WnW makes a decent bronzer
Someone also mentioned Avon, and while not a drugstore brand, their ANEW line is quite good. I am currently using their Retroactive Cream, their Advance All in One cream. Their Ultra Rich Color Moisture lipsticks are really good too. I like their glazwears, I'm wearing both right now.
I just ordered their Luminosity cream (supposedly fades dark marks, etc.) and their hydrofirming eye cream. I will let you all know how those work out.

Me either. And a lot of drug store stuff isn't even that cheap. If I am going to pay $8 for drugstore mascara, why not just get the quality stuff $14? Regardless I am intrigued by this thread although I never see anything I want or anything that's not close to something I already have in the drug store.

I am a real nail polish girl. So of course I *love* drugstore nail polish.
I like:
Revlon (range of shades are amazing!)
Sinful (also has a wonderful range of colors from the bizarre to just outright fun)
Milani (Wonderful browns)
I do have other things but those are my nail polish staples.
Other than that, I love my Aveeno moisturizer. It's oil free, and has been the best moisturizer to date that I've used.
Shade stick like products that are really nice are the Maybelline cooling effects stick eyeshadows. I've never had a problem with creasing, the color is strong and a wonderful base or worn alone.

l'oreal hip:
* brilliant shine lipgloss in darling (818), applies like a dream with the aid of a lip brush
* concentrated shadow duo in foxy (808), i use the cream color as a highlight and the brown one to fill in my eyebrows
* vibrant shimmer bronzing powder in radiant (897), i like to use this on my eyelids to brighten them up or on my cheeks/t-zone
maybelline:
* unstoppable mascara, great for everyday, no clumping
* lash stylist, love the comb-like applicator, allows for dramatic volume
revlon:
* wet/dry eyeliner, great for the waterline

Definitely the Loreal HIP line. I love their cream liners!! The eyeshadow duos are ok when using primer and some needs to be applied wet.

Makeup:
Maybelline makes wonderful mascaras (I love Full n' Soft)
I still love my Milani e/s (Desert Sun and Golden Bronze are my favs
)
Revlon's wet/dry liners are lovely too! Nice and soft and easy to smudge.
HIP's cream liners are lovely...I prefer them over MAC's.
Hair:
Organic Root Stimulator!!! I can't believe that I've slept on this line for so long. Their hair mayonnaise and conditioner packs are soooo moisturizing and mineral oil free! The Creamy Aloe/Olive Oil shampoo is amazing too...it actually detangles your hair. This line is amazing...any WOC with dryer hair should def give this line a shot
Skincare:
Seabreeze Natural's clay cleanser is excellent! Removes all my makeup but never leaves my skin feeling parched. I'm in love!
