FAVORITE DRUG STORE PRODUCTS

These products below are my favorites, not because they are inexpensive. . . but because they are truly amazing!  Now, don’t get me wrong. . .I LOVE that they are inexpensive, but that is not why they became my favorites.  They are just as good if not better than the expensive items I have tried.

HAIR:

1. AUSSIE MEGA HAIRSPRAY: This hairspray is a light, flexible hold, but helps keep the shape of your style an prevent fly aways and static.  It smells AMAZING!  I always spray it on last just so my hair smells like it. . .even if I am doing a crazy pony and don’t need any hold.
2. LOREAL BOOST IT: This stuff gives the most amazing volume.  I like to tease the hair at the crown of my head (hey. . .I am from Texas), and I just spray a little of this where I tease at the roots and it gives amazing volume!
3. GARNIER FRUCTIS VOLUME EXTEND DRY SHAMPOO: I have tried approximately 379 dry shampoos and this one continues to be my favorite.  I have learned that dry shampoo is very personal and people are really passionate about their favorite and I always go back to this one.  I actually order it on Amazon and have about 15 in my closet.  Let me say. . . use a TON of dry shampoo.  I use it every day, even on the days I wash my hair because it adds volume.  I just feel it really sucks out any moisture and makes my hair look the best way possible.  Because I use so much, I love that this dry shampoo is inexpensive because I go through it very quickly!  It also smells so good.
4. COCONUT MIRACLE OIL DRY SHAMPOO: Ok, this one is fairly new to me.  As I mentioned above I am always trying a new dry shampoo.  Since I use it so much I want to make sure I have the best one.  Most of the time I buy a drug store one and it doesnt compare to my Fructis one (above) so I give it away, etc, but this one I really like too!  It smells like Coconut, very beach, and does a great job.  I have added this into my dry shampoo rotation.
5. LOREAL TOTAL REPAIR DEEP CONDITIONER:  I have very thick hair that I color so it tends to get really dry on the ends and I deep condition about once a week.  This one makes my hair amazing.  I leave it on about 3 minutes in the shower and my hair really looks restored.  It is moisturized, shiny and so healthy looking.

OTHER:

6. NEUTROGENA MAKEUP REMOVER WIPES: These are incredible.  I use them as my eye makeup remover, but they can be used to wipe all the makeup off your face.  It takes off mascara so well.  There is no residue and it even removes water proof mascara so easily.  To save money I use half a sheet each time I use them because the sheets are large and I only need half to remove my eye makeup.

7. GOLD BOND FOOT CREAM: This is the best foot cream.  It is thick, moisturizing, has no odor and absorbs quickly. I use this on my elbows, hands, etc.  It is amazing!  It is not sticky or greasy at all and really helps keep my feet and hands moisturized.

8. NEUTROGENA SPORTS FACE CREAM: I use this all the time in the summer.  It is SPF 70 so it give amazing sun protection, but it goes on like a regular lotion.  It is oil free, moisturizing and absorbs fast.  This does not feel like typical sunscreen. It is resistant to sweat, water, rubbing, etc.

9. GLADE COCONUT & BEACH WOODS FINE FRAGRANCE MIST: Yes, this is an air freshening mist, BUT I use it as a light perfume spray.  It is a very fine mist that smells so so good.  When I am dressed or just need a little pick me up, I lightly spray this on my clothes.  It makes me smell amazing and the fine mist is not overpowering at all.  I shared this on Instagram stories and got several messages from people who went out and bought it and are in love with it too!

10. SALLY HANSEN AIR BRUSH LEGS: This stuff is amazing.  When you first spray it on it is kinda scary because you will look orange, but once you rub it in it leaves the most amazing finish.  It is like pantyhose in a bottle.  It is make up, not self tanner, but it has amazing staying power.  I spray it on, rub it in, let it dry and it can last a few days if you don’t wash it off.  It also does not rub on clothes or sheets (and I have white sheets).  It is water resistant so you don’t have to worry about it while wearing.  It helps even out skin tone, cover up any spider veins, scars or hair follicles.  Personally, I only wear it when I am going out in a nice dress or something, but it can be worn daily. I LOVE this stuff.

MAKEUP|NAILS:

11. COVERGIRL TRU BLEND PRESSED POWDER: This mineral powder gives a smooth even finish and really evens out my skin tone.   Just a great basic powder.  I wear color #2

12. SALLY HANSEN INSTA DRI TOP COAT: A must have if you ever polish your own nails. It makes your manicure/pedicure look amazing.  Leaves a nice shiny finish and dries so quickly.  This is a must because who has time to sit around forever for your nails to dry??!!

13. RIMMEL LIPLINER- EAST END SNOB: This is a great everyday liner.  It is a beautiful neutral, not too pink, not too brown.  It goes with many lipsticks.  It has a matte finish and is long wearing

14. LOREAL LASH PARADISE MASCARA- BLACKEST BLACK:  This is the best mascara!  I have tried lots of the expensive ones and this one is my fav!  It makes my lashes super full, long and black!  I cannot live without this product.  You know that game “if you could only take 1 beauty item to a deserted island what would it be?” Well. . .this would be mine (if toothpaste and deodorant didn’t qualify)

15. MAYBELLINE EYELINER-BLACK:  Great black liner.  Goes on easily with thin felt tip to help make a crisp line. Waterproof and smudge proof.
