Firstly, Happy 2018 to you all! Thank you for your continuous support in 2017, and I can only hope that you stick around and help me build up my blog brand even more in 2018 :) Secondly, let's get down to business! So Dischem announced that their having an "up to 50% off" cosmetic sale till the 14 January, so I'm about to give you the low-down on what my top product picks are, so that you can have an easier time when picking your products. After all - what's better than some self spoils to the start of 2018? Let's get started! Okay so, the way I've done this post, is that I selected the best products to achieve a full face of makeup from. So from primer to setting spray - I've got you covered! All you need to do is select which products you'll be buying from this huge sale! 1. BLACK OPAL INVISIBLE OIL BLOCKING MATTIFIER PRIMER BLACK OPAL : INVISIBLE OIL BLOCKING MATTIFIER | GEL MATTIFIANT | R230.00 If you have oily skin and is looking for a mattifying skin primer, then this is your new go-to! I've been using this product for a month now and I must say that I'm quite impressed with how this primer works. One thing that I love about the Black Opal brand is that that they create products specifically targeted to oily skin, and that is why I will always trust this brand to take care of my oily T-zone situation. This product is my definite go-to for the summer. The only thing I would change about this product is its size because it is a small tube and for R230 I expected a lot more with regards to size. However, it really controls my face shine throughout the day - so I'm happy! 2. MAYBELLINE FIT ME FOUNDATION MAYBELLINE FIT ME FOUNDATION | MATTE PORELESS | SHADE: 330 | R99.95 I've really been loving this lightweight, full coverage, matte foundation from Maybelline. It's my summer go-to foundation, especially for those days when you want to achieve a subtle makeup no-makeup look. This foundation looks flawless on my skin and I absolutely love it. It's currently my fave drugstore foundation. Add the Maybelline Fit Me matte powder to finish and you're good to go! Extra matte all day! If you want more details about this foundation then check out my Blog Post about it, just click here: maybelline-fit-me-foundation.html 3. L.A. GIRL PRO CONCEAL L.A. GIRL PRO CONCEAL | H.D. HIGH-DEFINITION CONCEALER | R59.95 These babies are my fave concealers ever, mostly because they are so multi-functional! The main shades I use are: Fawn, Warm Honey, Orange Corrector & Yellow Corrector. Here's the breakdown on what I use each shade for:
4. ESSENCE EYEBROW STYLE SET ESSENCE EYEBROW STYLE SET | SHADE: 01 NATURAL BRUNETTE STYLE | R51.95 Mind how messy this brow kit looks now, but I swear, doing your brows has never been easier with this amazing product. I love this Essence Eyebrow Style Set powder because it's so quick and easy to use, which also makes it beginner friendly! The set comes with two shades to choose from, a mini angle brush to fill your brows, three brow stencils and, a little pamphlet that helps guide you to doing your brows. I mean what could be better! And it's all for the price of R51.95!? I'm SOLD! The brow compact comes in two shades to choose from which is: 01 Natural Brunette Style & 02 Natural Blonde Style. 5. ESSENCE : THE CUSHION EYELINER ESSENCE : THE CUSHION EYELINER | SHADE : 01 BLACK | R65 If you're looking for a great eyeliner then go for the Essence Cushion Eyeliner. I never knew how to properly archive a sharp eyeliner until I started working with this product. I absolutely love the precise wings I get from this eyeliner, and the fact that it's easy to use and work with makes it all the better. It's a mattifying eyeliner, so you do need to work fast with it as it dries down quick. All in all - this is my favorite drugstore eyeliner. 6. CATRICE : COLLECTION EYESHADOW PALETTE CATRICE COSMETICS | COLLECTION EYESHADOW PALETTE | R99.95 If you're looking for some stunning eyeshadow palettes then look no further than Catrice! Their Multi-coloured Collection Eyeshadow Palette will have you in awe from first sight. I love these eyeshadow palettes because of their stunning shade range and pigment payout. These shades are so long lasting and are perfect for the summer days - especially if you're into those bronzey golden and warm pink shades! They are also beginner friendly as they are easy to work with and blend out fantastically.

GIRL PRO.FACE | H.D. HIGH-DEFINITION PRESSED POWDER MATTE PRESSED POWDER | SHADE : TRUE BRONZE | R150 - R180 (Estimated Price) The L.A. Girl Pro Face Matte Powder has been my go-to powder on an everyday basis for a while now. I absolutely love how lightweight this powder looks and feels on my skin, and it also gives me that full coverage, airbrushed matte look - WHICH I LIVE FOR! This product is a definite must have, and I'll be sure to repurchase it when I'm out. 8. L.A. GIRL PRO CONTOUR POWDER L.A. GIRL PRO CONTOUR POWDER | SHADE: TAN | R120 - R200 (Estimated Price) The L.A. Girl Pro Contour Powder comes with both a highlight and contour shade which makes it super convenient to have and to use. I love using this product for an everyday easy going contour and highlight so it's nothing dramatic (however, it can be if you want - that's what I love about it!). Its quick and easy to use and blends in beautifully. It's also beginner friendly. Just make sure you have the right brushes and you're good to go!

BLACK OPAL : INVISIBLE OIL BLOCKING LOOSE POWDER BLACK OPAL : INVISIBLE OIL BLOCKING LOOSE POWDER | COLOUR FREE FORMULA | MATTE FINISH | R230 - R250 (Estimated Price) This Black Opal loose powder is seriously one of my faves when it comes to loose powders. I definitely take advantage of loose powders and their benefits in my everyday makeup routine. I use the Black Opal Invisible Oil Blocking loose powder to set my primer and then apply foundation (this is a great hack for oily skin, powder before foundation - and this powder does the trick!). I also use it to set my eyeshadow primer (which is my L.A. Girl Pro Conceal in Yellow). I also use this to lighten up my under eyes, bake and I add a bit of powder on my oily areas after I apply foundation just to make it extra oil proof! This product seriously does the trick you guys, totally worth the purchase! 10. L.A. GIRL STROBE LITE L.A. GIRL STROBE LITE | STROBING POWDER | SHADES: 20 WATT & 80 WATT | R149 I'm a huge fanatic when it comes to highlight, I mean hello? Michaela Highlights! And I couldn't recommend a better & brighter drugstore highlight than the L.A. Girl Strobe Lite. These highlighters are so stunning and super pigmented. There's so many shades to choose from, so you're bound to find the perfect match to highlight your skin tone. When you wear this highlight you'll be sure to look like a glowing goddess! For my brown skin tone I enjoy using the 80 WATT for when I want a more golden natural highlight, and I use the 20 WATT when I want to be extra and stand out x10! 11. ESSENCE: ALL ABOUT MATT! ESSENCE: ALL ABOUT MATT! | FIXING COMPACT POWDER | R59.95 If you have oily skin then let me tell you, you seriously need to invest in a good translucent matte powder to touch up your makeup with as the day goes by. This Essence All About Matt has been the best translucent powder I've used to touch up my makeup. It's the perfect blotting powder you guys! When I touch up my face during the day, I prefer using translucent or colourless powders because they do the job without showing up on your skin. In other words, its better to use a translucent powder because if you use your normal setting powder throughout the day, it can make your face look cakey and patchy. So stick to blotting and touch ups with translucent powder and you'll never have that cake face problem when touching up! Like I said, the Essence All About Matt is your perfect go-to! 12. ESSENCE : MATT MATT MATT LONGLASTING LIP GLOSS ESSENCE : MATT MATT MATT LONGLASTING LIP GLOSS | SHADE : 09 AMERICAN GIRL | R46.95 If you're a matte liquid lipstick fan looking for the perfect formula, then you've just met the one! The Essence Matt Matt Matt Longlasting Lipgloss is one of the best liquid lippie formulas I have ever used. While it makes your lips look matt, they still have this creamy texture too it that doesn't make your lips feel dry, even if you re-apply throughout the day! And it's one of the few liquid lippies that have an added scent to it, I swear the shade that I have smells like brownies! This stunning dark brown shade is my go-to for when I want to rock some bold lips. There are also other shades to choose from, so whether you want a subtle lippie or a bold one like mine, you better get ready to pucker up and go grab yours now! 13. M.O.D. MAKEUP FINISHING SPRAY M.O.D. MAKEUP FINISHING SPRAY | R85.00 Finally, the last product on my list is the M.O.D. Makeup Finishing Spray. This is the last product you need to complete your look, and probably one of the most important! The M.O.D. Makeup Finishing Spray is a lightweight spray that you spritz onto your face after you have applied all your makeup. This spray will ensure that your makeup stays in place during the hours that you have it on, without moving or separating your makeup in those awkward places. I use this spray for those days where I'm not doing anything too dramatic with my makeup, and it holds my makeup in place as promised. It also has a stunning fresh scent to it so it's for sure welcomed by me! When using this spray, hold it 30 cm away from your face and spray about 3 times on to your makeup. Don't hold it too close or go overboard with spraying otherwise your makeup can get a bit runny. Also, this product isn't in the makeup section, but you can find it in the Skincare section in Dischem (La Lucia) if you're looking for it (Just what I noticed). Other than that, Happy Setting! Well you guys, thats it from me! Thank you so much for reading this long post, I really hope that I've helped you find some good quality products to choose from when you're doing your Dischem haul. Don't forget to show me what you've purchased when you do go shopping! Also - keep up with me on Instagram @michaela_highlights for those awesome mini product reviews and makeup looks :) Until Next Time
xo Michaela
