These are my favorite products right now, some have been favorites for a long time, and the ones I use most often. The face products I use every day where as my eyeshadow, blush color, or lipstick may change from day to day. Sorry that some of them are a little beat up, using them every day doesn't do much for the packaging.
First up is my Loreal' Magic BB cream. Its the first BB cream I've tried so I can't say its the best on the market but I've found it evens out my skin tone really well so I'm able to wear less foundation and have a more natural affect.

For foundation I use Covergirl's Clean foundation. I like that it gives great coverage and is really inexpensive. I've been using this for years and have always paired it with a higher end powder.

My favorite higher end face powder is Mac's Studio Fix Powder. If used with the sponge provided it could be used as a powder foundation or could be used to build a lot of coverage with liquid foundation under it. The best way I've found to use it though is with a powder brush. It still builds up the coverage of a foundation and gives a great matte finish but it doesn't look too cakey.

For concealer I use NYX's Concealer in a jar everyday. It was inexpensive but gives great coverage and blends in easily. If I have a really difficult blemish to cover or one that is more raised up I use Hard Candy Glamoflauge. Its a very thick liquid with amazzzzing coverage and when applied to raised up blemish it balances it out so it is much less noticeable.

Next I use NYC's bronzing powder in sunny. This was a huge hit in the Youtube beauty world a few years back which is when I decided to try it. It can be used as a subtle bronzer or more heavily when going for a more contoured look and it doesn't get too orange.
For an eyeshadow primer my favorite one to use on a regular basis is E.L.F.s eyelid primer. My absolute favorite is Urban Decay Primer Potion but living on a budget the e.l.f. one is the best inexpensive one I've tried.

For an everyday eyeshadow look I use Mac's ricepaper on the lids. I also use this as a highlight color for almost every look. I then use Covergirl's Eye Enhancers Eyeshadow in Brown Smolder to blend in the crease. I also use this color to fill in my brows. I then use the color Lucifer, a black color from the Kat Von D palette.

My favorite gel eyeliner that I use pretty much everyday is E.L.F.'s cream eyeliner. I've tried using several brushes with it but the one that comes with it is actually my favorite. It stays on all day without smudging and for $3 a jar you can't beat it. To fill in the tight line and water line I use Covergirl's Liquiline Blast Eyeliner. It's the blackest drugstore eyeliner I've been able to find.

I tend to switch up my mascara's quite often but my favorite right now is Maybelline's One by One Volume Express. If you have dark make up it is dark enough to stand out and if you have minimal eye make up on but throw on a few coats of this your eyes will pop. With little to no color on the eyes it almost looks like you're wearing false eyelashes.

I hope this was helpful and interesting and I hope you are all having a splendid day. =]
