Jojoba Oil from Desert Essence!

and my favorite thing... Eucerin Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Sensitive Skin Cream!!! They don't sell this in Canada anymore and I got my brother who lives in the US to buy me a dozen of it from Walgreens and I gave half a dozen away and kept the rest in my treasure linen closet! This stuff WORKS!!!

I have been subconsciously loyal to these products for ages....(here in Australia our 'drugstores' are 'the chemists' or pharmacy) Smile

DermaVeen Soap Free Wash pH 5.5 I mix this with my MD Formulations Scrub for daily exfoliation. It smells better than the Cetaphil Gentle cleanser, and has 1% Natural Colloidal Oatmeal which doesn't dry me out.

Maybelline Lash Discovery (Waterproof formular) I love it for its mini barrel-shaped brush that gets to corners and ONLY waterproof mascara holds the curl for my Asian lashes.

Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo ...perfect to wash makeup brushes

Blistex Lip Balms...both the pot and tube are great and so affordable you can keep one everywhere, car, desk, and one in every bag. Very Happy

Ambre Solaire 30+ SPF Probably a lot less cheaper SPF for the body out there but I love this one for it's scent, and high protection. I bought two bottles to Fiji and used it up between me and hubby, that's one bottle a week. Wink

My fav is nice'n easy Color Seal. It used to come in packages of hair color but I guess others have loved it as much as I do...so they now sell it by itself! I love it cuz you can rinse it out leave it in - makes my hair very silky!!!

Revlon Colorsilk #43.Its the most natural brown color ever. Sometimes Target has it on special 2 boxes for $3!Sally Hansen Lip Inflation $5.Its as good as Sephora XL Lip Fusion for $50,I have both no difference! Tresemme' hair products I love all of them they are excellent and very reasonable, I use their special shampoos etc to keep the color in my hair.Ponds agedefying towelettes with retinol to remove makeup-I love these.

I've tried ALOT of different foundations but I always go back to Relvon ColourStay. It lasts all day and has great coverage. I'm also a huge fan of Sally Hansen Lip Inflation and Witchcraft Nail Hardener.

My current discovery is L'Oreal Nutrisoft Body Lotion for dry skin. It's a great body lotion for summertime (esp. during the day) and it smells SO nice, too!

Unfortunately, we don't have the same kinds of "drugstores" here, or the same selection. What I have have gotten a hold of though in similar shops:

- Revlon Colorstay concealer for undereyes (WHY have they discontinued it here!?)
- LipFusion XL plumper (what seems to be the closest I've gotten to plumper lips).
- GlyOxide for teeth whitening and Ardell lash serum from the US (Thanks Carekate)
- 1000 hours lash tint (bought at online drugstore)
- Maybelline Superstay 16 hrs, two-sided lipstick+balm 2 in 1 piece (for lasting power and flawless on lips throughout the day. It's more of a stain really. Wish they had more nude, softer colors though, like the scandinavian Lipfinity NUDES range)

I just love going to the drugstore... isles and isles of stuff to try, and most of it is so inexpensive that if it doesn't work you aren't out a ton of money. And you can try out new makeup colors before buying them in a better brand.

I regularly use:
St. Ives apricot scrub- I use it on my body with a couple of drops of olive oil for moisture
Neutrogena anti-residue formula shampoo and conditioner- It washes all the crap that weighs down my super fine hair, but it's not harsh at all.
Cover Girl lash exact mascara- Out of every mascara I've ever tried, expensive or not, this one is my absolute favorite!
Almay makeup
Softsoap Milk Protein and Honey bodywash- I don't know if you have this brand outside of Canada, but I adore this body wash. It smells amazing, and it fills the whole bathroom with the yummy smell. It leaves my skin really soft too.
Vaseline lotions

in winter, I couldn't survive without Neutrogena unscented hand cream. It's the only hand cream I like.

I've got to say Boots. I use their highlighting concealer (similar to YSL) and have purchased it on several occasions. It's the only concealer I use now.

Burt's Bees orange essence cleanser (great exfoliating cleanser. Based on OCM but made with glycerin so it acts as an oil but dissolves with water. Brilliant!)
Pond's clean sweep towelettes (Great when you are too tired...or smashed to wash your face. Take of mascara with one swipe and don't sting my eyes)
Q-Tips (use these for EVERYTHING!)
Desert Essence lip rescue with shea (The most amazing lip moisturizer. Makes my lips full and smooth)
Desert Essence daily renewal shampoo (The only shampoo I'll use now. Keeps my scalp healthy)
Bonnebell Eye Style Mascara (Everyone needs to stop buying this so I can find it in stock!)
Stridex alcohol free SA pads (don't use these on my face but they are perfect for the neck and chest, and anywhere my KP flares up)
ETA:
Ambi black soap with shea (the only body soap that doesn't give me hives)
