I adore FAB (First Aid Beauty)'s ultra repair cream. This cream is so soothing and hydrating on my parched, winter skin! I use it twice a day on my face. It's even great for dry knees and elbows.
It has a nice, whipped texture and while it goes on thick it absorbs nicely into the skin without feeling heavy. I'll buy this product again and again.

I have tried countless mascaras of all different price-points and had resolved never to spend more than $10 on a mascara again because it just didn't seem like anything was worth the extra money. Well, I am officially a convert. Take my money... +
I have tried countless mascaras of all different price-points and had resolved never to spend more than $10 on a mascara again because it just didn't seem like anything was worth the extra money.
Well, I am officially a convert. Take my money, Benefit, because I don't think I can ever go back.
My lashes are naturally thin and not very long but They're Real! Mascara gives them exactly the pop I'm looking for without sticking together, without the clumps, and without flaking into my eyes,
(And it doesn't hurt that their packaging it cute!)

As far as foundations go, I'd say this one is definitely worth the money for the right skin type!
The dryness of my skin tends to vary day-to-day, so on days when I felt like my skin was dewy and well hydrated, this foundation stayed on all day - with and without setting spray - and offered great coverage for redness. It's also SPF15 (bonus!).
Unfortunately, on drier days - you know those days when you could just bathe in moisturizer and still feel flaky! - it made my skin feel tight, dry, and sore and no amount of primer or moisturizer seemed to help make the foundation more wearable.
I'll keep using this product on dewy days, but will definitely be opting for a more hydrating foundation on dry days.

AG's Control Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is a critical part of my hair care routine.
I have psoriasis on my scalp and have gone through countless psoriasis and dandruff shampoos, but AG Control is the only one that has worked for me consistently. It's formula is mild compared to many of the products you might find at a drugstore and never leaves my scalp feeling overly dry/tight or greasy. The scent is easy on the nose and doesn't have any tar-like smells to it.
I've been using this product twice a week for about 10 years and anytime I've gone to another product for a few weeks my scalp starts to feel sore, itchy, and flaky. If you have dandruff or mild-to-moderate scalp psoriasis and are looking for a new shampoo to try, I would definitely suggest giving AG Control a shot!

I don't have particularly frizzy hair, but I use kms de-frizz oil on towel dried hair when I get out of the shower. I have fine hair that tangles easily and this product acts as a gentle de-tangler as well as keeping flyaways in check. It's also nice to use on dry, styled hair to smooth out ends or define curls. -

Full Disclosure: I am a sucker for a cheeky product name.
This drug store brand lip plumper probably isn't going to blow your mind, but it works reasonably well for the price. Like most plumpers, it tingles a bit. I don't find much sensation on my lips themselves, but you'll feel it if you get it outside your lip-line or inside your mouth a bit.
I use this product when I feel like my lips are looking just a bit thin and I want them perked up a bit without going to the trouble of lining/contouring.

This is a light coverage foundation that I find is a great compliment to the rest of my makeup routine, including primer and powder. I find I can get good mileage out of this foundation, needing very little to cover my whole face and wearing it for several hours without needing touch ups.
I have combination skin and find it applies smoothly over all areas of my face. I definitely recommend a powder or setting spray over this product, however, or you may feel it doesn't completely dry and may wipe off on hands or clothes.
Also, it smells really lovely! One of my fav drugstore foundsations.

This StriVectin product definitely made my eyes feel more awake.
It should be used both AM and PM, however I found it wasn't a good choice under makeup as it tended to become a bit clumpy. I think this is probably an excellent choice for those with routines that don't include makeup in the morning or can allow an hour or two between applying this eye cream applying makeup around the eye.
I also found that it has a bit of a warming/ tingly sensation. It's not overpowering, but if you have very sensitive skin, I would suggest requesting a sample to try on a very small area before applying this around both eyes.

Overall, I was satisfied with this Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer and I loved the way it smoothed the look of my pores and fine lines. It goes on smooth over softer, smoother areas of my face. Be careful using this primer over dry patches, however, as it can feel chalky. I would also recommend sticking with lighter makeups if you're going to wear anything over this primer as it can feel a bit heavy. -

This liquid eyeliner pen comes with both a brush tip and a felt tip to allow you some flexibility. It's waterproof but does come off easily with makeup remover. I can easily wear this product all day without the eyeliner feeling dry/cracked. The line doesn't smudge - it continues to look fresh for hours. It's a great value at around $13 - definitely one of my favourite liquid eyeliners in this price-range. -
