Beauty on a budget

Here I'm going to show you some of the best drugstore beauty finds for makeup and skin care. Their is no reason to be ashamed of not wanting to spend crazy amounts of money on high end products. No one needs to break the bank to look their best. In fact, Ive seen some drugstore brands that offer better results then more expensive brands. I'm excited to show you some of my favorites that can all be purchased at Walgreens.

Mint julep mask is one of my favorite drug store skin care items. Usually I buy it from Walgreens. It contains kaolin, a type of white clay that draws impurities out of the skin and has been used for hundreds of years in facial spas. Mint julep mask contains glycerin, a great moisturizer. This mask also contains Bentonite clay as well which is an ingredient thats really effective for treating oily skin types. I recommend this for acne prone or congested skin. It has a very short ingredients list which is beneficial as the more ingredients a product has the more chances it has of causing irritation to the skin. It also has a wonderful refreshing minty smell, and leaves the skin soft and smooth. It costs only 2.99 purchased from Walgreens.
