Long Wearing Drugstore Gems!
by Joey | Jan 27, 2015 | Throwback |
Today I wanted to share with you some makeup that I wore out on Saturday night. The look was 100% drugstore, and I was so so impressed with how everything held up throughout the evening. Especially the lipstick.
J and I went out for date night (yay!) to a Draft House. We wanted to sit at the bar, but everything was full so we decided to play pool while we waited. Well, we were having so much fun that we just ordered a bunch of appetizers, some beer, and played the entire evening! And I have to let it be known that I won our first game and then proceeded to suck the rest of the night.
Anyway, we ordered a pitcher of beer, cheese fries, a chicken quesadilla, wings and regular fries (call me captain fatty, whatever, I really like french fries, ha). Anyway, I didn’t really care what my makeup was doing, and had pretty much made my peace with the fact that my lipstick probably looked all wonky from all the greasy food. It (Rimmel Provacolips) claimed to be long wearing (16 hours) but we’ve all heard that before.
Y’all. These pictures were taken (with horrible lighting in my tiny bathroom) at the end of the night just before I washed my face because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I didn’t touch up any of the makeup throughout the evening. And I have the oiliest skin known to man. I never blotted, reapplied, powdered, nothing. These aren’t the greatest pictures ever, but you’ll see what I’m talking about!

I want to talk about the lip product for a second. This is one of those dual ended products that you apply the color, let it dry, then you apply the “gloss.” We’re all familiar with that tight, sticky feeling that these types of products have.
This one doesn’t feel that way.
After everything set, I didn’t feel this stuff on my lips at all (which is a huge part of the reason I’d just assumed it rubbed off). My lips never felt dry or uncomfortable at all. The clear “gloss” feels much more like a moisturizing balm. It isn’t goopy or sticky, it’s incredibly comfortable!
I’ve never been more impressed with a lip product in my entire life. I intend to grab a few more of these. They’re brand new releases, but I’m under the impression they’re limited edition, so be sure to grab a few! I found them at Walgreens!
i love those too–i got them for xmas and recently shared them in a haul a couple of weeks ago. the rimmel i mean. dang i need some coffee!
I love when drugstore makeup holds up because I hate spending tons of money on that stuff. I may just have to try some of the lipstick. I'm in the market, ya know.
Very pretty my friend! Aren't those nights the best, love fun date nights.
You look so pretty! Oh man, I am going to have to go run out and grab those lip colors for sure!!!
I just bought the Rimmel Stay Glossy that are I think 3.99 at Walmart? Anyways, as far as lip glosses go…I really like them! They last a little longer than the other ones I have right now and I love the two colors I got…Captivate Me and there is a nude color that I accidentally ripped the name off but its pretty.
First of all, your hair looks amazing!! So pretty! And I loooove lipsticks, so I'm going to have to try this one! Thanks for the tip!
Hello sweet girl! I feel like I haven't read a blog in weeks! I tend to be a makeup snob, but I love that drugstore makeup is starting to step up their game. Everything looks great, your skin looks flawless! <3 <3
You look gorgeous! I will have to give that lipgloss a try, especially if it lasts that long. Glad you had a fun date night!

Wow, that is really impressive!! You look beautiful too, your hair is amazing!! Glad that you guys had a fun date night! 🙂
Long-wearing drug store finds are so fulfilling to me. 😛
You're hot stuff! Yay for date night. Yay for makeup that stays in place! Yay for you being awesome.
Drug store finds like that are the best!
Rimmel for the win lately! Thanks for the heads up of that new lip product. That is totally how I judge them as well….that sticky factor so good to know that is not the case!
I love GOOD drugstore makeup, and I've heard such mixed reviews about these Rimmel Provocalips but I'm glad to hear they're pretty good! I'll have to check them out…lately I've just been so obsessed with my Maybelline lipsticks!
Might give this a try. Satisfying products that don't cost much are the best!
It all looks fantastic! I got a Rimmel lipstick in a voxbox last year and thought it was a fantastic formula even if the color wasn't for me. So they must be doing something right over there in London! I'll have to look for these during my next Ulta trip.
I think you've sold me on the Rimmel lip product – and you can't beat that price! Glad you two had a fun date night!
this is amazing! you look gorgeous, and what a fun date night (girl you and me should start a fries club. yum!) and yes i am buying that lip thingy immediately.
I love drugstore products! My go-to brand is NYX but NYC is a good one, too.
Sounds like you had a great night on all fronts!
I'll have to check out the lip product…you took the words out of my mouth: they're usually so sticky.
Awe, we used to play a lot of pool. That's how Scott and I met. I miss it!
Wow that is really impressive! I definitely want to check out that lip product, I hate the sticky feeling most glosses have so I would love to find one that isn't sticky and lasts!
I'm incredibly amazed at how well the lipstick held up, that's a good buy for sure! xo, Biana – BlovedBoston
I will definitely have to try that lipstick because mine never seems to last as long as I need it to! It's great finding drugstore products that actually work well. Great finds!
You look gorgeous! I definitely need to get that lip product asap– but I need to know, how is your hair still so perfect?! It seriously looks like you just walked out of the salon or a fashion shoot or something!
Wow! I can't believe how well it held up. I have oily skin too so I understand the frustration of your makeup looking like a grease pit!
You look gorgeous, girl!!!!!!!!!!
Rimmel Stay Matte is the SHIT! I swear by it!
