BEAUTY CONFESSIONS: TOP DRUGSTORE PICKS FOR SEPTEMBER 2014

Each month I’m going to continue to expand on what I think are fabulous finds among drugstore beauty products that you should all get your hands on! As stated in my past beauty confessions , I have another little addiction I love buying and trying different beauty products, so what better way than to feed this habit then writing monthly what I think are amazing finds for all of you gals to try out.  Rather than turning to high-end beauty departments initially for your skin and beauty needs it’s always best to spend less to impress! That’s why I have done my research and have chosen  my top 6 finds this month for makeup, face, and hair! Read on to becoming beautilicious!


#1 KLORANE DRY SHAMPOO  WITH OAT MILK $19.50

Often times shampooing your hair strips away the natural oils that we have in our hair that protect against those darn split ends! Most of us including myself have suffered the effects of over shampooing which in a worst-case scenario can leave your hair looking like straw from a broom! If you want to give your hair a break from shampooing or want to extend a great blow out this is perfect alternative.  Less shampooing is always best when it comes to washing your hair. The oat milk in this botanical formula softens, protects, and moisturizes hairs. For those with hair that is  color treated, damaged, dry, or with super busy lifestyles this is a great find.  Not only does it cut back on the amount time you spend styling your precious hair, but also it reduces the potential damage that comes with blow-drying, flat ironing, and curling.

2 # REVLON COLORBURST LAQUER BALM $9.49


Pucker up because this product is one fall find you need to get your lips on! Amazing to say the least it has a three benefits all wrapped up in one - hydration, shine, and extended wear! And it doesn’t stop there oh yes it gets even better that it’s a retractable crayon which means you don’t need to get out the sharpener.

3 #  FIT MAYBELLINE SHINE FREE  FOUNDATION STICK $8.99


This product is one-step quick application and is great for those with oily to combination skin who don’t have much time to spend getting beautilicious! Versatility defines this product to a tee whether you want to use as a concealer , highlighter, or over all foundation. I actually just started using this product less than week , because it’s super quick to apply and blends well with bronzer, powder, or blush.  The natural finish powders make it look like I’m not wearing makeup. For those of you who are extremely oily and become as shiny as mirror by the end of the day this lightweight oil free gel stick and its anti-shine benefit is your match made in heaven!(refer back to steps to finding the perfect make-up soul mate). I can’t say enough good things about this product, however if your skin leans more towards the drier side then this wouldn’t be a fit.

4# GARNIER FRUCTIS MARVELOUS OIL DEEP NOURISH $5.99


If you have been reading my blog it’s probably not a surprise when I say I’m a marketers dream come true when it comes to making impulse purchases based on what the product claims, so it wasn’t a shock when I was lured to  this product from the wording “5-action hair elixir. ” I was quite intrigued, and that’s code for "in the basket!" Surprisingly this product lived up to its expectations  and repaired, moisturized, reduced frizz, and added shine and did all of the above without leaving a greasy residue. This formula is custom-blended with Cupuaçu & Brazilnut, which repairs your hair, and for $5.99 you can use it five ways: pre-shampoo treatment, conditioner booster, blow-dry accelerator, ends finisher, and overnight leave in. Do I need to say more?

#5 SIMPLE MOISTURIZING FACIAL  CLEANSER $6.99

 So you have some new  goodies to try with hair  and makeup, and now onto skincare!  Any good skincare routine starts with a good facial cleanser. Even if you don’t have sensitive skin this cleanser is great for all skin types, It’s gentle soap free formula removes dirt, oil, and  other impurities without over drying the skin. Its unique formula is packed with pro vitamin B5 and vitamin E  to keep you skin hydrated and soft.  For those of you that tend to have skin that gets irritated easily and are more prone to getting reddish this is your savior!  There is no harsh chemicals, dyes, and there is brisabolol and chamomile which calm and smooth skin.   I love  hows this product  feels on my skin and after using it how radiant and glowing my skin looks. This product is an amazing find because it works well with all skin types, so you can share the bliss with all your family members or roommates!

#6 GARNIER SKIN RENEW DARK SPOT ANTI-SUN DAMAGE MOISTURIZER  $12.99

No sundae is complete without the maraschino cherry! I like to think that skincare is like a sundae full of a variety of scoops from the cleanser, to the moisturizer, and treatment.  With that being said, no skincare routine is complete with out a good moisturizer and treatment system. Whether the treatment is for acne, dark spots, scars, aging, or to decrease wrinkles try looking for  product that has both. Luckily, I was already having fantastic results with the Garnier  Dark Spot Remover so  when I came across this  all in one treatment for only $12.99 I couldn’t resist!  I rotate this product with my other moisturizer a few times a week, either at night or daytime.  Within a week  I noticed improvement in the texture and tone of my skin.  Old marks were lifting and fine lines on my forehead were dissipating. This product has an SPF 28, vitamin c that fades dark spots and increases cell turnover, and really excels as a moisturizer. Expect to see significant results if you use daily for a month.
