I used to be...

[empericalbeauty]

A store-brand snob (cvs brand, walgreens brand..etc.)

but no more! I have been looking for my TAAADAAAAAAH moisturizer and I didnt find it till now. I tried the CVS version of olay beauty lotion and I have to say, I am in love. I have only been using it for 2 days now but it leaves me skin soft, dewy and provides adequate SPF. It was dirt cheap too and it was very rich (imo). rich enough for even a night cream. I also am loving the Palmer's scar serum to help soften and even fade my past acne scars. fingers crossed, Ladies! lets hope this is THE ONE.

Has any of you tried any drugstore brand (walgreens, walmart, cvs, krogers) line and absolutely loved it..even more than the name brand stuff?

Not skin care wise LOL! I believe in Publix Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream is the best ever! Oh, they have awesome sweet tea too! Publix subs are the bomb too! LOL! Like I said, not skin care items LOL!

Wow, really! That's very good to know.

No, personally I have not tried any store brand stuff. Maybe I will now..

Thanks for the info

I have tried a lot of store brand stuff.... tons actually haha! just like you...

I love love love cetaphil lotion and facial cleanser!! so good! .. the mousturizer leaves my skin feeling very comfortable and the cleanser is really gentle

I also use the cetaphil face cleanser to clean my foundation brush too (good lil tip!)

I hope your lotion is THE ONE!!

 

[SierraWren]

Absolutely. I love all Roc products and consider most Neutrogena products to be as good to significantly better than my other favorite skincare line, Clinique. I love CVS and Target, all drugstores carrying these terrific skincare products. (I'm a recovered name-brand snob as well.)

In my personal experience, high end stuff works better for me.

i've never tried the store brand skincare, but love my walgreens brand antibac hand soap. i buy it by the gallon and even use it to wash some of my brushes.

haha I kind of have to. I can't afford to buy all my make up at MAC so I settle for eye make up from Wal-mart and Meijers. not to mention my dream matte mousse foundation. If I made more then 7.30 an hour I probably would get mostly name brand make up. Olay regenerist cleanser worked really nice for me. It's got little exfoliating beads in it, and it warms up when you put it on your face.
