Beauty Bests- Best Makeup at the Drugstore
It’s easy to be a makeup lover and get discouraged by the price tag of highly talked about products. Most of us don’t have the expendable money to purchase luxury beauty items on a regular basis. And most of us aren’t getting sent PR packages. Back in the day when I first fell in love with makeup, I got stuck in this way of thinking that I couldn’t afford quality products, and in turn, my makeup would never be as flawless as the Influencers I was tuned in to at the time. As time passed and I dove deeper into my new-found obsession, I quickly found out how wrong I was (Thank God!)
