The most important things to buy high end are things that will directly effect the health of your hair and skin. While high end mascara might flake less and last longer, it isn’t healthier for you than anything you can buy at Target. That is the big key. There are some things that I never recommend getting at the drugstore, and others that you can get away with. Here is that list!
Drugstore:
Mascara
I recommend Revlon 3D Photo Ready Mascara
Eyeliner
NYX or Covergirl pencils are my favorite here!
Blush
I like Maybelline’s Fit Me Blushes
Lipstick
I think Revlon’s Colorstay Moisture Stain is great!
HairsprayHonestly TRESemme, Suave and Herbal Essance all work the same. I like High End hairspray better because it hold better and isn’t as crunchy but you aren’t hurting your hair by using Suave.
High End:Foundation
I love Mary Kay, but most high end foundations are great
Skin Care
Once again, Mary Kay has my heart, but I also Clinique and Estee Lauder
Shampoo & Conditioner
TIGI Urban Antidotes, Healthy Sexy Hair and Redken products all have my stamp of approvalLeave-in Conditioners
Have you heard of Uniq One? Because if you haven’t you need too!
Heat Protectants

Eye Shadow
Okay maybe this one should be in the other section. It’s just that high end eye shadows are SO MUCH BETTER! They have higher pigmentation and they last longer than drugstore brands. No it won’t hurt you to buy them at Walmart and it isn’t healthier to use high end ones here, but I honestly can’t think of a single drugstore eye shadow I like. I recommend Urban Decay and La Femme Eye Shadows.
