Drug Store Finds

Who says you can't find anything of good quality at the drug store?  I am a cheap skate, so I have tried a lot of make-up and cosmetics from the drug store, and I am here to tell you, you can find just as good make-up and skin care as you can at the department store!  A long time ago, I worked at Macy's in their cosmetics department and worked with such brands as Clinique, Lancôme, Christian Dior and Sheseido.  I got the privilege of trying all the brands and they are good, don't get me wrong.  But the brands at the drug store can be just as good, in fact L'Oréal owns Lancôme and Kiels and many more reputable companies. 

So my first drug store find is L'Oréal's Voluminous Mascara.  I love this stuff!!!  I was not blessed with beautiful, long, full lashes, so I have to fake it till I make it ;)  I have tried so many mascara's that promise long, full lashes and nothing I have tried does the job quite like this mascara!  You can find this for around $7.

My next drug store find is a great anti-aging cream called Roc Retinol.  They have a variety of products that range from day/night creams, to eye creams.  Retinol is derived from vitamin A and works to speed up the cell turnover in the skin to minimize fine lines and wrinkles and even out skin tone.  It also works with your skin's elasticity to firm and tighten.  This product works just as good as medical grade retinols and costs a lot less!   Roc Retinol ranges in price from $10-$30.

The third drug store find is Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs.  Love, love, love this stuff!!!  If you are as pasty white as me or it's the middle of winter and your legs haven't seen the light of day in forever, this is a must for a night out or whenever you are showing off your legs!  Who really wears panty hose anymore?  The look is nice, tan legs, the kind you see J-Lo sporting on the red carpet.  Sure you can get a spray tan, but your spray tan doesn't cover varicose veins or uneven skin like this product does.  It is an easy application, just spray on your hands and apply to your legs.  Drys in one minute!  They have 3 different colors: light, medium and dark.  Plus this product is only about $12 and gives you many applications!!!

Now you know my drug store fav's, would love to hear yours :)  Until next time my beauties!
