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

Vichy Purete Thermale Hydra-Soothing Toner Review

** This post was written by Fiona. She no longer blogs for Swatch And Learn. However, Mary still continues to blog and will be happy to reply to your comment. **

I don’t believe that everyone needs a skin toner. It really all depends on how your skin responds to your cleaner. But if you feel you need one, then allow me to recommend the Vichy Purete Thermale Hydra-Soothing Toner!

Previously I used the Vichy Purete Thermale Hydra-Perfecting Toner (it’s blue, and it‘s for normal to combination and sensitive skin), but I finished the bottle before I got a chance to review it. Then I saw that Vichy has one specifically for dry, sensitive skin – so I got that instead. I can’t tell a huge difference between the two though. My skin doesn’t feel taut or parched after using either. Continue reading

Nighttime is when the skin naturally rejuvenates itself, so I always take advantage of this time by providing my skin with everything it needs.

The Vichy Purete Thermale Purifying Foaming Cream Cleanser is a must-have part of my nighttime routine. Why? Just a few tests that it passes: it cleanses, it refreshes, and it doesn’t leave my skin dry. Continue reading

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Light Cream Fortifying & Soothing 24Hr Hydrating Care Review

** This post was written by Fiona. She no longer blogs for Swatch And Learn. However, Mary still continues to blog and will be happy to reply to your comment. **

My skin is weird (like me). It’s dry, but some spots can get oily. And when I run my finger across the oily spots, I also see my skin flaking. Even still, I would classify it as dry. (One time, the lady who was threading my eyebrows actually commented on how dry my skin is. Kinda embarrassing.)

In my search of a moisturizer that hydrates without clogging, I decided to give Vichy Aqualia Thermal Light Cream Fortifying & Soothing 24Hr Hydrating Care a try. I like Vichy and am usually fond of their products, but this moisturizer…I‘m not overly enthusiastic about. Continue reading
