WOC Holy Grail/ Favorite Drugstore Products

[Smf16]

I have seen some other HG/ Favorites threads but I am really wondering about favorite drugstore products for women of color. I think it helps us to know what other women of our complexions are finding that works good. Sometimes it is hard to find those drugstore gems...

Well my favorites are my NYC lipstick in Mocha, Maybelline Colorsensational lipstick in Toffee Tango, Revlon Voluminous Mascara Carbon Black, and more recently loving Maybellines Falsies mascara in Black <3....

**This thread is for anyone that wants to post as some products are not only color specific (ex: mascara).

Please post I would love to see everyones favorites! Thanks

It was like using plain water, I hurried and took that mess back! I'll have to try the CVS brand, then.

I have to chime in from the "Amen corner" on these picks of yours:

L'Oreal Telescopic mascara

Essence of Beauty crease brush duo

Sinful Colors nail polishes... PERIOD! They've got some great colors and wear well, at least on me!

Oh yes I have recently discovered these NK eyeshadows at my beauty supply! They are definitely nice and pigmented! I am going to have to try these colors too

Many of my favorite items have been mentioned:

-L'oreal Telescopic Mascara

-L'oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara

-Maybelline Full n Soft Waterproof when I want full lashes but not as dramatic as L'oreal Voluminous

-Ecotools brushes, especially the retractable kabuki. I carry it in my purse.

-L'oreal jelly balms, especially Delectable and Succulent

-NYX jumbo eye pencils

-Wet n' Wild eye shadows

Covergirl Lash Blast...I can't live without it LOL

 

[sss215]

Adding cover girl lash blast length waterproof to the mix. The brush is what makes this product fabulous! My lashes separate with ease and there is no clumping. The slender, plastic brush on this product looks really similar to MAC's studio fix mascara... Acts the same too.

 

[kittykit]

Maybelline Great Lash
Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express mascara

 

[La Dolce Diva]

Maybelline Eye Pencils (the red ones that come 2 in pack)- I use these for brows exclusively ...even to work at MAC lol
Maybelline Mineral Pressed Powder in Dark (just as good as Mineralize Skinfinish if you ask me, and the color is great for women of all hues)
L'oreal Lipsticks...I usually get the ones without shimmer. The texture is similar to MAC Lustres and they smell yummy, too
Black Radiance Mosaic Bronzer- this thing is the bomb!!!! I use it in rotation with my high-end bronzers and I prefer this when I want a soft, non-glitterbomby look

HTH!

PS- Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner...I'd never use Blacktrack again!!!! It's thicker, more pigmented, and just luxurious!!!!!!
