Best and Worst Drugstore Products of 2012

Hello lovelies, the lovely Nuala tagged me to do this post and I think it's a really great post so I decided to do it.

1. What was your favourite drugstore makeup brand of 2012?
There has been many good brands this year, i've loved Revlon for there Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains, L'oreal for Lip glosses, Sleek for Blushes, Rimmel London Kate Moss Lipsticks and MUA for Eyeshadow Palette's.

2. What are your least favourite products of 2012?
17 Hide Away Concealer Cream, it's not the best concealer for covering anything up and it's not very long lasting, the black bit at the top all the black comes off so it's very annoying, I do love MUA lipsticks but the shade Juicy is a light orange which is too pale for me, AKA duo you can buy this online not from the drugstore but the light shade isn't very pigmented and blue's aren't colours I use very often.

 3. What is the best makeup bargain of 2012?
MUA the normal range is amazing everything is only £1 but such good quality it's very long lasting and pigmented.

4. Show your best drugstore dupe for 2012.
I have a few good dupes the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains are a dupe for Clinique Chubby Sticks, MUA Undressed Palette is a dupe for the Naked Palette, Revlon Colourburst Lipstick in Blush is a dupe for MAC Hug Me.

 5. Which drugstore product did you buy in 2012 that wasn't worth the hype?
The Revlon Lip Butters, I do really like them there very moisturising and good for summer when you don't want to wear lipstick but the lighter shades aren't as pigmented and not very long lasting, there overpriced at £7.99 for a tinted lip balm and you get cheaper options that are better quality.

6. What product wins your award for Best Drugstore Product of 2012?
It's between the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains and Real Technique Brushes, the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains are very pigmented, moisturising and very long lasting, the Real Technique Brushes are great quality and reasonable priced, my favourite brushes are the Stippling Brush and the Buffing Brush.

I tag you all to do your best and worst drugstore products of 2012.

Happy New Year to you all.

    I must agree MUA is incredible for the price!!

    So glad I didn't buy the lip butters as I've seen many negative reviews now the hype has passed!

    I'm obsessed with the Revlon Just Bitten Balm Stains, and I completely agree about the lip butters being over hyped for what they are. I'm a new follower from Twitter :)

    I agree with you on the Revlon Lip Butters, I bought Cupcake on a whim when it was on sale for around $5 but I still regret it, it's not moisturizing enough for my incredibly dry lips in the winter -_-

    Happy New Year! x
