Spinoff thread: What are your top/favorite drugstore finds for WoC?

[MACaholic76]

Just wanted to continue to share the wealth and find out what other goodies from the d/s we are loving. I have a few:
- L'oreal HIP foundation/True Match. Excellent range of colors and actually very impressive for d/s. What I love the most is how much yellow/warmth is in these compared to how pink and/or ashy other brands are on my skintone.
- L'oreal Carbon Black Voluminous mascara - love this!
- Max Factor 2000 calorie mascara - my every day mascara!
- L'oreal Color Juice glosses - Love these...great texture, smooth and shiny. My favorite is Berry Burst.
- OoO Complete moisturizer for oily/combo skin
- Cetaphil lotion (a little greasy but great for the winter time)
- Neutrogena acne wash - a family staple!
- Pantene shampoo and conditioners - I've tried all brands, from super high end expensive stuff to the least expensive and this is the only thing that hydrates my curls.

I'll add more stuff as it comes to me. I'm also curious about Ambi skincare. We have like 3 items (cleanser, lotion and something else) at my Target.

I don't know about the Ambi cleanser & anti-blemish creams, but i do LOVE the Facial Moisturizer!!! It is my HG - i am NEVER w/out this! this is the ONLY moisturizer i have EVER repurchased - and i have tried just about ever drugstore moisturizer & several high-end ones also.

One of the main things i love about it is that its SPF 30 - very very few moisturizers, whether low or high end have SPF 30, & those that do are VERY greasy!!! This one however, is so light - it just melts into the skin and doesn't leave it an oil slick!!!
It has a light fragrance, but i don't mind it, and my skin is HIGHLY sensitive and usually would react to something like this.

It is very affordable in my opinion, & i have thought on numerous occasions "I hope they NEVER stop making this!!!"

Thanks! This is very helpful information. Every single time I go to target I grab this and put in my shopping basket but then it never makes it to the cashier cuz I keep thinking spf30 = greasy. I'm glad it's not. I'll purchase this next time!

I'm not a big fan of drugstore brands, but I do like Loreal Mascaras. I also like Avon products.

 

[AfricanaEyes]

I swear by Revlon eyeliners, Loreal HIP pigments, L'Oreal mascaras and NYC's quick fix lip stuffs. Oh and Rimmel's eye stuff is pretty fab too...I like their liquid liners.

I can also get into Mary Kay lippies if I'm goin' through my Mom's purse.

Oh...and Milani. Just wonderful in color selection for lips, nails and eyes.
