It’s gee-golly swell if you can afford to drop $30 on a lip gloss and $50 on a face primer. But really, a lot of us just don’t have the budget to do that – not even once in a while!

So when it comes to beauty products, I’ve learned not to discriminate. I’ve also learned that there are a lot of great drugstore products out there that do an awesome job, but for way less. You end up getting more makeup and products that you love for the money you’re willing to spend. And who doesn’t love that? 🙂

Today, I want to share with you the best drugstore beauty products & finds that I’ve come across. Let me know if you agree with any of these or if there are products you’d recommend! Continue reading →

The Beauty Products I Can’t Live Without

4 Replies

Products I Use Every DayThere were lots of products that I fell in love with. But sometimes things just weren’t meant to be. They started seeing other people. And they made up lame excuses for sneaking out in the middle of the night. Needless to say, the relationship was cut short.

Of course I was heartbroken, but new products entered my life. Some took me for dinner and a movie. Others serenaded me with a Spanish guitar. And one special product made me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.

Here are the products that I’ve been faithful to because they’ve never let me down when I needed them. We plan to grow old together and celebrate many happy anniversaries. Continue reading →

Marcelle Essentials Hydration Night Cream Review

I am very excited to announce that I found the most near-perfect night cream for me. Ever. And I’ve tried many and many.

Let me cut to the chase: Marcelle Essentials Hydration Night Cream gives me the hydration my dry skin needs. Yes, my skin feels super soft even when I wake up in the morning.

Why do I call it just “near-perfect”? Well, I’m demanding. I’d like to see someone or some brand create a cream that lasts 24 hours. This little baby does the trick for about 10 (an estimate – don’t quote me please), which is good. During the day though, my skin relies only on the hydration of my moisturizer with SPF, which isn’t enough. But that’s the only picky negative thing I can say about this cream. Continue reading →

Marcelle Vita-Lip Plumping Gloss Review – Desire

Hate that sticky, tacky, drying goo that is some lip glosses? Yeah, me too. That’s why I normally stay away from wearing them. But that doesn’t mean I stay away from looking at and testing them whenever I can in hopes of finding one that has the right texture.

Cue Marcelle Vita-Lip Plumping Gloss in Desire. I tested this product on my hand inside the drugstore, thinking it’ll just be sticky like all other lip glosses. But it actually feels soft and, well, un-superglue-like. So off to the register I went. A decision that was mostly good, but a little bad… Continue reading →
