Over the past month, I have done some major spring cleaning around our home, and part of my cleaning spree included majorly downsizing my beauty collection. I’m the girl who can’t resist trying out every new beauty product on the market, and despite constantly donating unused products to local charities, friends, and family, my cabinets were still overflowing with products that I liked but didn’t love. After a week of sorting products to throw away, donate, and keep, I dramatically paired down my collection and rediscovered so many old favorites that I’d simply misplaced.
Now that my beauty closet is clean and organized, I’ve been on a major beauty kick. I’ve been testing new products left and right, and it’s been fun to add some of my old favorites back into my daily routine. If you’re a fan of affordable beauty products, today’s post is for you! I’m sharing two of my all-time favorite drugstore beauty finds along with a new find that’s affordable and incredibly effective. And the best part? They are ALL on sale right now!
3 Top-Rated Drugstore Beauty Products You Need in Your Life
You guys know that I will forever be a fan of drugstore beauty products. Of course I buy fancy-schmancy beauty products on occasion, but I truly believe that you don’t need to spend your entire paycheck on beauty products to get great results. I tend to buy drugstore beauty products at Walgreens because I love their reward program (I currently have a $20 reward to use on my next purchase!), and they always seem to have beauty new releases sooner than their competitors.
Plus, they have some pretty killer weekly deals. For example, this month, you can purchase Ponds, Simple and Vaseline products month long and get 2,000 points with the purchase of two products. To make things even sweeter, all of the products form those three brands are currently buy one, get one half off online through April 21st on the Walgreens website!
I have been in love with the Simple Micellar Wipes ever since they launched a few years ago. I am such a fan of micellar water cleansers, and it’s convenient to have the cleansing power of a micellar water in a convenient wipe. These micellar wipes are fantastic for removing makeup at the end of a long day, but they’re also fantastic for wiping away sweat after a long workout or simply refreshing your face in the warm spring and summer weather.
I honestly can’t tell you how many times I’ve purchased this products because I’ve already lost track, but I think I can safely guess-timate that I’ve purchased these makeup-removing cleansing wipes at least a dozen times if not more! They are effective, and I love that they’re safe for sensitive skin. I am stocking up on these wipes during the buy one, get one half off beauty sale at Walgreens this week!
Another holy grail drugstore skincare item is the Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Soothe Lotion. This lotion was one of the first products I ever mentioned on my blog (must have been five or six years ago), and I know that I’d been using this lotion even before that time period. Even after all this time, this lotion is still one of my all-time favorite beauty finds. It has a lightweight texture that softens your skin without leaving behind a greasy residue, and it absorbs quickly and easily. Plus, I love the lightweight scent this lotion leaves on your skin.
I’ve repurchased this product countless times, and I can’t foresee a time in my life when I won’t have this lotion in my beauty closet! If you’re looking for a lightweight lotion to treat your dry skin without spending a fortune, definitely try out this formula from Vaseline. It works like a charm, and the price tag will definitely make you smile!
When I was going through my skincare collection, I realized I needed to find a drugstore moisturizer to recommend to you guys. Since there are so many products on the market, I just scanned the Walgreens website to check out their bestselling products in that category. I chose to test out the Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturizer because it was one of the high-rated beauty products on the website, and wow, were the reviewers ever right!
This affordable drugstore moisturizer is ah-mazing. Like its name says, this moisturizer is richly hydrating and replenishing, and after a few uses, this moisturizer really stared to blow my socks off. I’ve been using it after I clean my face, apply serum and toner in the mornings, but it can be anytime your skin needs an extra dose of moisture. By the way, it looks gorgeous under makeup, and I even enjoy mixing a small amount of this moisturizer into my foundation to create my ideal tinted moisturizer!
