    Thumbs up What are your favorite drugstore products?

    I like my high end stuff but I also love finding cheaper alternatives at the drugstore. My faves are:

    Balea body washes and scented lotions. I found these products while visiting Europe and wish we had them in the States! So cheap but tons of scent options and they don't irritate my sensitive skin at all.

    I really like the Wet n Wild matte lipsticks, some are dupes for MAC

    Neutrogena triple moisture mask- the BEST!!

    LaRoche-Posay Effaclar retinol cream is the BOMB! And Shea Moisture everything. I love their lotions, oils, and body wash. They have a line of frankincense and myrrh-scented products -- and who doesn't wanna smell like Baby Jesus?

    I also love Hawaiian Tropic sheer touch shimmer sunblock. It smells like a delicious slutty banana, goes on really lightly and isn't oily/sticky at all, and leaves you mildly sparkly! I'm Howard Hughes-level neurotic about wearing spf and this is my holy grail of body spf. I wear it every damn day. I'm never getting wrinkles y'all!

    What's the spf on that? I'm super conscious of sun block as well. My brand's the Sun Bum, spf 70, it smells great, & is a nice moisturizor w/vit e. It's non skin clogging, etc.
    Today I saw a new Wet/Wild mascara, was a lil' tempted. But I just bought the yellow tube NYC. It's ok for everyday.

    Oh I forgot to mention I also looove La Roche-Posay Effaclar H as well. My dermatologist recommended the multi-compensating soothing moisturizer and it's the best I've ever used. It's veeery moisturizing for people who have oily/combination skin without making you look shiny.

    I am currently on my 4th month taking Accutane and this moisturizer really make a difference. My skin never looked so beautiful before and you can barely notice the dryness. Last week I ran out of it, tried putting on 4 coats of Clinique moisturizer and it did not help at all. My skin was itchy and so dry you could see all the dead skin, it was awful. I am sooo happy this cream exists and will try more products from that brand in the future.

    I don't know if it's because of where I live, but the drugstore beuty products are almost as expensive as the department stores, or beauty supply stores.
    So, for me, I like Wet and Wild mega slicks lip gloss, pressed powder, and eye shadows. Some of their eye pencil sticks are good too, as well as their lip pencils.
    Every thing els is usually over $20 dollars, and I feel it's too expensive for me, since I don't wear makeup that much anymore.
    Cleansing wipes are 28 for a dollar. Can't beat that!

    I like Rimmel Volume Accelerator mascara and their Lash Accelerator mascara. It's dark, doesn't smudge, and most importantly doesn't crumble and flake down into my eyeballs. It isn't too heavy or clumpy... and it isn't thin or non-existent looking.

    I used to buy DJV Fiberwig mascara until they changed the formula... nothing, no matter the price, comes anywhere close to the original formula Fiberwig. I tried all of the Sephora mascaras... nothing was anywhere near as good as Fiberwig used to be... and I was okay paying nearly $30 for the stuff because it was just THAT good. After trying all of the other high-end mascaras (and subsequently being terribly disappointed by them) I went back to the drug store. I figured if I'm going to settle for a mascara, I for sure wouldn't be paying a premium price. I tried out a lot of drug store mascaras too, most drug stores let you buy cosmetics and return them if you don't like them as long as you have a reciept. Rimmel seemed to be the most balanced option.

    Now if ony I could find a sheer, long lasting, non-sticky, non glittery lip gloss in a tube (no wand!)... I could save hundreds of dollars annually!!!

    I'm addicted to O-Plump gloss... it's truly amazing... http://www.sephora.com/o-plump-intui...LBQaAnLp8P8HAQ

    That being said, Wet n Wild used to make Aura gloss.... it was a phenomenal "dupe" of O-Plump and it cost 1/10th the price. It actually didn't plump lips, but I'm pretty sure O-Plump doesn't plump my lips either, it just has a slightly minty feeling when applied. Whatever the ingredients were, it was a fantastic product. Just like most things that I love though... it was discontinued.




    For hair, I use Suave Clarifying Shampoo... I love the fragrance and the volume that this shampoo provides. I also use Clairol's "Honey, I'm Strong" conditioner. It's brilliant, it conditions without making my hair look heavy or greasy. Awesome, awesome, awesome products.

    I use generic uncoated aspirin for a face scrub/mask.... I get the aspirin at the drug store... so I think that counts. I highly recommend dtrying an aspirin facial if you get the chance. Your skin will look AMAZING.

    According to New Beauty Magazine, Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede Lipstick is long lasting, not a gloss though.

    Saint Ives body lotion is heavier on glycerin, not mineral oil, so it goes on nice without that gross ....sticky effect that cheaper lotions do.

    Family Dollar brand items are awesome! Also Sally Beauty Supply has a lot of makeup that is very nice and often better quality than some cheaper drugstore items.

    I use the duo black glue, since I'm heavy with the eyeliner. I love it!

    I shop around & try to avoid paying over priced products but here's what I've found that works:

    Dollar Tree- Milani Lip Gloss in frosty pink
    Dollar Tree- Nail polish in any color that stays & doesn't chip
    Target- Generic brand make-up remover wipes
    Target- Unscented baby wipes
    Dollar Tree- Generic brand human hair eyelashes (they actually last!)
    Sally Beauty Supply- Queen Helene Mint Scrub for face & body(not sure if it's discontinued or not) but it works great!
    Walmart- Lo'real Volumous mascara
    Walmart- Broadway or Kiss Glue on Nails (in either petite squared or med length & pointy) I swear by these things!

    That's all I can think of for now~

    Oh yeah! One more in which I bought today that's sooo amaZing is the Lo'real Photoshop ready base primer in a little glass jar with a black lid. It's around $12 but it's really THE best I've ever worn underneath my makeup. It smooths, blurs fine lines & wrinkles & holds my foundation on ALL night. Usually lasts me about 2-3 months if used every day.

    Sounds crazy, but I use wet and wild mascara with an old MAC brush/wand that I sanitized and kept. The MAC brush separates and clumps less imo. It' s my go to when I can't or don't want to pay for MAC mascara. Must be working, I got asked million times this week if my eyelashes are real.

    -Milani lipglosses
    -Wet N Wild mascara, shadow ( have to wet it to get good color), glosses and matte lipsticks, nail polish
    -Maybelline Dream Mousse
    -Rimmel anything
    -Freeman Pear Revitalizing facewash ( only thing I can use on my sensitive skin)
    -Maybelline White Concelear
    -Walgreens Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

    Probably more but I can't think

    Going to go look for this, this weekend! I've been on a trial and error route with primer and have yet to find the perfect one. Tarte flawless was pretty good. Do they have any in colors? I've been using a green tinted one from elf to mask redness, but I hate the consistency.

    Walgreens baby wipes! I love, love, love baby wipes, and use tons of them every day, so I'm kind of an expert on the good vs. the bad, or cheaply made.
    I've yet to get over to a target to try theirs. might convert me.

    Not that I saw. I think it only comes in the pale pink shade. There IS another one by Lo'reaL that is called an illuminator but it is in a smaller slender tube.

    Nope. ^ I've saved my brush from Benefit "they're real" rinsed it in hot water/makeup remover, dried it & used it to comb out lashes. I also use a comb/brush folding due from Ulta, it was 3.99 I think.
    Which one of the W/Wild mascaras? They have a few. There's a brand new one out, I don't know what it's called, I just saw it in Walgreen's the other day.

    Maybelline Volum Express Falsies mascara. I love that stuff and buy it in bulk when it's on sale. Elf's gel liner works better for me than my marc Jacobs liner and it was only $3. I use elf eye shadows and eye shadow brushes as well.

    I use the Mega Impact. It's in an orange tube. Not sure if that's the newest one though.
