This is one of my fave exfoliators at the drugstore. For the money you really can't go wrong with the amount of product you get and how much you actually use. About 2-3 times a week I'll use a dime size amount and gently massage the product onto my skin in circles. The exfoliants are rather large and rough so be careful when massaging if you have sensitive skin or using AHA's or BHA's. It leaves my skin smooth and soft. Would definitely recommend if you need an exfoliator on a budget. -
Febreze Car Vent Clips Freshener in Linen & Sky

Bought a few of these for the family cars but the smell was way too powerful for us. It definitely lingered around even when the car was off for a significant amount of time. Didn't seem to last too long though, but it worked in our favour because we wanted a new warm scent. Overall, if you like the linen & sky scent from Febreze then you will love this, but if you don't, this is too intense for you. -

Ok Ferrero...take all my money! I can never have enough of these around the house because they are a big hit with everyone of all ages. Something about biting into the crispy shell, the smooth nutella chocolate and then a big crunch into the hazelnut...it excites all the tastebuds. These will forever be a favourite of mine and a great gift for all occasions. -

This is my holy grail lengthening mascara from the drugstore. The plastic bristles are so tiny that they grab my stubby lashes and give them so much length that they tend to touch my eyelids; and even so the formula is dry enough that it doesn't always transfer. The brush successfully separates all my lashes and gives me a faux lash look that lasts all day. If I want a fuller look I tend to add a volumizing mascara like L'Oreal's Voluminous and it layers very well. The only gripe I have with this is that the brush head is so delicate that it tends to rip off in the tube after many uses, leaving the product useless. -

This is one of my favourite premium mascaras. I rarely spend money on mascaras that aren't from the drugstore because there are so many good quality ones out there, however, this is my exception. The bristles grab and coat all my lashes, root to tip, adding intense volume AND length. The formula is heavily pigmented and is long lasting. By the end of the day my eyelashes still have a curl and no flakes. -
Batiste Dry Shampoo Tropical Coconut & Exotic

For the money you can't beat this dry shampoo. I love the batiste line but this has to be my favourite scent of them all. It does it's job and quickly soaks up the grease of dirty hair. However, the only reason I tend to use my Batiste brunette bottle more is that it can leave an awful white cast and if i'm in a hurry I don't have time to carefully work the product into my hair. -
Maybelline New York Facestudio Master Camo Colour Correcting Kit

I would say this is one of the better drugstore correcting kits but it isn't amazing at fully correcting my spots and darkness. The consistency is a little too creamy for my combo skin type- anytime I used the salmon or green colour to correct, it ended up slipping around when I put foundation on top and I would have to go over it with more product. Initially the salmon colour did a good job at neutralizing the darkness under my eyes, however when I put concealer on top of it the product started to slide around and lost it's effectiveness. Also, when I added the concealer either on top of the salmon corrector or used alone it heavily creased on my eyes because of how creamy it was (with or without setting powder). I enjoyed using the top highlighter for carving out my brows and the lower one for highlighting the top points of my face. The lower shimmer highlight gave a natural subtle pink glow which is good for daytime but I preferred it when I set it with another similar highlighting powder to add more intensity. -

I love finding good quality drugstore mascaras and this one is now in my top 3. With mascaras it's rare that you find one that actually provides both length and volume so I end up using two different ones to achieve the look I want, however, the bristles on this brush hugged all my lashes to get dramatic length and the perfect volume (without looking clumpy). Usually mascaras that can achieve both have formulas that are heavy and can weigh down my tiny lashes, but this one held the curl and did not flake off through out the day.

I love finding holy grail foundations at the drugstore and this one has just been added to my collection. It's a buildable medium to full coverage foundation that is long wearing for normal to oily skin types. I am combo and get a little more oily around the T-zone through out the day and this foundation stayed on and did not move around like a lot of others do. This is a matte finish so for my dry girls this might not be for you, however I do have some dry patches around my nose and it's so lightweight that it did not cling onto those spots. I have used this with both a brush and a beauty blender, and although both applied the product nicely I do prefer the beauty blender because it leaves more of a natural finish. -

This is one of those items that you don't think you need until you use it. I have many other brow pencil highlights but they can be a lot waxier and tougher to blend out. The shape of this one is perfect to carve out the brows and the texture is so creamy and blendable. The medium coverage also helps to hide any small hairs left behind. The only reason I took two stars off for value is that you only get .04 oz for $11.99 and that is pretty pricey for a drugstore brow highlighter. -
