Gal Picks: Cosmetic Edition

I'm excited to be doing our first Gal Pick post! If you missed the memo on what it is, check out this post here.

That being said, for the month of March I decided to have my girlfriends choose their top two favorite cosmetic products. They'll share why they love the products and the type of skin they have! Hopefully each of you will be able to relate to someone and find their products helpful.

The beauty of these products is they can be purchased at Target, local drug stores, etc.. 

Alana: Hey y'all! Alright, so my skin is normal to oily on my forehead/chin and then super dry around my nose and under my eyes. It's taken me awhile to figure out how to deal with that but these two products have been life savers! The face wash is very gentle and leaves my skin feeling clean and super soft! The Aveeno moisturizer has been the absolute best. A little bit goes a long way so I know it'll last me awhile. I put this on at night before I go to bed and then put a little extra around my nose and under my eyes. If I had any dry patches the night before they're completely gone the next morning! I seriously love this stuff! 

These two products can also be purchased at Target or a drug store! 

Abby: Hey! So when Abi asked me what products I like to use on my face, these two products came to mind. First, I absolutely love Carmex! I don't leave the house without it. It is the best thing for chapped lips due to the Aloe in it. Plus it's only $2.77 for 3 tubes. The other product I love is my Cetaphill face wash. I have normal to oily skin so this wash is perfect for that. It keeps the skin moist but also helps reduce oil. 

Can also be purchased at Target and other drug stores. 

Delaney: So naturally I have pretty normal skin. I get a little oily in my T-zone and around my nose. I was recently in Target with some of our friends and we were walking up and down the skin care isle and noticed the Neutrogena naturals. In the past year, I have tried to watch the products that I use and steer clear of harsh chemicals. This particular cleanser was something that jumped out at me so I decided to give it a try. 
I had heard from friends that toner is a great way to improve impurities from your skin and prevent black heads, so I bought this as well. I have been using both in my nightly routine. I first use Neutrogena to clean the skin then apply the toner to remove any excess dirt. This has helped reduce redness and has my face feeling clean and with minimal blemishes. Hopefully this is helpful for your skin care routine and finding products that work for you! 

Sarah: These two products are some of my favorite things to use when I wear makeup. If you know me, makeup isn't usually a part of my normal routine so when I do, I like to have products that really make my face look natural and crisp. One thing in particular that I like to cover is the redness on my cheeks. Both of these products seem to do the trick without being too much at the same time. The Too Faced Primed & Poreless Primer is the best primer I have ever used. It actually reduces the appearance of pores and helps keep my makeup on all day long. My second product is, Stilla BB Cream. This is a light and airy alternative to liquid foundation. If I am not wanting too much on and an easy routine, this one does the trick for me. If I am wanting fuller coverage I just add a pressed powder on top. I love both and highly recommend using them! 

I hope these blurbs help each of you in finding the right skin care products that don't break the bank!
