This is Snob on a Budget. Amanda, can you really get professional quality products at the drugstore? 110 % I love my drug store products. For instance the Dove beauty bar I love that it's sensitive enough that you can use it to remove your makeup at the end of the night. And some grandmas still look amazing because they've been using this beauty bar their entire lives. Another great drug store find that's a little bit underrated is Thermal Water. [ MUSIC ] So what you should do is when you hop out of the shower before you even dry off you just spray this all over your body. > Hair and skin? Yeah anything. It also makes all of the other products you use work ten times better. Next is the Micellar Water. This is basically a chemical water. It's a really gentle make- up remover. So if you put this on a sponge at the end of the day to remove your eye make- up, you won't even You can fill it. People wash their face with this instead of normal water. The other thing that we hoard are Makeup wipes. You can almost never have enough of these guys. Neutrogena makes the best kind and they last a really long time. The drug store is a great place to experiment with color. CoverGirl has their Lip Perfection Lipstick. Lipstick, it's not marketed as a stain but I swear it to you, it will last all day long. It's the most beautiful red color. Beautiful. Next is Maybelline mascara, the brush is just big enough to give you some fluff but also narrow enough to get under your lashes, above your lashes and In the corner, on the side, basically all over. Two things that I used growing up that I still use today is Pond's Cold Cream and Johnson and Johnson's Baby Oil. The Pond's Cold Cream is the best when it comes to removing make up, eye make up especially. I literally blab it on, let it sit, then you just use a wash cloth and wipe it all away. It's really easy, it's really gentle on your skin, and it feels really nice. Everyone should use some type of oil on their In their skin when they get out of the shower, just to kind of really lock in that moisture. You can use baby oil to help also remove make up which is really stuck on, right? Yeah, that's, I think the best thing about all of these products, basically is that they all put double duty.
