing skin too <3

Lipsticks 

From a blunt red to a nude, every girl's dream is to have the perfect Kylie Jenner lips but naturally though. If not natural, one can enhance their lips by putting the perfect lip combo with their makeup and dress.

Here are some of the best Drugstore lipsticks that can save your pocket from being emptied on expensive products which pretty much have the same quality:

Battle of the Best Drugstore: Eye Shadow (8/12)

Eye Shadow

This is the widest topic in this series and like always i am going to write little but put up more pictures so that you do not get bored and my message is conveyed. First of all I am going to show you which of the drugstore eye shadow palettes are good quality and you can buy them 💟

If we go a little more expensive than these, you can get way more eye shadows in one single palette and they'd be pigmented and creamy too. These are none other than the Morphe palettes that are fool-proof and amazing in their own manner:

 More information on these palettes can be found here: https://www.morphebrushes.com/collections/pro-makeup-palettes ♥

Apart from these above, the ones below are just a glimpse of the good quality single eyeshadows that can fit to your needs if you are not a palette person:

I hope this post was a help towards your decision of buying eye shadows whether palettes or single eyeshadows. If it was, share this post with friends and family 💟

Battle of the Best Drugstore: Blushes (7/12)

Blushes

Some of you do not like any redness on your face even when its artificial for example Amy Macedo does not like to wear blush, but that is okay everyone has a personal preference. To be honest I love wearing a blush on my cheeks. It just makes you look fresh. 

You really don't need to buy expensive products to put up a show. Drugstore has really stormed up to create some of the best quality products in the market. Some of the drugstore blushes that will never make you shed a tear are listed below. With these you can literally close your eyes and swipe that blush loaded brush across your cheeks and wait for the magic to happen! You can either choose Powder blushes or Cream blushes:

Note: According to me the lighter your skin, the lighter your blush color would look pretty on you and vice versa. This is just what I believe in but to be honest there are no rules in shopping or doing your makeup so just do whatever the hell makes you happy <3

Battle of the Best Drugstore: Bronzer (6/12)

 Bronzer

 Who wants a pale face without dimension or who likes to have a white face like a vampire who survives by drinking everyone's blood but his own is drained out? Even if you do not have such a light colored skin and have a tan like me, you definitely need to create shadows and highlight to give your face some element. Here is a list of drugstore bronzers that will never let you down. 

Battle of the Best Drugstore: Contour (5/12)

Contour

Ladies, the most important armor a female can carry are her sharp and chiselled cheekbones cause that's a weapon you ain't gonna need no license for. Don't have one? No problem even the biggest celebrities do not have natural sharp cheekbones or jawline. They all contour. YES, THEY DO! After all, who does not want to make her face look thin but her butt fat? It's all a matter of illustration. Contouring can make all the difference it can make you look thinner than you actually weigh. Even after all these benefits, would it be smart enough to spend huge sums on when you can still rock your cheekbones by paying less and saving more? Here I bring to you some of these fool-proof, cheap and affordable contouring palettes that can save your day 🔺

You can either choose a cream contour or a powder contour;

Battle of the Best Drugstore: Powder (4/12)

Powders

Without setting powder or finishing powder one cannot step out of their house. Why? because everyone wants to look pretty and flawless. If you step out of the house with your concealer creasing your ex's new girlfriend might think you were'nt cool so he left you. An-An, girl when you step out of that house you must look bad and boujee and turn everyone's neck and almost break them. Be You! Step up that makeup game and slay.
I bring to you the best drugstore powders to set that makeup and look seamless and defined without much effort. 
Some of the dupes are listed below:

Battle of the Best Drugstore: Concealer (3/12)

Concealer 

 As long as concealers are considered we know that the drugstore is picking up its game on producing some of the best concealers in the market which the biggest makeup Gugus have approved of for example, Tati, NikkieTutorials, Christen Domnique, Kathleen Lights and Jaclyn Hill. Their most favorite has been the L.A Girl Pro conceal, which was later taken over by Maybelline's Fit me concealer and then Tarte Shape Tape which we all know is not drugstore. Now that we know, these drugstore concealers are a bomb in themselves, we do not need to know if these products are a dupe for a high end brand or not. In my wishlist i have these three concealers from the drugstore that can make your skin look perfect:

 

Battle of the Best Drugstore: Foundation (2/12)

All you need is the best, most magical primer in this world. With that being said, it does not mean that you spend all your money on primers or makeup. Girls, be efficient and save that money!!

Without further ado:

1. The PORE fessional and Maybelline baby skin

Product Dupes Series.

Hi there! So, I was just sitting and I thought that I should better write something for my blog. I first thought that I should write about the drugstore dupes for high-end brands. I was all set up to write about foundation dupes only at the moment but then i thought yo, lets start a series so that my audience can get the best out of my blog. So, in this series of posts I would be writing about all the products that we use in our makeup. I would be writing high-end product's best, cheap alternatives available at the drugstore. It would be in order, like Primer is the first thing we apply on our face which is why I am going to write about primers first and if Setting Spray is the last thing we use on our face then I am going to talk about it in the end of this series. Stay tuned for updates 💟

NOTE: All opinions will be based on my own experience and knowledge. These are my own point of views about the products and I am not sponsored by any brand or company. I do not own the copyrights of the pictures i've used in these series.

No makeup in summer?

Living in Pakistan, the summer can get a little too hot and the temperature can rise up to 54 degrees to bear and wear makeup or get dressed up. Sweating is the most common adjective everyone has to embrace in such typical weather conditions because they do not even have a choice which is why we want our makeup to look matte and not shiny. In this case if you want to wear makeup, you need to make sure that your makeup stays put throughout the day and if not all day then at least through the event you are about to attend. To be honest, in such hot conditions it is a MUST to set your makeup with powder so that you do not sweat a lot and your makeup does not budge. In such a scenario if you are a makeup artist or a professional then you might have a high-end branded setting powder or compact powder, but if you are a beginner and have just started using makeup then you should prefer drugstore because you are just starting out and drugstore is cheap and affordable and the quality is no less.
In cases like these, you can go for Essence Mattifying Compact Powder.

Essence Mattifying Compact Powder

 This will not only make your face matte but will keep any shine in your skin from peeking through. This will help your foundation to stay a bit longer. It is also a very good product to keep your concealer from creasing. You can use this to keep your eye serum from creasing and can make a smooth base for your eye shadow to stick to. This product is available in many diverse colors to choose from. I myself am a beginner which is why I like using this product and honestly i do not have any regrets for buying it. I hope this review was a help for you. Follow and subscribe for more.

Need a new mascara? Problem solved.

Maybelline Lash Sensational

YES! This might not be a newly launched product but it never gets old. This is the first mascara with patented fanning brush with 10 layers of bristles to reveal a full flourish of lashes. Liquid Ink formula coats from all sides for a sensational full fan effect.It is a liquid-wet kind of formula which is also available in waterproof. The brush has 2 sides. Use inner curve to reach the roots of lashes and the outer curve to reach the ends of your lashes to coat your lashes evenly. It makes your eye lashes longer and voluminous without making it look like you have spider-legs on your eyes. 
The fun part is that this mascara is not only available in one color but has a set of three colors to choose from; Blackest Black, Very Black and Brownish Black. Not only is it very affordable, it is easily available at drugstores and online. 
Lets talk about the packaging. ROSEGOLD is everyone's favorite nowadays be it bomber jackets, iphone or eyeshadows. It is a shiny rosegold container with the details printed in black on it. The packaging is eye-catching and when you see it with other Maybelline mascaras on the shelf this one is guaranteed to attract you the most, and why would it not it does wonders to your lashes. 
Where can you buy it? you can buy it easily in everyother drugstore or online. some of the online shops offering Maybelline Lash sensational are listed below:
