Like most of you, I’m a high end kind of girl who doesn’t mind paying extra for my Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil because… its better than anything else on the market. I would turn my nose up at the idea of buying make-up or skin care from the drugstore because “I could afford better.”
But what about the products hiding in your CVS that are just as good as their high-end counter parts. Would you then be willing to go the discount route?
Every now and again I find great bargains at the drugstore that make me squirm because the product is sooo good, but my inner snob rebels. So, while I will never purchase foundation from Walgreens (MAC all the way, baby!), I have recently discovered two treasures that I wanted to share:
NYC Copper Sparkle Nail Polish:
This may actually be my favorite vampy nail polish of all time, at it retails for less than $3 a pop!! The color is a magnificent blend of dark brown and blackened plum with tons of… you guessed it, copper sparkles. The combination sounds a bit odd, but try it. In real life, its magic.
Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash:
I was at a girlfriend’s house for a spa party and noticed this in the bathroom. This staple for high schoolers has the same active ingredients as DDF Salicylic Acid Face Wash… in the same percentage! So… $35 for DDF, or $5 for Neutrogena??
