The Ultimate Drugstore Hand Cream List

Confused about which drugstore hand cream to buy? Unsure about which hand moisturizer will actually work for you? Then this post is for you! Keep reading to see my top drugstore hand cream picks!

One thing I noticed when I started getting into the whole makeup thing is that along with makeup, for a lot of people, goes skincare. And I was a bit confused. I mean, makeup is fun. And colorful. And exciting. And all the other adjectives I’m too lazy to think of right now. And skincare is, well, skincare. How exciting can it really be to wash your face?

So I started looking into face washes, and exfoliators, and moisturizers, and all that fun stuff. Not fun as in makeup, but fun as in “all that fun stuff.” It’s a figure of speech, ok?

Peanut butter glazed peanut butter chocolate chip bundt cake

This peanut butter glazed peanut butter chocolate chip bundt cake (wow, that’s a mouthful) is a dense, rich cake bursting with peanut butter flavor.

Okay peeps, today we are continuing on with our series of “the best desserts are peanut butter and chocolate desserts.” Because, as we said previously, chocolate + peanut butter = delicious. It’s science, okay? The formula means it’s true.

C + PB = D

Just call me Einstein.

Anyway, back to peanut butter and chocolate (not that we ever really left.)

Drugstore Mascara, Take Two: essence Lash Princess

Drugstore mascara is very popular nowadays, and for good reason. It is extremely affordable, and performs as well as, if not better, the higher end counterparts. One of the most popular, and cheapest, drugstore mascaras is essence Lash Princess. Is it as good as everyone makes it out to be? Or should you spend a few dollars more and get something better?

No bake peanut butter bars

Four-ingredient, no bake peanut butter bars. Could a dessert get any easier?

If you ask me (and if you didn’t ask me, imma tell you anyway), the best desserts are ones with peanut butter and chocolate. There’s something about that combination that’s just magical. There’s a reason Reese’s is so popular, right?

KathleenLights x Colourpop Dream St Palette: The Truth

Oh, the KathleenLights x Colourpop Dream St palette. I don’t even know what to say about it at this point.

Kidding. I do know what to say about it. I have lots to say about it. What I meant is my opinion changed so drastically on it that I just don’t know what to say.

Is that an expression other people use? Or just me?

Carli Bybel Eyeshadow + Highlighter Palette

 

I’ve been meaning to write a review of the BH Cosmetics X Carli Bybel palette for awhile now. I just never got around to it.

via GIPHY

The palette sits there in my makeup drawer, staring at me accusingly. Why? It is asking. Why can’t you write about me? Don’t you love me?

Well, yes. I do love you, actually.

via GIPHY

I’m just really lazy.

(I mean, this whole blog is ridiculous. Just… don’t tell anyone, ok? And we’ll pretend this is a staid, serious blog. About personal finance or something. Yeah, that’s right. This is a personal finance blog dedicated to helping people get money so they can buy makeup.)

Cheap drugstore foundation – is it any good? Wet ‘n Wild Photo Focus

Liquid foundation is one of those things that is really scary for a makeup newbie. It seems like something professional makeup artists use, not something a regular person should be using on a daily basis.

Or am I the only one who felt that way? I can’t be, right? I’m not the only one who was terrified of foundation?

(don’t tell me if I’m wrong and everyone is cool with liquid foundation. Allow me to enjoy my delusions that the world shares my incompetence, ok?)
