Drugstore Beauty Loot That I Actually Buy

Drugstore Beauty Loot That I Actually Buy

One of the many perks of being a beauty writer is getting sent free products from every brand before they even hit store shelves to test out and potentially review. As you can imagine, my beauty closet looks like a Sephora meets CVS.  When I fall in love with a product and begin using it consistently, occasionally I'll call in favors to my PR friends for refills, but most of the time I actually buy it.  Here's what I've been getting at the drugstore, because they're worth it.

Just apply to the apples of your cheeks, and you'll be ready to brace the cold!
