Katie Maloney-Schwartz Swears by This $8 Concealer
The Vanderpump Rules SURver shares her favorite budget-friendly beauty buys.
If there is one SURver you ever want to go to for beauty advice, let it be Katie Maloney-Schwartz. The 31-year-old has a strong passion for all things beauty, and as we’ve seen on Vanderpump Rules, she isn’t afraid to take risks. In fact, Katie loves all things beauty so much, that she also runs her own beauty and lifestyle blog Pucker and Pout. And she’ll soon be launching makeup products of her own!
The newlywed has teamed up with celebrity makeup artist Julie Hewett to launch two new lipsticks, appropriately dubbed Pucker and Pout. Katie told Most Wanted that Pucker will be a bold statement lip, while Pout will be a nude shade. Sadly, we won’t be able to get our hands on these new lipsticks until the springtime. But no worries, PumpRules fans. In order to hold us over until the big launch, we got Katie to dish on her must-have drugstore beauty buys. Because who doesn't love a good beauty steal?
After our recent chat with Katie, it’s safe to say that the L.A. lady knows her way around the drugstore beauty aisles. The beauty junkie has recommendations for pretty much any category you could think of — including a dark circle vanishing concealer and a lash-enhancing mascara.
Scroll down to see all of Katie’s must-have picks and why she loves them.
Rimmel London Lash Accelerator
Katie Maloney-Schwartz: "I always like to mix it up [when it comes to mascara], but right now I’m loving the Rimmel London Lash Accelerator. I like the formula and the brush — it just goes on really nice and smooth without clumping. It also has a lash-growing ingredient, so it’s kind of like a two-for-one."
NYX Slide On Pencil
KM-S: "For eyeliners, I love NYX. NYX has this great pencil liner that I am constantly replacing."
Covergirl Katy Kat Matte Lipstick
KM-S: "For a lip, I love Katy Perry’s Covergirl line, all of the shades are really nice. There are some really great nude colors that I like."
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Concealer Treatment
KM-S: "I’ve been using [this concealer] for a long time, I love it."
Garnier SKINACTIVE Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1
KM-S: "I like this cleanser because it’s an easy way to clean your face if you’re tired or in a rush. It gets the job done, and you don’t have to rinse your face."
L'Oreal Paris EverPure Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner
KM-S: "For my hair, I use L’Oreal's EverPure sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. They smell nice, and my hair is always in good condition when I use them."
