Please help me out!!

I recently entered a contest for my favorite brand of makeup, Bobbi Brown. She's looking for her next "Pretty Powerful" face for her next ad campaign...

Here's what happens..

There will be one winner (with the most votes) from each state. Those semi finalists will win a $100 gift card and also are the semi finalists that Bobbi Brown herself will select the winner from.

I'm currently in the lead for my state of Nebraska and would really love your vote! The contest ends on November 11 and you only have to vote once, and there's no signing up for anything. When you click on the link, you just have to hit vote.

I really would appreciate your vote (and one from any computer, ipad, phone etc!) All you have to do is hit VOTE!

Drugstore Beauty

As much as I love make-up, I don't want to spend a ton of money on it these days because although I'm a pageant girl, I really dislike putting on tons of make-up each day. I like to just put on some foundation, mascara, a little blush and lip gloss and be done. I'll be honest I never really gave many of the products at    Walgreen's a second look till I started watching YouTube videos and learning how much all makeup products are alike; it doesn't really matter the name brand on it. So, I decided to give these a try...

Wet n Wild 3 Color Palettes

I saw this on a Youtube channel I love to watch called Beauty Broadcast. She has this in one of her videos as a dupe to three MAC eyeshadows. MAC eyeshadows are currently my favorite. Out of all the eyeshadows I've ever used, MAC seems to have the best staying power for me. This Wet n Wild palette was a great find for me. I paid around $3 for it and I love that it tells you where each shade should go. I'm pretty bad at figuring out what colors to use for my crease and lid. This palette has a nice natural finish to it and it has a hint of shimmer. Overall, I really liked these shadows. They had a staying power similar to MAC.

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick

I saw these as well on Beauty Broadcast, and I believe she had it as a dupe for the MAC Viva Glam. I recently discovered Viva Glam and absolutely love it (more to come on that in another post). This drugstore alternative is a favorite of mine now too. It was very creamy which I like in a lip gloss and they had a nice variety of nude and pinky nude shades which are my favorite. I think I paid around $5 for this one. 

I've found some other new beauty and makeup channels to watch on YouTube and I have a loooooong list of other drugstore products I want to try! Any suggestions on any great drugstore finds I should try?
