Bossy Essentials: Drugstore faves

I confess, I am a girly girl, and I love me some beauty products. At the moment I'm ignoring Sephora's siren song—we are budgeting! That doesn't mean a total moratorium on shopping, however. Forthwith, my favorite (cheap!) products found at your local drugstore. Won't you share your faves in the comments?


Neutrogena Body Oil: I use this every day right after my shower, and it makes my skin soft all day long. Also great as a bath oil.

CoverGirl Liquiline Blast Eyeliner: My favorite eyeliner, especially in "Violet Voltage."

Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes: No matter how many expensive cleansers I buy, I cannot for the life of me make myself wash my face before bed. These are much faster and easier, and they don't have to be packed in a clear zip-loc bag when I'm traveling. I also like these when I want a change.

Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Night Cream: I love the way my skin feels the next morning after using this.

Dr. Teal's Epsom Salt Soaking Solution: I love a good bath, but bath salts can be so expensive! This giant bag is cheap but gives you exactly what you need—lovely scents and the healing powers of epsom salts.

Frizz-Ease Secret Weapon: I swear by this finishing cream, which smoothes flyaways and makes hair shiny. And you need such a tiny amount that a bottle will last a long long time.
