Beauty
Mar 16, 2012
I’ve met a lot of women who are Particular Pollys when it comes to the makeup, hair, and skincare that they use – and with good reason. Chanel this. MAC that. Moroccan Oil this. La Mer that. And that’s all well and fine because – of course – all of these brands have fab products. But don’t sleep on your local drugstore and the beauty bargains it beholds. Take a stroll down the aisles of your local Rite Aid, CVS, Duane Reade, or even WalMart, and prepare to be amazed by all the great staples you can snag for just a few bucks.
What are your favorite drugstore beauty finds? Here are 12 of my personal favorites:
- Chelsea Smith
yup! don’t sleep on drugstore brands, some of my faves come from the drugstore, i think i’ve tried the majority of products listed here! still haven’t tried the black radiance blushes tho
I became a cosmetic snob once I thought I had “made it” but then when I got laid off and used up all my unemployment benefits……..I ate a HUGE piece of humble pie.
I replaced $60 Dior Nude liquid foundation with Maybellines $8 dollah Dream Liquid Mousse. Coverage is great and I have money left over to try their Dream Nude Airfoam which is great for a very quick application (stay @ home mom w/toddler).
I have yet to find a cheap foundation primer but the RoC Brilliance is ok.
I too have fallen n love with Black Radiance products. The quality is amazing.
I love St Ives apricot scrub and duo eyelash glue.
Whaaat…no Milani products made the cut. Also, Revlons new lip butter line is amazing.
Great list! There are definitely some products listed that I will be checking for in the near future!
Yea, that St. Ives Apricot scrub is good and I like the smell, but I experienced the same thing years ago when I used to use it. I always rinsed well, yet I always managed to find some grit on my body 20 minutes later.
