What are your all-time favorite drugstore beauty products?

Hello everyone. I'm trying to limit the amount of money I spend and save up since I'll be going off to college this fall, but I really wanna get the most out of my money. So what are your all-time favorite drugstore skin care products, facial care products, cosmetics, etc. that are inexpensive yet are of great quality? And what would you recommend for someone with acne-prone, oily/combo, Asian skin like me? (Also I'm looking for the best mascara for my thin & stubbornly straight, yet oddly long -for an Asian person that is- lashes. Something with awesome curl-holding and thickening powers please. =D)

For cosmetics I love:

NYX everything e/s, l/g, blush, liners and I heartheir mascara is so good too1

I also love MAX Factor 2000 calorie mascara and Rimmel exaggerate liquid liner!

That's what I can think of at the moment!

Face: Olay Complete face lotioni SPF 15 and Olay daily face wash...

Mascara: Loreal Telescopic or Maybelline Great Lash

Lip Gloss: Covergirl Wet slicks

Lip Balm: Burt's Bees =D

Eyeliner: covergirl point exact...

skincare: *ponds age defying pre-moistened towlettes (really convenient and a drugstore product that actually helped improve my acne and skin tone!)

*clean & clear dual action moisturizer (use it every morning to moisturize and cut down on shine during the day)

mascara: *mark make it big lash plumping mascara (makes my lashes FAT!)

bronzer: *physician's formula has some great ones!

Skincare-Neutrogena Daily Facial Wash

Foundation-Revlon CS

Balm-Chapstick cherry flavored

Biore Pore Strips for nose (and don't have to go to the spa for a facial)

basically anything neutrogena

Sally Hansen nail stuff

Maybelline e/l

NYX!!!

eyeshadows, blushes!!! (esp the cream blushes, they are amazing IMO). lipglosses. and round lipsticks! they are supercreamy, i love them!

Milani!

the eyeshadow pots. RRRRR. some colours are good dupes for mac colours.

for example milanis clover is a lot like mac humid. milani storm is IMO better then mac black tied.

milani SHOCK is similar to mac stars and rockets i think?

other milani eyeshadow favs of mine are......Antiqued Gold (or is it antique gold?! haha.

such a beautiful colour!) TAFFY, icy plum, flare, rich chocolate, almondine and silver bullet.

the lipglosses!

and the glimmer stripes! super nice metallicy glow!!
