We love trying new makeup, but even the latest TikTok viral product ins’t going to be a win for everyone, right? Here are a few drug store makeup hits and some misses, too!
It’s no secret how much we love to shop for drug store makeup. In fact, just today, I was furiously texting Megan from CVS to see if she had yet seen the new Wet n Wild Collection. I certainly don’t need anything but I couldn’t walk away from grabbing the highlighter powders and cheek tint. What is wrong with me?

Watch our full video of drugstore hits and misses!
Last month, we did a massive drug store haul and both of us are still working our way through the new products. My process is to set everything new aside in a separate container and then periodically pull products out to try. So, when you buy four new foundations and twelve new lip colors, it takes a minute to get through it all. Know what I mean?
What did we love from the drugstore?
There were a lot of products we really liked and we’re sharing a few links below so you can grab your own (Affiliate links ahead. Thanks for clicking through!).
Revlon Kiss Balm is a Win!
First, the Revlon Kiss Balm. I sort of bagged on these when Megan previously shared them because I had been using the Coconut flavor for a few weeks and found they don’t totally moisturize my lips. Yet, I loved the sheer wash of color from the Strawberry flavor. Same goes for Megan. She loved the Cherry and Sugar Plum flavors.
Drugstore Foundation Wins
The number of drug store foundations we try is ridiculous. I raved about the L’Oreal Infallible Pro Glow in this video but it has since been bumped for a brand new favorite that I can’t wait to tell you about in our February favorites!
I’m sure I’ll circle back to the Pro Glow the closer we get to summer. Megan has had so much success from several of Rimmel’s foundations. She loves what the BB cream is doing for her these days.
Perfect those eyebrows!
We are brow enthusiasts and never leave the house without framing our face.
Megan likes using a waxy pencil like the NYX Micro Brow on her fair brows where I prefer a powder.
However, I’ve been looking for more oomph and both the Wet n Wild brow mascara (I still hate they are calling this a mascara!) and Maybelline Brow Precise Volumizer have been fun to play with. I’m still not certain about the shades but I like what they do.
What about those liquid matte lipsticks from Wet n Wild and Jordana? Click on over to our matte lipstick swatch and review video to see us try on several colors.
