I love NYX products especially their lipsticks, I haven't tried the Maybelline Strobing stick but their liquid highlighter is gorgeous.

I've found two good drugstore products. Essence brow pencil and Maybelline Color Tattoo shadows.

I have to try more drugstore products, I've been using high end products for a while now but have heard the quality of drugstore products has improved a lot

Butter gloss is the best gloss hands down, so pigmented and great feeling on the lips

Maybelline Fit Me is a future "must try" for me. I see it recommended here and on other sites, must be a great foundation

I've been using the Fit Me foundation and it's really good. It's medium coverage and last much longer than other drugstore foundations that I've tried.

I've got the concealer - I bought it as an emergency to cover a spot so can't really comment on whether it's good on the whole. The NYX butter gloss sounds rather nice.

I'm wondering why there seems to be Americanism-creep in the terminology used on the beauty heaven website. Things like "bangs" instead of "fringe" and now in this article the US term "drugstore" rather than the more Aussie "chemist" or "pharmacy".

i prefer Natio's bronzing blush over their normal blush, something about the glow with the bronzer in it is awesome

Some good products to try, can we please refer to chemists or pharmacies who calls them drugstores in Australia?

Without sounding rude its hard to know if something is popular because its cheap or good. Like did all the teenagers go and buy it , making it look popular ? I wouldn't of even walked into a high end store back then ha ha.

Never tried any of these. Just in time to put on the christmas list. Drug store make up is just as good in my opinion.

I like lipsticks by NYX but some can be drying so make sure you swatch or try them out at the store!

I have not tried any of these. I keep hearing about Maybelline fitme . I must admit most of my attempts to convert to drugstore makeup have failed

I haven't tried the FitMe original formula but I really like the matte version. It has great coverage and is easy to blend. Although the first time I bought it, I thought it made my skin become dry and flaky. Afterwards it hasn't happened since.

I have the Natio blush in Rosy Glow - so pretty :)
I hate the term 'drugstore', very American, not Australian.

Drug store, sounds like we've gone American. I haven't tried any of those brands products

Good pick up. I agree we are getting very Americanised even if we don't want it. I didn't even blink when I saw the word 'drugstore'.
It is just as bad as when I hear the news talking about 'wild fires' in Australia when the Australian term is 'bush fires.

You can't beat maybelline they always have a great range of products. I especially love using their age rewind concealer. Such good coverage! On lazy days I'll just wear their concealer.

I haven't tried any of these products but I much prefer pharmacy bought cosmetics and skincare. I've recently started using some of the Natio Ageless range which I have found to be excellent.

I haven't tried any of these yet, but the L'Oreal brow Artist looks good. I haven't seen any other brow liners with an inbuilt brush. So may need to pop into priceline and treat myself :)

Excellent for the kids
This is our go to toothpaste for our kids, and we've used several over the years. Nice little tube which is a perfect fit for tiny little hands to hold and squeeze onto their brushes.

Leaves hair smelling nice and soft
Sukin naturals hydrating shampoo smells nice and feels good on the hair. It left my hair feeling soft and smooth. It contains shea butter and coconut. It reduces frizz. It comes in a 500ml bottle.
