Current Drugstore Beauty Faves

I love finding affordable and effective beauty products from the drugstore. Everyone loves to indulge, but these finds won't break the bank! Proof that the drugstore has nearly everything you need for great skin, hair and makeup. Here are my favorites from this month.

1 | Confession. One of the reasons I don't use moisturizer as much as I should is because I can't stand a sticky feeling on my skin. Problem solved. Nivea In-Shower Body Lotion allows you to conveniently moisturize your skin in the shower. You rinse it off after application. This means no sticky feel. the moisture stays but the sticky goes. Apply directly after your usual cleaning while still in the shower and rinse off for instant moisturizing and all-day protection.

2 | If winter has left your skin itchy and dry, you need relief. That is where Aveeno Skin Relief Gentle Scent Lotion comes in. This lightly scented lotion soothes itchy, dry skin in just one day and is clinically shown to be as gentle to sensitive skin as fragrance free products. It will leave your skin feeling soft, smooth and moisturized for a full 24 hours.

3 | Did you know your teeth not only yellow from coffee, tea, wine and tobacco, but also age? The Luster Premium White Pro Light Dental Whitening System works to reverse time by erasing years of stains in just 30 minutes. It uses the same whitening light technology found in dental offices. This means that you can nourish and repair your smile in the comfort of your own home. This three step system includes: AcceleRinse to pre-treat teeth, a Whitening Serum with active dental peroxide, and a Dual-Action Whitening Light for optimal whitening. The batteries are even included. Just use the quick-reference guide to customize your whitening schedule. This is perfect for weddings, vacations, special occasions, or everyday whitening.

4 | Create your own rock star look with 12 exclusive nude shades in the NYC New York Color Lovatics By Demi Eye Shadow Kit. This fashionably exclusive kit palette includes 12 nude shades which allow you to channel Demi Lovato's fresh and cool side. I was impressed with the high pigmentation and smooth application! It ranks right up there with similar sets that cost triple what this one does.

5 | L'Oreal Advanced Haircare Power Moisture Hydrating 2-in-1 Shampoo + Conditioner can be your combination cleansing and conditioning solution. This power moisture formula with Hyaluronic weightlessly quenches and softens dry locks, sealing in a clean feel with no weigh-down. Look for the shampoo, the conditioner, or the 2-in-1. If tangled hair has you pulling knots, try the Advanced Haircare-Power Moisture 10 Second Hydra-Detangler. It will quench thirsty strands with just a spritz. The leave-in mist weightlessly seals in that shower-fresh bounce. Just spray, comb, and style.

6 | This is not my first rodeo with Micellar water. I love this stuff. Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water removes even waterproof makeup, while also cleaning and refreshing the skin. You don't even have to rinse it! It is so gentle that it can be used on face, lips, and even eyes. The multi-purpose cleanser contains Micellar technology. Like a magnet, micelles capture and lift away dirt, oil and makeup without harsh rubbing. It leaves your skin perfectly clean and refreshed without over-drying. Really, this stuff is awesome!

7 | Don't be afraid of bold color. That is what you get with Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lipstick. Drench your lips in vivid matte and reveal your vibrant side with 10 shades to pick from. I received the shade Rebel Red which is a red orange. I love this color! From nudes, reds and plums choose the right shade for any moment for a high-impact lip that stands out! The pure pigments collide with a creamy liquid base for a soft, creamy feel.

8 | When you want to keep your lips tinted, moisturized, and extra glamorous, reach for a Neutrogena MoistureSmooth Color Stick. Your lips instantly receive an elegant upgrade while announcing a fresh appearance to the world. The twist-up stick comes infused with mango and shea butter for smoother and softer lips that lasts for hours. Plump up your lips with intense moisture in one of 16 shades. I love the twist up color stick. No sharpener needed. I tried the Pink Grapefruit shade. It actually smells fruity too! This has been in my bag ever since I tried it.

9 | If you work with your hands, you know what a toll it can take on your skin. O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream uses a pH balanced formula that’s different than anything you’ve tried before. It is non-greasy, completely odorless, and ridiculously powerful. When you use it, you can almost feel the healing. It really gets in those painful cracks and splits without irritating them. The concentrated formula naturally hydrates the skin and there is absolutely no odor!
