By NewBeauty Editors · May 19, 2017

It may seem easy, but being a beauty blogger involves a lot more than just posting pretty pictures of makeup on Instagram. Not only does it require unparalleled creativity to stir up what may be the next big beauty trend, but it also necessitates hours of testing the latest product launches before filming the perfect social media review. So, with that kind of hands-on-experience, who could be better than beauty bloggers when it comes to knowing what the best, must-try products are on the market? Ahead, we tapped seven social media stars for their favorite drugstore products—their answers may surprise you.

“The Covergirl LashBlast Fusion Mascara ($8) is my favorite mascara. I have used it since high school and have yet to find anything I like more. I also absolutely love my Wet Brush ($9). It’s really soft on your hair and doesn’t cause any breakage. When I travel, I always have Aveeno Positively Radiant Makeup Removing Wipes ($8) with me—they’re by far the best makeup wipes I have ever used. I love that after I use them, my face doesn’t feel dry.”

“Two drugstore products I absolutely love are Maybelline New York Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation ($6) and L’Oréal Voluminous Volume Building Mascara ($9). The foundation is great for flawless skin and I still never find myself using any mascara besides the L’Oréal one.”

“My favorite drugstore foundation is NYX Cosmetics Total Control Drop Foundation ($14). I love it because it’s matte and very lightweight, and after it dries, it feels like you have nothing on your face. I also love an ombré lip, and the trick to create it is using NYX Cosmetics Matte Lipstick in Forbidden ($6).”

Rachel Parcell, Pink Peonies &@RachParcell

“I swear by Lansinoh HPA Lanolin ($10)! It might sound weird, but when I had my daughter my lips got so chapped so I started using it and I still use it every night. Also, my sisters and I grew up using the Dove Beauty Bar ($4) to wash our faces and it’s still a staple in my skincare routine. Another great product is the Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Nail Color ($5). Whenever I’m wanting a new color on my nails and am short on time, I always use this because it seriously dries so fast and doesn’t smudge. Finally, I like to have Crest 3D White Luxe Professional Effects Whitestrips Strips ($70) on hand to use every now and then. I love how my teeth are always visibly whiter after using them!”

“NYX Prismatic Eyeshadow in Mermaid ($6) is so stunning on the inner corner of your eye, whether you are doing a colorful look or a neutral one. I also can’t go without the Pixi by Petra Glow Mist ($15). Not only does it hydrate the skin, but it also leaves this natural glow (sans shimmer!) on your face. Finally, I tell everyone to pick up the e.l.f. Illuminating Eye Cream ($10) because it’s such a good hydrating eye cream for the under-eye area.”

“One thing I MUST use on myself is Blistex Bliss Flip Lip Balm ($5). Everyone needs lip balm, and this product makes lips look instantly flake-free and hydrated. As a bonus, the top stays attached when you ‘flip’ so you’ll never lose the cap in the bottom of your purse. I also tried out Australian Gold Botanical Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 ($15) while paddle-boarding in Florida and was crazy impressed with how it stayed on. It truly isn’t greasy at all and the lotion is like a physical, velvety barrier between your skin and the sun.”
