CVS=Certainly Very Spend-thrifty!!

I discovered a lovely little secret last week: CVS Pharmacy! What a gem. I've been going to this place since I was a kid, but I never realized the quantity of CVS Brand beauty products they have that are JUST like the big-name brands. And for a fraction of the cost! Here's the thing (in my humble consumer opinion)... there are definitely some things you want the original formula for. I would not buy CVS brand self-tanning lotion, for example. But there were SO many CVS products that had essentially the same ingredients as their more expensive cousins sitting proudly next to them. Here are a few of the awesome beauty products CVS makes:

$5.49
Compare to $6.99 L'Oreal Eye Make-up Remover


$6.29
Compare to $10.99 Aveeno Body Moisturizer



$10.49
Compare to $13.49 Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream



$13.97

Compare to $21.99 Olay Regenerest Daily Thermal Mini Peel


$12.99
Compare to $16.99 Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturizer


$2.09
(And this one, no joke, smells WAY better than the expensive one. It reminds me Tropicana Suntanning Oil... YUM!)
Compare to $5.99 Palmer's Cocoa Butter Lotion


$5.99
Compare to $7.99 Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Scrub


$4.99

Compare to $5.99 Venus razor



All in all, I have a feeling that I will be doing a lot more of my shopping at CVS these days! Happy shopping to you too!


Love,
