I thought of something else I love! My favorite eyeshadows are the Revlon Color Stay quads, and the Loreal quads. They have some good color palettes and the quality is really great. I recently ordered a big set of Smash Box eyeshadows from Sephora and they don’t compare to my drugstore favorites!

I swear by Neutrogena Fresh Foaming facial cleanser. Believe me when I say I’ve tried close to every cleanser at all price points. It’s about $7.

I also love the Revlon Color Stay eyeliner pencils you mentioned. I buy them when they’re half off and stash them everwhere – car, purse, work. I like the black-brown color.

My absolute favorite drugstore find is Physicians Formula Cover Tox Ten Wrinkle Therapy Face Powder in Translucent Light. I keep it in my purse for touch ups. It never looks cakey and doesn’t emphasize fine lines. I am 42 and have the dreaded t-zone area.

I love Maybelline Full & Soft mascara. I’ve tried department store mascaras, but I always go back to this one. I also recommend the Patene “texturizing” line of styling products for short hair. Both the sculpting wax and the pomade are fabulous, and so much cheaper than salon brands. Finally, I’ve been very please with Purpose face wash. It’s very gentle and it removes my makeup completely.

L’Oreal HIP (high intensity pigments) jelly balms. I like Ripe and Delectable.

I also love Lash Blash mascara by Cover Girl, my only complaint is I don’t feel like it lasts very long.

I swear by those Clean & Clear oil absorbing sheets, and fully intend on carrying my pack with me when we head South next month. What’s crazy (and awesome), too, is how long they last. I’ve had my current pack for what feels like years. (It’s not, though, I promise.)

(Also: I totally want to try that lip balm.)

I refuse to buy department store mascara because my lashes are so long that I go through a tube (is that what you call a mascara thing?) every two weeks. CoverGirl Lash Exact is where it’s at. $8.

Cetaphil face wash – it’s really gentle and takes off my eye makeup easily. I also love almost everything Eucerin makes – the SPF 30 face lotion, the SPF 15 body lotion, and the calming creme for settling down my dry, itchy skin in the middle of winter.

I’ve also switched over to using Revlon products over the last year and really like some of them (the Beyond Natural mascara and eyeliner and the Colorstay sheer lipliner and eyeshadows).

Most of my stuff comes from the drugstore, but the only product I buy religiously is Maybeline Great Lash Mascara (the one in the pink and green tube) in Blackest Black. I’ve tried others, but always come back to this basic.
