Drugstore Skincare Haul and O.P.I

I was at Walmart a while back, looking for some new skin care items to try out. Ive been using these ever since i got them and some of them i absolutely love. So here are my thoughts on each item.


*Clean and Clear Deep Action Exfoliating Scrub
Not the best exfoliating scrub in the world but for the price you can't beat it.
Doesn't really do much for clogged pores but it does get rid of the dry skin on your face and leaves it feeling clean. If you don't like products that leave a tingly, cool menthol sort of feeling on your face then don't get this product because it definitely does. Overall i think its great if you are looking for a product in the 5 dollar range to get rid of dry patchy skin.

*Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser
*Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream
I ABSOLUTELY love these items!!! First lets talk about the cleanser. The formula is clear and it doesn't sud up like most cleansers do but it gets rid of all my makeup and it's mild yet incredibly effective. It cleared up all of my break outs and left my skin feeling clean.Also a big plus for me is that this product is non-comedogenic!
What more can you ask for?
The Moisturizer is absolutely amazing.If you suffer from eczema this is the product for you. I have some of the back of my arms and i have tried everything and nothing seemed to work. I was recommended this product from a friend, and since i started using it the eczema has improved dramatically. How did i ever live without this moisturizer???

*Pond's Dry Skin Cream
Love this as a facial moisturizer. It has a soft, creamy consistency and doesn't leave your skin feeling oily or greasy. Be careful with this product though because a LITTLE goes a very long way.

*Neutrogena Make-up Remover Cleansing Towelettes
I am not completely sold on these wipes. They do get eye makeup off rather easily but they tend to leave my face feeling oily if i use them on their own.

While i was there i couldn't resist passing by the nail polish isle haha!
I picked up 3 fun spring/summer colors.All three are the brand Nicole by O.P.I

Left to right: Truth or Lilac, Hint of Mint, Play Fair
Out of the three Play Fair is my favorite, it kind of reminds me of Stars and Rockets eyeshadow by MAC once its on my nails.

MAC Pret-a-Papier





This collection was pretty big but nothing much stood out to me. All i purchased was Instant Chic Blush and Coral Crepe paint pot. I absolutely love corals for the spring/summer so these were perfect. Below are pictures and swatches.

Instant Chic Blush:Midtone muted coral (Sheertone) $18.50

Coral Crepe Paint Pot: Soft coral (Satin) $16.50

Top:Instant Chic Blush
Bottom:Coral Crepe Paint Pot
