About a week ago I jumped into the scary world of trying a different brand. *Gasp* I tried out the brand Almay. I had always grown up with my mom loving Almay but I had never tried it myself. Until now. I bought three products from their line but I haven't tried the other two yet. Anyway, I had bought their Intense i-Color Eye Shadow Softies in the shade "Hot Fudge"

The product claims to be a cushiony eye shadow that is crease free. I tried getting the product out of the pan and it didn't come off with a brush (which was a long shot anyway), but I was oddly shocked when it provided miniscule color payoff with my fingers and even the cheap foam applicators. After I ended up scraping out about half of the product with the foam applicator and trying to work it on my eyes, I could barely see any difference and the color just blended away. Maybe I was just using it wrong but it didn't work with me.

One of my favorite drugstore brands is E.L.F. otherwise known as eyes lips face. Their flawless finish foundation is one of my absolute favorites. It comes in a large variety of skin tones and specifically caters towards the tan range. As a girl who tends to be in the medium/deep skin tone, it's very difficult to find the right shade in the "tan" range because most makeup companies formulate the tan color with neutral undertones and only keep 1 or 2 shades in the medium tone. However, E.L.F. flawless finish foundation has multiple, I happen to be 83114 or Caramel.

The packaging is very sleek with a frosted glass bottle and a matte black top, and best part of it all, it has a pump! The packaging makes the product on the heavier side, making it less-than-convenient for travel. The coverage is on the light/medium side and it has a slight glitter. Don't be scared, it doesn't wear with the glitter, I have no idea where that glitter goes. The formulation is not very thick but it runs on the watery side. One drawback of this foundation however, is that it oxidizes on my skin very fast. I believe that this foundation is a cheaper alternative to the Maybelline Fit Me foundation.
Overall: 4/5

Hey there! Yeah, you. This is just a little short blurb about me. My name is India and I love all things drugstore. I mean who doesn't love getting to try more things for less money. I also love cooking and fashion, so there may be the occasional recipe or trend alert. Hope you enjoy!
