Hey guys!
This is a request from a friend who is wanting to make her dollar go farther, and not wanting to spend $$ at sephora anymore. So i am here to tell you the best of the best to get at your local drug store!
I have broken everything down into categories and given the best 2 products I have tried and would recommend. I love finding drug store products that are as good as high end products. If you buy from the drug store the posibilities for sales and coupons are greater than at sephora or Macys. Hope this helps cut the decision process down while saving you $$$$$$
