I actually find a lot of drugstore makeup to be better than some high end makeup.

I love:

Revlon Colorstay Foundation
Arissa Baked Eyeshadow- These shadows are really pigmented and long lasting!
Revlon Lipticks
The new Wet N Wild Eyeshadow Palettes
Wet N Wild Liquid Eyeliner- Again it really does last all day!

Sally Hansen nail polish
Maybelline Falsies Mascara--once I figured the brush out, it has been on like Donkey Kong
Real Techniques brushes (sort of higher end drugstore but still in the drugstore section of Ulta)
I'm not in the UK and so mine were a little more hard-won, but for those in the UK I also vote Sleek palettes
Unbuffered, uncoated Aspirin for exfoliating the skin and/or using as a mask to tone down redness in blemishes
