Revlon Volumazing Mascara, $8.99
This mascara formula coats lashes evenly without clumping and delivers lifted, defined lashes that are fluttery (but not too over-the-top). The hourglass-shaped brush is great for getting every single lash and we're also suckers for the fun, purple tube.
Sleek Makeup Copperplate Highlighting Palette, $14.99
Seeking a dupe for the latest Becca shades? Sleek has you covered with this copper-themed highlighting palette. The metallic shades are about as high-drama as they come, with a finely-milled texture and a metallic sheen that's in-your-face without ever looking chunky.
This isn't technically available in the drugstore aisle but at $12, there's no denying the fact that it's a steal (Innisfree is a great, moderately priced K-beauty brand, in case you're curious). And with its featherweight texture, glossy finish and gorgeous pop of color, it's definitely the crème de la crème of lip lacquers.
E.L.F. Modern Metals 10-Piece Eyeshadow Palette, $12
Seeking buttery textures and major color payoff? Turns out, you don't have to shell out the big bucks. This shadow palette is home to a mix of luxe metallics and jewel tones with an even more luxe formula.
Demi-matte is the perfect way to describe the finish on this lipstick: It has the drama and polish of a matte but with the volume turned down just a tad. The color payoff is excellent and it wears well, staying vibrant and even.
