Beauty Favorites + Shopping Tips


With the amount of research being done and the technological advances in the hair & makeup industry, I am always anxious to try the latest breed of beauty products when they are fresh on the market.  Though not many of them make the cut for my top picks, these four in particular have impressed me & will be regular purchases of mine going forward.  And I’ve also included below some penny-pinching tips on how to buy your favorite drugstore items for less!

1) Vichy Laboratories CelluDestock Intensive Cream  //  2) Pantene Expert Age Defy Thickening Treatment
3) CoverGirl Lash Blast Clump Crusher  //  4) Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Tone Correcting Moisturizer



A recent discovery of mine was that I could buy all the products I use daily through Drugstore.com.  Not only do they offer free shipping on all orders over $25, but in most cases they have the products at a lower price than I could find in the store.  PLUS when you use Ebates (if you aren’t already a member, you can sign up here for free), you earn 10-12% cash back (depending on the promotion they are running) for every Drugstore.com purchase…which can really add up!    

Obviously, there is a little planning involved since you have to order your products ahead of time so you don’t run out.  But, why not earn cash back for the things you need on a regular basis anyway (think toothpaste, deodorant, vitamins – even protein powder & bars).  In my opinion, the cost savings involved definitely makes it worth the forethought.

{This is not a sponsored post – I have just seen a difference in my own wallet since using this method & was eager to share those same money-saving tips with you!}

    This is great of you to share! I've been using ebates for the past year and have really seen the cost savings when doubling it up with other promotions. You can even download the ebates 'icon' onto your web browser and when you visit a site it automatically shows you the cash back %. They make it so easy for you to save $$! It's a no brainer!

    Never heard of drugstore.com… I will have to check it out! I had intentions of ordering all of my toiletry type items from Amazon since I can get them for free through swagbucks, but it takes a TON of work and I just don't have that much time now.

    Your nails always look great–do you use a topcoat? I'm researching fast dry options like seche vite and poshe. Leaning towards poshe because it has fewer chemicals. Do you have a top coat rec? Thanks!

    Hi Erica,

    Yes, I swear by the Seche Vite brand of Dry Fast topcoat because it works better than anything I've tried. Let me know if you end up getting the Poshe and what you think…because I'd love to find one without the harsh chemicals! 🙂

    xo,
