Drugstore Miracles
A little can go a long way… Drugstore brands can work miracles just like a name brand cosmetic product. With all the hype and marketing put into designer brand products, we can’t help but be influenced by such glorified media. We think cheaper products will not work as effectively as the designer ones. Well, here are some drugstore brands that undoubtedly work miracles, no matter what any magazine advertisement says. Good Housekeeping Magazine mentions some beauty basics you can
easily find at a superstore or drugstore. So stock up on these drugstore essentials and experience the miracles. Take advantage on the many ways you can use them.
Aquaphor Healing Ointment: known for applying onto scrapes and cuts for speeding up healing process and prevent scarring
Miracle- This ointment is not only helpful for cuts, but can also be used to moisturize chapped lips. When applied over your lipstick color, this can also create a lip gloss effect making your lips shiny and smooth. Also, try using a little and brush over unruly eyebrows. The texture will help secure loose hairs in place and create a nicely structured brow along your face. This can also be used on rough areas of the body as a hydrating lotion like elbows, hands and feet. Consider using this miracle brand for the under-eye area, which will do the same as any other department store eye cream.
Q-tips Cotton Swabs: known to clean your ears
Miracle- These cotton swabs can also be used to correct makeup mistakes or to apply eyeshadow (instead of using the cheap applicators find in eyeshadow palettes). Use swabs to gently take off excess makeup or powder particles from shadows. Dip into makeup remover to get the hard to reach places when taking off your eye makeup.
Lubriderm Daily Moisture: used to hydrate and moisturize your body’s skin
Miracle- This lotion can also be applied to the face. With the ingredients used, this lotion is subtle enough to be used as a face cream and not as harsh as other lotions available. Also, try using as a shaving cream on legs. The smooth lotion will assist in a clean shave while adding moisture to your legs. This drugstore miracle is not only useful for the skin but also for your hair. By rubbing a small amount in your palms, you can simply brush it along your hair to prevent or calm down frizziness.
Try saving on beauty essentials, and use these drugstore products which are multipurpose. A good product is one that can be used in multiple ways and that gives you the results you need for a more beautiful you! Provide more space on counter tops and in cabinets, and prevent your bathroom or vanity desk from looking like a store: Don’t be afraid to be low maintenance when it comes to a collection of beauty products. Your beauty should come in very few bottles.
