Drugstore Makeup Jackpot


Hello Dolls!

If you guys know anything about me, its that I L O V E Target!! In all seriousness I am there 3-4 days a week! So a few weeks ago I was at Target and decided to walk by the makeup isle. 

*For the record I am not a makeup person..I will wear makeup but typically only drugstore makeup. If it isn't drugstore then I don't buy it because I personally rather spend my money elsewhere.*

So as I'm walking I get bombarded by this sales associate for some makeup company. If it's one thing I absolutely can't stand is when people try to sell me something when I am not there to specifically buy that product. I had some extra time on my hands so I let the associate show me all of the products this brand had to offer. 

The brand, which originated in England,  is called Boots; and this company has so many different sub brands connected. The one at Target was No. 7 (their makeup brand) and Botanics (skin care). Let me start off by saying that within the two weeks I have seen MAJOR improvement to my skin and I am so happy that I took the time to listen about this product. I would wake up every morning with even better skin than the night before!! I have oily acne prone skin (ew I know) so finding really good drugstore makeup has always been difficult for me. 

Botanics Skin Care


Daily foaming facial cleanser and toner designed to make you feel refreshed and make your face matte to get rid of that shine!

Used this scrub/mask twice a week in the evening and it did a great job "deep cleaning" my skin.

Daily matte facial moisturizer with spf 15!
*The only moisturizer to leave my skin feeling hydrated and breakout free*

No. 7 Makeup 

No. 7 has a few different foundations that meet the 
A M A Z I N G matte primer!! A little goes a long way. Created a great base to put my makeup over. 

I couldn't believe the coverage I was receiving with this foundation AND its spf 15!! The color is "cool beige". 

This under eye concealer (I got the lighter of the two available) works like a charm!

Pressed powdered blush in the color "Soft Damson"

Moisture drench lipstick in the color "Blush" (I wish there was more variety in colors)
**Sidenote: THIS LIPSTICK MOISTURIZES BETTER THAN SOME LIP BALMS**


Loose face powder in the color "fair". They only have two colors: "Fair" and "Translucent". These colors work on any skin tone because they are so sheer. "Fair" has a matte finish and "Translucent" has small hints of sparkle in it. 

The number one thing I have to say about this product is that less is more. This product is meant for a little to work a significant amount. I have to say after using Boots products I am throughly pleased and would honestly recommend this to anyone who has sensitive or troubled skin. All of these products were amazing and I am so surprised these are drugstore products!!

The products I listed were only from the "matte" collection. There are so many other products from this company. I would also like to note I am not a "makeup or skin specialist" and that I am writing this blog based out of trying this product from experience. This product may or may not be for you, but I thought I would share my drug store discovery with you guys so if you think this may be a product for you then you can try it out!



Till next time XOXO,
