Hey Girl Hey!!!
I have had so many questions from you girls to do an updated haul of drugstore beauty haul of items I love and items y’all love! I love hearing what products you are loving and also hating lol!! I was going through some of my ride or die drugstore products and I honestly run out of everything like right at the same time. I can’t be the only one that happens to?!
I took a quick trip to CVS a couple weeks ago and grabbed some of your top suggested products to test out myself. I was honestly shocked at how much I also loved them ALL! I am sharing my first experience with these products on Instagram Stories today and talking about them all below.
One: Garnier Fructis Hair Mask // This affordable mask works great! I wanted to try out something a little different for my hair and not only does it make your hair super soft, it smells amazing! I also like that it works in only a minute. The consistency was a bit thinner than my usual higher end hair masks, but it produced results. Bonus that it’s affordable!
Two: Loreal Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation // I really love this foundation as well as the price point. I feel like it’s very comparable to Born This Way by Too Faced. It is not to heavy and with a stipple brush I can sheer it out nicely to my liking. The best part to me was how it really did last 24 hours! I highly recommend this product 🙂
Three: Physicians Butter Bronzer // Absolutely LOVE this bronzer! It blends like a dream and smells like I am on a beach sipping a yummy drink 🙂 It has some shimmer but I find that it’s not too noticeable on the skin. I like this for everyday use or traveling since it’s very inexpensive.
Four: Gold Bond Age Defense Hand Cream // I probably win the award for “Ugliest Hands in All The Land!” lol – But for real…. I scar and bruise so easily, anything I touch or rub against will become just that. Several of you recommended this lotion and I loved how this made my hands feel. I notice when the seasons change my skin also gets really dry. I have already noticed a difference in the look of my hands and how long this stuff lasts! It has a light scent to it but nothing over powering.
Five: ROC Retinol Eye Cream // I honestly havent used an eye cream in awhile. I wanted to give this one a shot since I have heard great things about this brand. It is a super small tube but do not be fooled, A little Goes a LONG way. A drop or 2 will cover the entire eye area. It’s a thin, lightweight retinol eye cream that absorbs quickly and is super hydrating. It also works well under makeup. I could tell a difference when I used the RoC cream on one under eye vs nothing on the other. The under eye with RoC was noticeably less puffy.
Six: ELF Kabuki Brush // I really needed a new blush brush so I just grabbed this one because I liked the size and that its travel friendly. Honest Review: I am not impressed with it at all. I tend to like more stiff and fuller brushes and this one is actually thinner than it looks.
Seven: Loreal Telescopic Mascara // One of my girlfriends recommended this to me last year and I immediately was blown away by the length of my lashes! It makes your lashes super long almost like they are false eyelashes without the hassle. They dont clump up either! For a whopping $10, this might be the best drugstore mascara!
Eight: TRESemme Dry Shampoo // Another product referred by one of my girlfriends and I am pretty impressed. I love that it is a clean product without harsh chemicals. It doesnt leave a white residue like most dry shampoo’s and it has a great clean smell. I could go 2 days without washing my hair and this stuff covered up all the greasy roots!
Nine: Milani Blush // I highly recommend this blush especially for the price. After only using it once, the color and shimmer are perfect for my skin tone. It also lasts most of the day which I feel like is hard to find in most blushes. I have been using the Bella Bellini shade.
Ten: Jergens Instant Sun Lotion // Mousse formulas are my fave when it comes to self-tanner…I think they blend better for less lines and streaking. I love St. Tropex, but this Jergen’s is a close second. It dries quickly with a beautiful, natural-looking tan.
Eleven: Sally Hansen Instant Dry Nail Polish // I love a good salon pedicure, but do my own nails 90% of the time. I keep them short and just refresh the color once a week. The Sally Hansen instant dry polishes dry instantly, allowing me to paint and go with no nicks or smudges. Plus, it’s got a great high-gloss shine!
Twelve: Spiral Hair Ties // Depending on what I am doing for the day, I always grab these hair ties and throw my hair up on top of my head. They dont pull or crease my hair even after wearing them all day. If I am working out, I use the stronger hair ties but these are super affordable and great for your hair.
Thirteen: WET Hairbrush // This is the best detangling brush on the market. I have used several different brushes before and I always come back to this one. It is easy to travel with and you can even throw it in your purse to run errands. It works for all hair types and is super affordable!
Fourteen: Maybelline Slim Matte Lipstick // I am actually super impressed with this lipstick. I love a good matte lip and my go to is usually the NYX matte lipgloss. This one is very lightweight and has great color. It also lasts awhile before having to re-apply. I have been using shade Blush and love it!
