One of the go-to mascaras in your local drugstore is this mascara by Maybelline.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Concealer Treatment

This undereye concealer is the number one thing that all beauty lovers would pick if they had to only choose only one product to use for the rest of their lives.

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm

This matte balm is a dupe for Clinique's Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm, but at a much cheaper price. The greatest part of this balm is that it doesn’t dry out your lips. It’s super moisturizing, yet it gives off a matte finish.
