10 Drugstore Skincare & Makeup Finds

When it comes to drugstore skincare and makeup finds, I am easily intrigued. Many of these brands I have grown up with since my teens, and I trust them. Below is a list of my ten top favorite drugstore skincare and makeup finds that I swear by and have used for several years. Of course, I love to use luxury brands as well, but who does not like to save money especially when you can get the same results.

10 Drugstore Skincare & Makeup Finds

Crest White Strips– Although it’s important to have your teeth cleaned professionally, I use these white strips once a year in between cleanings to help keep my teeth white. Considering the amount of coffee I drink and the blueberries I put in my smoothies, my teeth would certainly be more stained without using these.

Neutrogena Cleansing Towelettes– These are a must when traveling because you do not need to bring along a cleanser or use a washcloth. I always have these in my suitcase. They also help to remove eye makeup. I usually rinse with water afterwards and then apply my night care regime.

Aquaphor– A great product to use on your cuticles, eyelashes, and of course to soften chapped lips. It also helps to moisturize my dry heels in wintertime. I also recommend the spray version as it helps to get those hard to reach places, like your back, in the winter months

Loreal Hydra Fresh Alcohol-Free Toner-This keeps my face feeling clean after cleansing and it also smells good

Maybelline Colossal Mascara– I like to change out my mascara often it just goes on much better when its news. For that reason, I do not want to spend a lot of money on mascara. This gives my thin lashes a lot of volume. If you’re looking to grow your lashes, I suggest checking out this post.

Maybelline Brow Pencil– I’ve been using a brow pencil since high school when I over tweezed, and my brows never grew back. This brow pencil has a brush at one end to groom your brows and then a pencil to fill in on its other end. A makeup tip I learned is to start with filling in the at the top of your brow and then define the arch. Do not forget the ends.

CeraVe Facial Moisturizer SPF 30– No matter the temperature you need to always apply sunscreen. This reasonably priced moisturizer makes it easy to avoid exposure to harmful rays all year round.

Olay Cleansing and Nourishing Body Wash-This great smelling body wash has hyaluronic acid in it to keep my skin feeling hydrated. I stopped using regular bar soap years ago and found this to be one of my favorites.

St. Ives Gentle & Smoothing Scrub; With rose water and aloe it is a very gentle way to exfoliate. I use this on my hands, neck chest and arms. It also leaves your skin feeling invigorated but remember to apply moisturizer afterwards.

Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser; This gentle cleanser removes your make up without drying out your skin. It was recommended to me by a dermatologist years ago when I was pregnant with my twins and breaking out. I haven’t stopped using it since.   

If you need a little stronger toner then this came highly recommended to me Thayers Facial Mist; it is witch hazel with aloe and it does not contain alcohol. If your skin is on the oily side then this will leave your skin feeling cool and clean

These are my personal top 10 Drugstore Skincare & Makeup Finds. I am hoping that you discovered something new that you don’t have to splurge on. All these products work really well and can easily be found at local drugstores, Target and Walmart too.
