I mention how I love my drugstore beauty steals all the time but the ones I usually write about seem to be more high in price. It isn’t because I don’t have and love and cherish my less expensive products, it is because I know you are looking up reviews so that you can know if the higher end item is worth the price tag before you spend your hard earned money. Well I wanted to take the time to tell you what I love most from the drugstore that costs less than $5! Here are my 13 Beauty Steals!The best Gel Eyeliner in the word is from Essence and my favorite shade is London Baby. London Baby is a silvery taupe liner that lasts all day and looks gorgeous on. They also have a jet black one that is called Midnight in Paris. They used to have several other shades but I don’t ever see them around anymore. These are serious beauty steals retailing for $3.99
Essence also has crazy amazing lipsticks. I have several and you will be winning if you purchased any of them. They retail for $2.99.
Wet N Wild has great products across the board but if you pick up any of the eyeshadow trios you will not be disappointed. I have 4 or 5 myself and Walking On Eggshells just happens to be my favorite. Honestly… Some of them have exact dupes for Urban Decay Naked Palette eyeshadows, so definitely beauty steals. These retail for $2.99.
Rimmel Waterproof Kohl Kajals are amazing. I have a bunch of different shades to choose from (the favorite being silver) and they go on so smooth and last all day. They vary in price a bit but on average you can get these for $3.99.
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Colors come in a rainbow of shades and they actually do what they say, dry super quick. When I am playing with stamps or just in a hurry and need to do my nails these are what I turn to. The formula is nice and I feel like I can really count on them. Beauty Steals don’t even describe these enough. They have amazing drying time and tons of shades. They retail from $4-$5.
eos lip balms are little circular balls of lip balm. They are fabulous to keep in your purse. Get ready to answer questions when you pull it out in public to use it, I get confused looks every time! These also retail for around $3.50.
E.L.F. Studio Blush & Bronzer Duo is a huge bang for the buck. It is a complete hack for the NARS Orgasm/Laguna duo and it is the tiniest fraction of the price. It has been raved about by all the major bloggers and YT personalities so you don’t have to take it just from me. It retails for $3.
Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara is a product sent from the angels. I have purchased it on 3 different occasions and I always question why I purchased something else in between. I will chock that one up to trying new things for you all. This retails for around $3.
Essence Single Eyeshadows are amazing beauty steals. There are a bunch of shades to choose from and you wont be disappointed in any! I have several but my favorite of all time is Party All Night. It is a gorgeous champagne/bronze/taupe hybrid. It is ultra shiny/metallic and it is amazing. It retails for $2.49.
Jordana FabuLiner is an amazing liquid liner. The first one I ever bought and still one I buy over and over. I have gotten a lot of my friends turned on to this because they all want to know how I do my wingd liners. Now they know and so do you! It retails for around $3.
NYX Blush is the only product I sort of cheated with when I included it in this roundup. It actually retails for about 40 cents more than $5 but I felt ridiculous excluding it for less than half a buck. There are a ton of shades and they are great. They are pigmented (sometimes you need a light hand) and they look great on the skin so they are definitely beauty steals. They retail for $5.39
NYX Concealer In A Jar is amazing stuff. It covers everything you need while looking flawless and light. It doesnt feel heavy either, which is a plus! It retails for $5.
City Color Cosmetics Shadow Primer I have reviewed this primer before and I think a lot of it. It is nice and affordable and I really personally enjoy the ease of the packaging. It retails for $3.
I am so excited about this roundup of products and I would love to hear your feedback if you have used anything on this list. Beauty Steals are sometimes hard to find but these make you want want to repurchase time and time again. What is $5 when you are getting the best quality, anyway!
