All-Time Favorite Hair & Beauty Products!

We BGs love trying that hot new lip gloss or the latest trendy miracle cream, but some products are just staples in perfecting our beauty. Whether your grandmother told you that Vaseline is the answer to ashy elbows or your college roomate told you to use Johnson’s Baby Powder under your eyes to dust off excess eye shadow, we all have our favorite, tried and true products that we can’t live without.

Share some of your must-have items! Here are a few of mine:


Johnson & Johnson Baby Oil Gel available at www.duanereade.com for $3.99 – I use this on my legs after a nice hot shower and they always leave them feeling silky smooth!


Optimum Oil Therapy Dry Hair Healer available at www.walgreens.com for $4.49 – I have extremely dull hair so this cream breathes a bit of life into it, plus it smells delightful!


L’Oreal Colour Juice Lip Gloss available at www.drugstore.com for $7.99 – I’ve used just about every color they carry and I still can’t get enough!


Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner available at www.walgreens.com for $7.49 – Before I found this product I used to get raccoon eyes by the end of the day, but because it’s waterproof it never smudges!


Oil of Olay Complete All Day Moisture Lotion available at www.walgreens.com for $6.99 – My mother has always used Oil of Olay so I thought that I should too since she has fabulous skin even though she’s in her 60s!


Maybelline Great Lash Mascara – Of course this made my list. I’ve written about it several times. It really is the best mascara ever!


Sulfar 8 Original Anti-Dandruff Medicated Formula available at drugstores nationwide. – My hair is extremely dry and dandruff prone as a result of my relaxer. Although it stinks, it tingles and gets the job done every time.


Dermablend Smooth Indulgence Concealer available at www.macys.com for $18 – I’ve been using this concealer for several years. It blends into my skin perfectly without making me look like I’m obviously wearing makeup.
