Nothing is better than affordable & amazing makeup and products! Here's a list of my favorite drugstore makeup that is super affordable and works as well as high end products!

Read head for my favorite drugstore makeup!

NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder in 720 Sunny -$2.99

New - So packaging is better looking.

E.L.F Studio Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder - $3.00

Old - so packaging is worn out.


Keep in mind that I use these products to contour, so that is how i'll review them! :)

Packaging: Both of these products are compact, you can keep them in your purse for on the go touch ups!

They both contain mirrors inside, so that's a plus for both.

Shimmer VS Matte: The downside to E.LF is the shimmer! When contouring, you don't want shimmer, but it's very slight so it works for me! The NYC is matte, so that's a plus for NYC.

Long lasting? I found that ELF lasts me all day, whereas NYC lasts only a few hours. However, I do think this is because NYC is a bit light on my tan skin tone.

How it applies? I find that the NYC barely applies on my skin (again, probably because I'm tan).  I did have to go over my face a couple of times to get my desired pigment. Try ELF if you want more definition. ELF applies very well and is very pigmented.

Color: *My hand is darker than my face. However, I still find that the ELF shows up more on me. ELF is more brown, whereas NYC is more orange. I think if you are lighter than me, you should definitely try NYC. If you are more my skin tone, definitely ELF.
Right: ELF
Left: NYC 
Sorry it's kind of blurry guys I'm still getting used to this!
