@SportyShorty07 hi there!!! What are your current go to serums, moisturizers etc?! I always love your recommendations and they’re affordable ☺️☺️. Hope you have a great weekend!!

@Applecakes  Well hello there, Apple Cakes ! Great to hear from you! I still love your profile name- it is so cute that it was your nickname growing up! I am indeed a Bargain Babe- I can be seen in the Walgreens aisles crouching down to see the Rimmel makeup displays and on my tippy toes to see the Loreal displays .  That's so sweet- I'm glad that you like my affordable drugstore recommendations! Even if I win the lotto someday, I'll still stick to my favorite drugstore products.   I'm still alternating the Neutrogena SPF 60 face moisturizer and the La Roche Posay Double Repair SPF 30 moisturizer.  My favorite serum is:

 Good Molecules Niacinimide serum: it's only $6 on Ulta's website and I use 2 drops of it underneath my moisturizer every morning and it keeps my skin clear and helps with some small acne hyperpigmentation from my late 20's.  This helps with pores and brightening and skin texture.  So many skincare benefits, a little goes a long way and one bottle has lasted me almost a year. 

Olay Daily Facials water activated dry cloths:  These are $12.29 for a pack of 66 on Amazon.  I love these: they clean off a full face of makeup without stripping any of my natural skin oils.  I feel so fresh and clean after using these.  I use these 1-2 times a week.  These are perfect for nights when I'm watching youtube or reality tv shows and I can feel myself drifiting off to sleep on the couch- then I jolt up and think to myself, "wash your face! Do it! Come on- don't go to bed with makeup on! You're better than this- wash your face"   These cleansing cloths get all of my makeup off in less than a minute and they work with hot or cold water.  These are perfect for travel or for the gym, or nights when I've watched everything on my DVR in one sitting .

     The Niacinimide serum and the Olay Daily Facial cloths are my two favorite drugstore beauty items lately.  Do you have some favorite affordable skincare items? I'll take note and jot them down .  Have a great weekend too!

@SportyShorty07 thank you!! One of my tried & true drugstore faves is the Eucerin Q10 anti wrinkle cream! It’s in a pink and white packaging. It’s such a deal, I know Amazon, Walgreens and Target sell it varying from $9.99 to $12.99. It’s nice and think yet not pore clogging almost like a custard texture and I love it at night in the winter especially. I have been using it for 20 years on and off it’s always my go back to night cream when I stop using/liking a new find!

@Applecakes   Oooh I've never tried Eucerine Q-10 Anti Wrinkle Cream! Thank you for that recommendation- you had me at custard, I love custard ! At $10 the price is right- take my money, Amazon!! Bonus points for recommending an unscented sensitive skin anti-wrinkle night cream: none of the floral ingredients or scents from far away lands or teenage actress anti-aging spokesmodels- its a tried and true and Apple Cakes approved night cream! Wonderful- and it'll be the sister to my Olay 7 in 1 Firming night cream !

@SportyShorty07 that Olay cream you suggested/love is wonderful! Such a timeless brand and trusted for so long 😊.

Clinique Take the Day Off is my Holy Grail makeup remover.

I removes everything including waterproof eye makeup and is gentle on my skin. My jars have always been odorless.  It leaves my skin clean, soft, not irritated. I usually double cleanse and follow with  foaming cleanser, but many times just end the cleanse there. 

To each his own.

I like ELF cleansing balm and Elf makeup remover serum. I always cleanse after using them. 

Korres yoghurt cleanser also does a nice job of removing makeup. I don't wear foundation, so it's not difficult to remove my skin tint or highlighter.

@Applecakes I'm so glad that you like the Olay 7 in 1 firming night cream ! It's my absolute favorite tried and true night cream: it is so lovely and affordable and I've been using it every night from my late 20's to now 35 .  Olay should come out with a hand cream- I'd love a 7 in 1 firming style Olay cream for the hands since I always forget to put on hand cream.  Do you have a hand cream that you enjoy using? 

    I bought your favorite Eucerine Q-10 night cream- its coming in the mail today and I'm looking forward to trying it out! Thank you for that recommendation!

@SportyShorty07 yay so glad you ordered it, lmk how you like it! An Olay Total Effects hand cream would be great! Typically for my hands, I use the EOS body lotion with a pump. I usually just buy it at Target. They have a variety of scents (my fave is Vanilla Cashmere) and I like it because it’s moisturizing and not greasy and not expensive. In the winter if it’s really dry, I just mix a dab of Aquaphor with it to make it thicker. They do sell hand creams, but I’ve never tried it because it’s a smaller tube for more money lol!
