Hello Loves
DRUGSTORE HAUL
I guess new year, new products? Atleast that is what I have noticed throughout many drugstores. It is not any secret that I do not really buy drug store make up too often, and I sometimes do recieve criticism for it. However, now I am 100% curious as to what drugstores are now offering.
My first dose of excitement came when I saw an old favorite of mine from my tween years: "Me! Bath" Bath Ice Cream. I read about this stuff for the first time in J-14 when I was in junior high, and I asked my mom to order it for me, and I loved it ever since. I stopped using for a few years, but now, I just re-discovered it at Walgreens! (Duane Reade for my New Yorkers). Defnitley give it a try. It's also well worth the money: for $10, you get six potent bath bombs.
My second dose of excitement came from discovering that they now (finally!) carry Soap & Glory in American stores! This was a brand I became hooked on after discovering it in London, and starting this year, you can find it in US stores. I really like the body butter Another bath company that is out of England that I love and hear is coming to the US is Boots. We will have to wait and see if it's true.
With the immense success of Kylie's expensive lip kits (which yes, I am a fan of, but that will be another post), I am rather surprised that the Kardashian/ Jenner clan has taken their brand to the budget market. I will say, it was very smart on Walgreen's part to do a collab with Kylie. Kylie has a line of nail polish by Sinful Colors now available at Walgreens.
**I got Kylie's polish in "Kitty Pink". I must say, I really do like it. It's a matte, light pink, that is very opaque for how low the price is: two coats is plenty. You can differentiate which ones are from Kylie's line because they have her name on the plastic wrap at the top. Do you honestly think a Kardashian/ Jenner would market something but not have their name all over it? They are easy to locate. Please note that often times the good colors are picked over, so it is important to get there once they get a new shipment. They sell out fast.
And finally, what is a trip to Walgreens without buying more hair products that I don't need? Please tell me I am not the only curly/ coarse-haired gal who hoards hair oil? If you are a hair-product hoarder like me, you must try this Dry Shea Butter Oil from Maui Moisture.
** A little but goes a long way. I honestly give this oil a solid 9/10, because it is the perfect back-up plan for when I need Moroccan Oil, but I do not have the funds for it. it is very lightweight, which is surprising, because it is loaded with whole, fatty oils such as macadamia, shea, and coconut oils that really make your hair shine. It smells clean and wonderful, but I fear in the summer the fruity, tropical scent may attract bees. The only thing I'd say to really watch out for is if you plan on traveling with it or taking on-the-go because it is a thick consistency and it can leak through the plastic cap a bit. Be sure to store upright.
If you have not yet checked out these awesome product lines, make sure you do! I also was infomred by the woman at the counter that Walgreens will soon be carrying Boots Skincare, an English favorite of mine, as well as Vicchy, and an extended European-exclusive collection of makeup and skincare from No. 7. Stay tuned as when these products arrive, I will be guinea pig and test them out. Thank you again for reading.
