L'Oreal Paris, The Real Deal

while i have been a fan of using drugstore makeup for ages there are definitely products that stick out in my mind as noteworthy. one such noteworthy drugstore makeup brand would be L'Oreal Paris HIP Studio Secrets. ah maze ing. 

in the world of Grail or Fail? these were a definite Grail.  this shadow stick glides on smoothly and does not budge.  use it as an eyeshadow, a primer, a highlighter, or even a nude lipstick.  this will stay put. 

MAC has a similar product and i own one from each brand.  while they each work well, i don't have a strong preference of one over the other.  in the land of drugstore makeup, you don't often find products that can hold their own against department store brands. 

give it a shot.  you might be pleasantly surprised.
