5 Drugstore Makeup Products Under $5 That You Need

In This Article:

Anyone who knows me knows I love makeup. Do I own way too much of it? Yes. Will that stop me from buying more? Absolutely not.

I'm also always on the hunt for a good deal, especially when it comes to makeup, but honestly anywhere I can find a good deal, I'm there. These are some awesome makeup products that don't even need to be on sale to be a good deal, and they're so good I would probably spend more than what they cost just to have them!

1. Wet n Wild Photofocus Concealer

This concealer is full coverage, lightweight, easy to blend, and everything anyone wants from a concealer, really. It's also only $3.99!

The shade range is quite small, but if you can find your shade, it's well worth your $4.

2. Essence Lash Princess Mascara

This mascara is long lasting, doesn't flake, super black, and adds lots of volume and length to any eyelashes. It's available at Ulta, and is easily my favorite mascara of all time.

3. Colourpop Super Shock Shadows

Colourpop super shock shadows are cream-to-powder eyeshadows that pack a punch with their insane pigment and reflect. They're available in so many different colors and finishes that there's sure to be one to suit your fancy. These beautiful babies are best applied with the finger, so if you're a beginner to makeup and don't have a lot of brushes, it's a great option!

I've had my eye on this specific shade, Cusp, for a long time now, and I think it's very on-trend at the moment, and an easy, affordable way to step into the world of colorful makeup is to give a $5 eyeshadow a go.

4. Essence Make Me Brow

Another Essence product? Yes!

This is a tinted eyebrow gel that only costs $2.99! Three dollars and an amazing product.

Essence's Make Me Brow eyebrow gel is a super affordable brow product to give sparse hairs some extra love. It's an easy, quick step in the mornings to give your brows a bit of definition, or a great way to set your brows in place after filling them in.

5. Wet n Wild Liquid Catsuit Liquid Lipstick

These liquid lipsticks are only $5, are pigmented, opaque, smooth, and about as comfortable as a matte liquid lipstick can be. My personal favorite is called Flame of the Game, a bright red-orange, but I've not been disappointed in any of these shades!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
