Drugstore Beauty Favorites

August 3, 2015


I don't post about beauty products normally on the blog because it's not something that I'm very passionate about or ever really got into, but if it's something you would like to see more of, let me know! Over the years I've tried a lot of drug store products, so I wanted to share some of my tried and true beauty faves. I have been using all of these products for at least a year.

Johnson's Baby Powder. You may be wondering why this is on my list, because it is not in fact a beauty product. I actually use baby powder as dry shampoo and it works wonders. You can get a huge bottle for so cheap! I will say that this only works for lighter colored hair. 

Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede lipstick. This lipstick is hands down the best drugstore lipstick money can buy. I even like it better than MAC. You have to try it! It stays on all day through eating and drinking. It will start to fade a little, but ends up looking like a nice lip stain instead.

St Ives Oatmeal and Shea Butter lotion. I've been using this for years and it's the best. I love the smell and it keeps my skin lovely and soft.

Herbal Essence Hello Hydration conditioner. I pretty much love all Herbal Essence products because of the smell alone. I've tried a lot of different scents, but I keep coming back to Hello Hydration. I love the coconutty smell! Weirdly, I get tons of complements on it.

Conair 1" curling iron. I'm not quite sure why people insist on spending hundreds of dollars on curling irons, when Conair from Target works perfectly fine. This one is only $10. I've been using Conair curling irons for years. They do stop working after a couple of years, but that's to be expected. 

CeraVe face wash. This stuff is amazing. It takes all of my makeup off without having to use makeup remover (except lipstick). It's really gentle, which is great for my sensitive skin. It is a little bit of a splurge as far as drugstore products go, but it looks like I'll have to start buying it on Amazon instead!

CeraVe moisturizer. I also use their moisturizer and it's nice and light, while still keeping my skin hydrated. 

Tresemme hairspray. I've tried a lot of hairsprays over the years and this one is the perfect balance of holding a curl while not making hair crunchy.

Neutrogena Clear Face sunscreen. I can vouch for this product and that it doesn't make me break out! I burn very easily and have become way more conscious about sun safety over the years, so sunscreen is a big part of my everyday life. 

What drugstore products do you swear by?
