When it comes to beauty products, Bethenny Frankel is never afraid to spotlight her faves.

The reality TV star-turned-brand mogul—who made her in-print SI Swimsuit debut this year with a fabulous rookie shoot in Fort Myers, Fla.—regularly shares her must-have beauty picks on social media. And this week, she got real about which drugstore products she believes are “worth it,” listing everything from under-eye brighteners to cream bronzers to unique lipsticks.

In the short clip shared on Instagram on Tuesday, Oct. 6, the model listed six items for her 4 million followers to check out the next time they venture to their local drugstore. She also applied them during her regular makeup routine, showing exactly how well they worked for her.

“Every single thing that you recommended from drugstores is on point, 10/10, as you say, ‘run like a thief in the night’ 🙌,” one commenter quipped. Meanwhile, another applauded, “THANX FOR THIS! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏”
