Collab Post || Top 5 UK Drugstore Products

Today I am collaborating with Nancy from FashionCHICsta and she will be doing her Top 5 US drugstore favourites whilst I do my Top 5 UK Drugstore Products, so make sure you go and check out her post too!

So onto my Top 5! In no particular order:

1. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer
I think it is safe to say that nearly everyone loves this! At £4.19 it is a complete bargain and covers everything and to top it all off this lasts all day! It is a cream concealer and comes in 4 shades and if you are ever in the UK/do a swap/do not already own this then you have to pick it up, you will not be dissapointed.

2. Rimmel Stay Matte Powder


This is my favourite drugstore powder, it retails for £3.99 and is the best powder I have tried so far. It keeps me looking matte for a good 3/4 hours before I need to powder again which is fantastic considering how oily my skin is and how hot the weather has been here in England at the moment. It makes you look matte without looking cakey and I picked this up in Translucent so it doesn't change the coverage of my foundation which is great when you want to wear something with lighter coverage.

3. MUA Power Pouts

I am yet to try the Revlon & Bourjois alternatives to these but I really like the MUA Power Pouts, they are lovely and glossy and moisturising, come in 6 different colours and are very affordable. I love their minty smell and I think that for £3 you cannot go wrong.

4. Barry M Nail Paints


I had to think long and hard about whether to choose these or the Models Own Nail Polishes but in the end I decided on these because they are cheaper and I have loved them for longer. There is such a fantastic shade selection and Barry M are really great at keeping up with nail trends by releasing new products regularly and effects such as the crackle effect and sequin and also releasing their new Gelly High Shine Polishes.


5. Maybelline Colour Tattoos
Last but not least, these beauties! I was so excited when they finally released these in the UK and picked up these two shades, although I really want to pick up Pink Gold now too. These are practically waterproof and last so long, and they are gorgeous! I wore On & On Bronze to my Prom and it stayed on all night and I just love these.
