Drugstore Makeup Favorites on Sale
TirTir Mask Fit Cushion Foundation
TirTir markets this as a medium to full coverage, weightless foundation with a soft satin finish and I can say that is really spot on with my experience. It’s designed to give you that “glass skin” look that is been popular in Korea for many years and is now trending heavily in the US market. Glass skin is the term coined to describe skin that looks like glass. Shiny, smooth and almost translucent in its clarity. This foundation definitely delivers somewhat on this claim for as much as real skin can actually look like glass. A bit of hyperbole but the foundation really does smooth out and hide imperfections in the most amazing way.
L’Oreal True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum
As I have gotten older, I definitely find that lightweight foundations and skin tints look better on my face. I have tried this Tinted Serum Foundation before but had the wrong shade so this time I got the correct shade and fell in love with it even more. It’s designed to be lightweight skin tint with skincare benefits – most specifically hyaluronic acid which helps hydrate the skin. It’s not thin and runny like a serum and has a thicker texture much like a foundation. But product names aside, the texture is still lightweight and super easy to blend. It truly feels like I am not wearing anything on my skin – so weightless! (Full review here)
L’Oreal True Match Serum Concealer
I have a few serum concealers in my collection that are all quite amazing so I was not sure how this drugstore version would compare. Like the Tinted Serum Foundation, the L’Oreal True Match Radiant Serum Concealer contains skincare ingredients that helps to hydrate and smooth the under eye area. It’s can be used anywhere on the face that you want to conceal. I had high hopes for this concealer after loving both the foundation and tinted serum and I am happy to say that it lived up to my expectations. (Full review here)
Out of all my lip picks, this is the most traditional type of lipstick and formula. It’s a creamy satin texture that gives medium to full(ish) coverage but still feels so smooth and comfortable on my lips. This is a one swipe lipstick and it lasts the longest out of all the options I have in this post. The shade I love in this is Dirty Talk.
For $7, these are one of the best lip formulas around! They give sheer to medium coverage and the pigment is very rich. Some glosses or lipstick/gloss formulas won’t deliver the exact color on the tube to your lips. It will be duller, less intense or a sheer wash of it. But these NYX Professional Butter Glosses really look exactly like the color on the packaging. The NYX Butter Gloss is a top seller for good reason. It’s never sticky or tacky and wears beautifully on its own or layered over a lip liner or lipstick.
L’Oreal Glow Paradise Lip Balm-in-Gloss
I’ve been wearing these for a few years and they are still some of my favorite lip formulas. These balm-in-gloss give good pigment and can be built up to be slightly more medium coverage. The L’Oreal Glow Paradise Hydrating Lip Balm-in-Gloss is infused with hyaluronic acid and pomegranate extract that help to condition them throughout the day.
I want all the hyaluronic acid in my facial skincare and ALSO in my lip products! Hyaluronic acid is one of my favorite skincare ingredients because of its ability to maintain moisture and plump the surface of whatever it is applied to. In this case, the Maybelline Lifter Gloss is chock full of hyaluronic acid which will help smooth and hydrate the surface of the lips. While also minimizing the appearance of any lines. The shine on the Lifter Gloss is worth mentioning as well because it makes my lips look like glass without any tackiness.
L’Oreal Glow Paradise Balm-in-Lipstick
The formula is truly the best of both worlds. It’s a lipstick that wears and feels like a moisturizing lip balm. Whether you wear makeup or not, I definitely think the L’Oreal Glow Paradise Balm-in-Lipstick is a lip product that almost everyone would love. It’s quite sheer which makes it easy to throw on and go and it’s gentle enough for sensitive lips. I have a few colors in this formula but my favorite by far is Peach Charm. It’s a vibrant bright coral in the tube but goes on like a subtle hint of peach color.
Wow. Wow. Just wow. Every time I wear this foundation, I am blown away by how beautiful it looks on my skin. The color match is perfect, the coverage is buildable, it feels weightless on the skin and is very long wearing. The finish looks skin-like without being too glowy or too matte. You can build this foundation up to be more medium coverage or sheer it out to be quite light.
If you want to add a bit of shine and moisture to the cheeks without disrupting your powder bronzer or blush, dab the L’Oreal Lumi Glotion (I wear shade Fair) to the high points of the cheekbones. It gives a radiant glow without being too shiny. I apply it either with my fingers or big fluffy brush. It can also be worn as an all over primer under your foundation but I use it the most as a highlighter. It gives my skin the perfect amount of radiance while still looking like skin.
If you love the Lumi Glotion, you will probably love the Lumi Liquid Blushes. They are hydrating and creamy while still delivering a ton of pigment and intensity. I like to apply them onto a makeup mixing palette and work off that so I can control the amount I am putting on.
I will forever be a one and done eyeshadow gal and these shadow sticks are absolute perfection! They are smoooth, creamy, long lasting and come in a ton of everyday wearable shades. I also recommend these to any one that struggles with crepey lids because they show very little texture and have a subtle blurring effect.
This is my newest discovery but after only ONE USE, it has shot up to this elite group of favorite foundations. It is considered a BB cream but provides coverage like a true foundation. It gives medium coverage yet still manages to feel like I’m wearing nothing on the skin. Additionally, it is one of my longest wearing foundations! I will put it on in the morning and it doesn’t budge until I take it off at night. It gives my skin the creamiest and smoothest finish out of this entire group and it provides sun protection too. The only downside to this is the limited shade range. I use both shade 21 and 23 and find they can both work separately or even mixed together. However, the formula and the way it makes my skin looks does override this for me but I did want to mention that.
Skincare Favorites on Sale
I’ve been using this cleansing balm for 10 years and it’s still my tried and true favorite. It’s worth every penny but it’s always on sale during Prime Day so now is the perfect time to grab one.
I use this cleansing balm more as a treatment than to remove my makeup. The indigo formulation helps to soothe and nourish the skin more intensely. I like to massage this on as a second cleanse, leave on for a minute or two and then rinse off.
Medik8 Liquid Peptides Advanced MP
This is a newer more potent peptide serum recently launched by Medik8. It is designed to significantly smooth and reduce deep wrinkles and fine lines with both immediate and long term results. I have really enjoyed using this and find it similar in performance to the Educated Mess Freeze Frame. You can definitely see an instant smoothing effect to the skin where it looks firmer and fine lines are minimized. I love that it is also formulated to help slow down or prevent future wrinkles from forming or deepening.
Biodance Collagen Gel Toner Pads
I was obsessed with the Mediheal Collagen Ampoule Pads as a daily toner to give a boost of hydration to my skin after cleansing. I was about to repurchase them but saw these and decided to order them to compare. I’ve been using these every single day after cleansing and am IN LOVE with them! Even more than the Mediheal pads. They are a very different texture than what I am used to but absolutely love the jelly-like feel to them. They instantly plump and hydrate my skin and you can also leave them on for a few minutes as a mini sheet mask treatment. These will absolutely be a repurchase!
I like to “skin flood” which is layering multiple toners one after the other to help boost hydration. I pour them into my hands and then pat into the skin. This is my favorite lightweight milky toner and really nourishes my skin and calms it almost instantly.
I will alternate between two different vitamin c serums each morning. The Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe is closer to a face oil texture so I will reach for this on the mornings that my skin may feel a bit drier. I’ve have been using this vitamin c serum for more than a year and love the formulation of it.
L’Oreal Revitalift Under Eye Serum
I wanted to add a bit more hydration to my under eye area so I have been layering this hyaluronic acid serum underneath my daily eye cream. It’s super lightweight and doesn’t disrupt anything I layer on top of it. But it does give a really great boost of moisture to that area which has made a huge difference in how my eyes look and feel.
Medik8 Advanced Day Ultimate Protect SPF 50+
This is a new launch from Medik8 and has quickly become a regular presence in my morning skincare routine. The formula is lightweight but intensely nourishing and leaves my skin so dewy and fresh. If you have oily or combination skin, this may be a bit too emollient for you but those with dry or mature skin will LOVE it. It is also the perfect base to wear under makeup.
This is final serum I will use in my evening routine after I apply my retinol serum. On the nights I skip my retinol serum, I will simply go from the Dr. Diamond Instant Plasma serum to this and finish with my moisturizer. This has been a long time favorite peptide serum that both hydrates and plumps! If you want to combine both a hydrating formula with a targeted fine line treatment, this is a great choice.
Medik8 Total Moisture Daily Face Cream
I still like to end each evening skincare routine with a rich moisturizer but this isn’t as thick as the ones I use in the winter. This moisturizer is a tad bit lighter in texture but still gives my skin a deep hydration. In addition to hydrating the skin, it helps to strengthen and support the skin barrier.
I only use face masks a few times a week but this one is a must have at least once. I will apply after all of my skincare is on and leave it on for 4-5 hours. Some people sleep in them but I prefer to wear it during the day. I usually apply it on the weekend and it does wonders at giving my skin a nourishing and plumping treatment.
Clarins Cryo-Flash Instant Lift Effect & Glow Boosting Mask
This mask is a combination of great results and a product that is enjoyable to use. It’s designed to tighten, firm and give the skin a glow which it definitely does. It’s also super cold and has a menthol/cooling sensation to it that I absolutely love. I use this as needed when my skin needs to look its best for a night out or special occasion.
The TirTir Ceramic Milk Ampoule is a 3-in-1 milky serum designed to provide skin barrier support, deep hydration and nourishment for the skin. I love a creamy milky serum in my skincare routine so I had high hopes for this. After the first time trying it, I fell in love with the way it made my skin feel and look. Since my skin has progressively been getting drier and slightly more dull looking, I seek out products that help to moisturize my skin but also leave it looking glassy and dewy.
This serum is absolutely perfect for those who love a glowy slightly glazed finish to the skin. I will layer it under a moisturizer most of the time which does tone down the glass-skin finish it leaves on the skin. But that nourishment and intense hydration is still there. It’s become something I reach for regularly. And I plan to repurchase as soon as I finish the bottle.
La Roche-Posay Hydrating Gentle Cleanser
This cleanser could fall both in the dry skin and sensitive skin category because of how gentle and nourishing it is. It’s a cream texture that feels moisturizing and soothing yet still gives the skin a really deep clean. Some of the key ingredients are the La Roche-Posay thermal spring water which is rich in antioxidant properties. Additionally there is ceramide-3 which is a natural component of the skin barrier and glycerin which moisturizes and hydrates the skin. As someone who really focuses on protecting and strengthening my skin barrier, this cleanser is a must have!
EltaMD UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46
This is a long time favorite sunscreen and a regular repurchase for me. I prefer the clear version but there is a tinted version as well. I love wearing it under makeup but it is also the sunscreen that I bring with me to the beach/park etc because it gives such great sun protection. And I also like to recommend this sunscreen for anyone that has acne prone skin, rosacea or hyperpigmentation.
Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50
I’ve heard so many great things about this tinted SPF so I’m not sure why it took me so long to try it – but I am HERE NOW FOR IT!!! I can now understand why this has so much buzz surrounding it because the formulation is 10/10. This is a tinted SPF that goes on white and then transforms into a skin tone shade when you blend it in. The coverage is more than any other SPF with a slight tint in this list so you can wear it as a true makeup or skin tint. The finish is VERY dewy and glowy which I personally love because my skin is more dull and dry these days but it may not be a good option for those with oily skin. It wears beautifully throughout the day and also works well underneath makeup as a great base or primer.
I may have mentioned these eye patches before but I felt the need to include them in my Prime Day post because I love them that much. These are under eye patches that DO NOT move. I have tried dozens of eye patches and almost all of them slip and slide around my face. These feel hydrating, soothing and stay in place until you remove them.
Nightlight (updated version)
I bought this for Miles a few years ago and we still use it EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. This exact model is no longer available but they have updated it and made it look a bit better but it still performs the same way. Out of all the toys and things I have purchased Miles over the years, this may be one of the best things and the one we use the most. It’s perfect for kids of all ages – not just for the little kiddos.
My girlfriend recommended this carpet cleaner to me because I wanted something to deep clean my carpets at home. This is AMAZING and removed nearly every stain even if it was yearssss old. A must have for every home!

Both myself and Miles love these. You place one on the floor of the shower and they dissolve and release the most amazing spa-like scent as you wash.

We upgraded our air fryer to this one because it has two baskets so we can cook separate things at the same time. It’s a life saver.
I already repurchased this self tanner. So easy to apply on damp skin and it doesn’t smell like self tanner.
I wear this every time I go on a walk. I bought it after seeing a menopause doctor I follow on social media recommend it for helping with bone density in perimenopausal and menopausal women.
A rechargeable lighter for my candles. Every time I gift someone a candle, I gift this with it.
I bought this for Stan to help with sinus pressure and headaches. It is heated and massages the eye area and temples. It’s absolutely a game changer for headaches and sinus pain!
Amazing for sore feet!
These are the puffs I use to apply my pressed powder and they are fantastic! So velvety smooth and the perfect shape.
I’ve been buying this for 4 years because nothing makes my feet as smooth as this.
