Have you ever wondered like me if drugstore makeup is the same as designer makeup just less expensive?
Well I took the test when my Laura Mercier blush, Wild Bouquet ran out. Sometimes I feel like maybe I am getting ripped off when I head to a department store to buy my $15 and up "special" makeup when I could possibly buy drugstore brands in the same shade and save some change.
Don't get me wrong, I love going into Sephora and having fun with all the possibilities, but for every day use why not save a little $$$ and get more bang for my buck?
Instead of buying one blush for $24.00 I tried to match the color of my Wild Bouquet Laura Mercier to Covergirl's products.
Here is what I look like with the Laura Mercier blush on:
The Covergirl blush I found is called Rose Silk. Not exactly the same deepness but it was the best color that matched, not too light but also peach colored.
So far I am really loving the Covergirl blush! I honestly love it more because its brighter, happier, and the peach seems to really look natural on me. Here is my final look wearing the Cover girl product:
And like I said, because the Covergirl products are not expensive I treated myself to a new lipstick by Covergirl as well, Roseberry!
Yay for saving a little change but finding two great products to add to my daily makeup routine!

Hey Midgie!!
ReplyDeleteI love the makeup it looks BEAUTIFUL!! The only difference I usually see between my department store make up and drug store make up, is that the department store one usually stay on longer.
Miss your face!!
