Makeup Best In Class

We all know the thrill of cruising the drugstore aisles on our lunch break in search of a quick cosmetic fix that fun lip gloss to wear to happy hour, the latest and greatest mascara to hit the shelves that week or the bright eyeliner to perk up an otherwise dull day.

But it benefits every woman to have a makeup bag filled with those can’t-miss, never-fail items that earn legendary status for one essential reason – they work. Every. Single. Time. It’s less about the price tag (you’ll see Maybelline as well as MAC in my picks) than it is about reliability. More classic Clooney, less fly-by-night Tinder drinks date.
