Do you like going to the drugstore? I personally love trolling those aisles. So much that I prefer to go by myself so I don't have to rush. On my last trip, not rushing, I picked up these three guys.
After writing the post on my homemade sugar scrub, I was on the lookout for an oil to make new batches. (And to those who were wondering how the scrub turned out, it was awesome but needed more oil and notsomuch of the olive kind.) This cocoa butter kind is the best! And all you really need for a great scrub is some yummy smelling oil and sugar. That's it. Also this cost about 3 bucks, on sale. The good vitamin E and jojoba oils were higher, around 7 or 8 dollars and I wasn't ready to commit.
I'm new to the Essie party, I know. But I made it! My local drugstore just started carrying it and I can now finally see what all your girls are talking about. The pretty display stopped me in my tracks and I picked up Clambake. I have to say, I actually love applying this much more than OPI.
Oh, hello 99 cents Nivea creme in a cute tin! So I don't really have moments during the day where I need moisture, and if I do, I use hand lotion. Most of the time, I'm blotting oil off my face. But at 99 cents I couldn't really pass this up.
And beauty bag staples you have that are found at the drugstore?

aquaphor advanced therapy healing ointment.... it's a cure-all! love your blog :)
i love essie... it takes longer to dry than opi though
I LOVE Nivea cream!!! It does a really good job of removing makeup.
I like putting it on a Q-tip and using it to make sure my eyeliner is even on both eyes :)
Drug stores, especially big everything stores like Target are my weakness. I always come out with a million little things. The cocoa butter bath wash is a good find though, I'd splurge for that one!
walmart sells essie now...i was in shock. my hubby loves all things oily..coco butter, and vaseline...give me a simple lotion and I am good...oh and cute polish like the one you have there.
Great finds! I saw that CVS starting carrying Essie and I got really excited! Thanks for the tip about the homemade body scrub!
I only shop at Sephora. Drugstores are the enemy. ;)
That looks like a new Essie bottle. And that cocoa butter I will have to try. I am sure on freshly shaved legs it will look great.
i'm new to the essie party too but loveee their reds!
i'm always a fan of clean and clear's oil absorbing sheets (or get the walgreens brand if you're a babe on the budget-- they work just as well!) because i'm "blessed" with combination skin. They absorb your oil without messing up your make-up which is pretty genius to me! :)
yesterday i bought my first burts bees tinted lip balm in rose and love it!
