Shhhh, Makeup Junkies drugstore secrets!

Do I have some good dirt for you beautiful ladies! And good dirt is wayyyy better than bad dirt!  So, I want to share with you some of the great little tid bit secrets of your local drugstores, just so your in the know! 

 First of all, twice a year, drugstores incorporate new shades into their cosmetic lines.....look for them usually around January and July!

Second, there are two factories in Germany that produce pencil and liquid lip and eyeliners for luxury AND drugstore brands, and you can bet the farm that they use similar pigments and waxes to make both. Look for German origin on the package, or on the liner itself.

Thirdly, the short shelves on the ends of beauty aisles highlight new products being featured and drugstores change them weekly or bi-weekly. Seasonal collections are usually out for one to two months, if you see a shade you adore, you had better stock up because once their gone....their gone baby!

SKINCARE
~In the skincare aisle, the top shelf is never higher than 60 inches high due to the fact that 80% of skincare shoppers are women and their average height is 5'4".
~Every company wants to be displayed at eye level, but placement is based on popularity with customers, or to highlight new product launches.
~Some cleansers are "staples" so there are more of them than any other product and they are usually on the bottom shelves!

Maybelline has made an easy foundation finder! The new "Fit Me" foundation makes it pretty simple to match you and your perfect foundation color, powder, concealer and powder blush!! Woo-hoo!!!
First the display should have images of all 18 shades on a card beneath the bottles. Slide your inner wrist underneath the cutouts until you find your matching shade.
Second, the foundations are numbered so once you find your foundation, you can grab a matching powder as well that corresponds to your foundation number!!! AND.....to the right of each shade category are corresponding concealers(2) a bronzer, and powder blushes(4)!!!!!   SO EASY GIRLS!!!!!!

  1. The Fit me foundation is... pretty horrible in my opinion. I actually just gave a brand new bottle away to my cousin. There was not one shade that matched me and its super oily.

    Loreal's true match is a much better drugstore brand i'd recommend. :)
