Cheap and Chic: My Favorite Drugstore Buys

Drugstores can be a bit overwhelming, and let's be honest—most of us just go there to pick up medicine or the necessary toiletries. But you can find some real gems in the beauty department. I always love finding cheap products that work well and these are some tried and true favorites of mine.

{Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream}

The best cream ever. I use this for my body lotion everyday and slather it on my face at night. It is so moisturizing.

 {Maybelline Great Lash Mascara}

I've been using this for years and swear by it. Good Morning America recently ran a segment comparing it to expensive mascara brands and it got better reviews than the pricey ones.  I use the blackest black and rock it everyday.

{St. Ives Invigorating Apricot Face Scrub}

This is some of the best exfoliating face scrub around. It smells heavenly and works so well. I keep it in my shower and use it two to three times a week. If you have one, it also works great with your Clarisonic.

{Revlon Lip Butter}

This is my latest obsession—I love this stuff. It stays on well and leaves your lips feeling moisturized, plus the colors are great. "Pink Truffle" is my favorite but I also have "Peach Parfait." 

{Conair Infinity Pro Hair Dryer}

I know a lot of you peeps swear by expensive hair dryers, but I promise this one works just as well. I used to own the expensive Super Solano and when it broke I bought this one as a quick replacement till I could save up for a new Solano. I ended up loving the Conair and am still using it. It gets super hot and has the removable nozzle, which I love—a great hair dryer for cheap.

{Suave Moroccan Oil}

I promise this stuff works just as well as the expensive oils. It smells great and leaves my hair looking super sleek.

{Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Deep Conditioner}

I love this deep conditioner. I use it once a week or so and it does wonders for my dry, over-processed hair. It smells amazing, too.

{Tom's Of Maine Toothpaste}

I hate the taste of regular toothpaste—it makes me want to barf. But I love Tom's. It has a fresh taste that is not too over powering, plus it's natural with no artificial additives. I also love their mouthwash.

{Aquaphor Healing Ointment}

I love to buy this stuff in the big jar. I use it a lot at night as an undereye cream and sometimes, if my face is really dry, I slather it on my whole face. It is also great for cracked heels. Plastic surgeons swear by this stuff for use after facial surgeries, so you know it's a good product.

{Essie Nailpolish}

Essie has quickly become my favorite brand of nail polish. My favorite colors right now are Geranium, Ballet Slippers, Enuf is Enuf, Watermelon, and Wicked.
