products I love: drugstore finds

drugstore finds

here 


Like I've said before, I love finding a product that works, but you know what's even better? Finding a product that works at a price that can't be beat. As much as I love certain beauty splurges, I'm all for finding great products at affordable prices, so I get just as excited about browsing through my drugstore's health and beauty section as much as I do about browsing through Sephora. After some trial and error, I've found some tried and tested and much loved favorites, all under $10: 

 Neutrogena makes gentle, hypo-allergenic, hard-working products that I love. My favorites include their make-up remover wipes and the grapefruit scented body wash. I've also recently discovered Organix moroccan argan oil conditioner. It adds extra conditioning for when my hair needs extra TLC and comes in great, eco-friendly packaging. As for beauty, I love Milani lipsticks (great texture and feel), L'Oreal's Voluminous mascara (long-time fave), and Maybelline's Color Whisper lip balm/stick (light-weight and low-maintenance like a balm, less drying than a lipstick with buildable color payoff).  I also have to give props to Sinful Colors nail polish - an extensive range of decently long-wearing (at least on me) colors that are priced at a wallet-friendly $1.99 or less.


What are your favorite drugstore finds?

products I love: l'occitane

products I love: l'occitane

here


In the winter, my skin gets super dry and super itchy. After trying numerous other products, as a last ditch effort, I tried L'Occitane's range of products, starting with the concentre de lait and the shea butter hand and foot cream. After seeing how effectively these three products worked on my poor skin almost immediately, I was sold. I'm also now obsessed with the almond shower oil and pate delice (couldn't find online but similar) for the days I want extra exfoliation. The subtle, natural, and refreshingly not chemical smell of all their products is a nice change from a lot of other things available, and the great work they do helping women in Burkina Faso makes my purchases even more worth it. L'Occitane's products are pricey, but they're fantastic and last quite a while as a little goes a long way, so they're a splurge I budget for.

Have you tried L'Occitane products? Any faves?
