I went a little wild in the drugstore last week …like $235 worth of wild. And do you know what $235 gets you at the drug store? Quite a basket-ful of fun! Here are a few of my new favorite items.
Above
* Sally Hansen nail polish 220 in Cafe Au Lait $7.59 …I was looking for that perfect shade of nude a’la the 70’s and this is perfection. {you can see the color on my nails on my DIY Lanvin Necklace post}
* Sally Hansen Lip Inflation in Sheer Mocha $6.59 …besides the brush {I like a little sponge better} I LOVE this. For the past 5 or so years I’ve been using LipFusion which is $38 and Sally just saved me $31.
background: Kathie Olivas painting …a gift from the husband a few years ago & one of my favorites in the house, vintage silver candlestick holders

* Scunci No-slip Grip Evolution Opaque Jelly Ponytailers (Pack of 14) $2.99 at the store $4.97 on amazon {link}
background: white porcelain buck from Z Gallerie a gift from the bro & sil

…and allowed me to create this bow-like bun {with one little jaw clip in the front to hold the fly-aways}

* Organix Shampoo, Nourishing Coconut Milk $6.99 at the drugstore, $9.19 at amazon

* And last but CERTAINLY not least Kushyfoot lace foot covers. I’m not kidding when I say I squealed a little when I saw the wall full of these little padded-under-the-ball-of-your-foot socks. In fact it was less of a squeal and more of a WHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT?!?!? And then I said out loud WHY DON’T I KNOW ABOUT THESE? Because in theory they may be the best thing ever invented …yeah, better than toilets. Well, no …but pretty great. So of course, I bought them in black lace, white lace, and nude …er 2 nudes.
oh also, THEY’RE $3.49 EACH. Yeah …I know!
* I may have to go back for KushyFoot Foot Tubes Wrap Around Foot Bands …because really, they may make like 50% of my shoes more comfortable. I hope so anyway.

Haha… that’s a loooooot of fun girl… 🙂 I need to pay a visit too, seems like I’m running out of everything at once. Isn’t that always the case?

Love the colour of the nail polish. I have a collection of nail polishes of such shades myself:)
But 235$? 😀 I have to say: WOW.
The ponytailers are interesting. I never saw some other but with fabric…

Lindsey
GREAT finds!! I gotta get me some of those Kushy Feet!!! Thanks for sharing!! 😉
♥sormui♥
haha sounds like some great finds! I didnt know they have cushy ball tube sock things either!
Rachel
I love the Sally Hansen lip stuff and now I like it more knowing that it is comparable to the expensive stuff 🙂
Anna Saccone
LOL, you’re so funny!! I remember reading your tweet about going crazy at the drugstore! 🙂 I love those hair ties, I wonder do they sell them in Ireland. And those lace foot covers really do sound amazing!! <3
Simply Seductive
Great finds… will have to try the nail polish and Opaque Jelly Ponytailers… oh and the Kushyfoot lace foot covers…
p.s. love your bow-like bun!
All the very best,
Linda, xo

I love these posts-thanks for sharing!

Girl. Friend. I was wondering yesterday about your nail polish – thanks for sharing. I DIE for the Carmindy/Sally Hanson airbrush foundation. I use it all the time.
I ALSO died for that Organix coconut stuff too, but my hurr felt like straw when I used it, so I just used it as body wash and lotion because I, too, am coconutty for coconuts.
Thanks for sharing your bargains! The drugstore is a daaaangerous place, isn’t it?
Merci!

Jennifer Belle
i had the same issue with that shampoo and conditioner. too bad..it smells amazing. that nail polish is gorgeous!
Erin
What drugstore did you go to? I am DYING for some of the little lace foot covers! What a genius idea, why did no one think of them before?
Gissi J.
Drugstore finds are the best!
LindsFM
Ooh, thanks for sharing! I use Lip Fusion gloss as well, so I’m super psyched about the sally hansen stuff.
Cheryl Ann
i looooove drug store shopping. i am obsessed with the Maybelline Salon Expert nail polish line sold in almost all of them, as well as the Sally Hansen Extreme Wear line. i bought HUGE bottles of Tresseme volume shampoo/conditioner like, 4 months ago, and they’re still going strong and still doing amazing things for my super fine hair. usually i have to switch up shampoo every few weeks to give my hair some va-va-voom, but not with this stuff! thanks for sharing your finds!
Amanda Blair
you’re inspiring me to high-tail it to my drug store and stock up.
I tried that shampoo too and was VERY disappointed. It made my hair unmanageable…not cool!
anhesty
ok you can pull off those lil clips without looking like a kid. i tried and i look like a child…lol and those socks… ahhhmazzing! i’m going to look for these now! you are always full of good info.
DISTRIKMODE
Whoa. I need to get one of those scunci jelly ponytailers for myself! Never seen those before… Would def appreciate it since i have mega long hair & always end up breaking my hair ties from pulling em too hard.

Oh girl! I love my drugstore raiding. My local CVS had a 75% off sale on tons of makeup and I saved over $100! So you like mane n tail for your hair? I’ve always been envious of how awesome your hair looks, does it help with growth and strength? when I worked with horses the lady that owned them said she used the mane n tail on the horses and herself, but I was skeptical.
megan
You made out like a bandit, love it!
Schnelle Couture
great finds! I LOVE Lip Inflation and the tingly feeling that it leaves on your lips.
Elizabeth
Although the coconut Oganix shampoo & conditioner didn’t work so well for me, I LOVE the teatree mint version. It’s great for my fine (aka easily tangled) hair. Plus the smell wakes me up in the morning! I’m really curious to try the jelly hair ties too.
Jo
oh, I miss the drugstores in US. I could spend hours there, going through all the stuff.
I always always try to visit the local drugstore, which ever country I am in. The ones China make me laugh and I usually end up buying body was instead of facial cream…
Allie
I had the same experience with Organix! And because I’m a broke college student, I was determined to use up the whole bottle before buying another one. Good thing it was over the summer so I had an extra 20 minutes each day to sit there and detangle my hair. But they got me- pretty bottle, simple design, and smelled amazing.
I also looked online for reviews on Organix. It’s apparently really popular in the African American community because of their textured hair. I could see how that would work!
Gwen
When you first said you spent $235 at the drug store I thought damn that’s a lot of drugs. 🙂 Your new polish is almost Barbie hands colored!!! I have a polish that’s similar but I can’t remember the name. It makes my nails look the same color as my skin…like Barbie’s. XOXO
Allison
The Sally Hansen nail polish lasts FOREVER! I love Shell We Dance, it’s a perfect semi sheer light pink. I’ve had it on for a week now and it’s still going strong!
Lindsay
I now know how you feel when people steal your ideas and don’t give you credit. An actual friend of mine has been stealing my words from my blog and using them as her own on her blog! I COULD SCREAM! But must remain nice.
Lorena
OMG !I have never ever spent that much on a drugstore!
I have not purchased anything from Sally Hansen since I bought that Self Tanning spray that turned my legs orange for WEEKS!!! I fear her name.
Annie
OMG MUST GET THOSE HAIRTIES!
modanista junkie
I need to get some of those jelly hair ties!! OMG have you tried the bobby pin spin pins? They are amazing and definitely hold up a cute bun. 🙂 I use to use the same shampoo and conditioner, but switched to Garnier Fructis because it was too thick for my hair. 🙁
p.s. my favorite photos if the one with your cute messy bun and your fancy camera. 🙂
xoxo,

Behind the Lashes
I just started using Organix!! I have the passion fruit & guava one though and it smells awesome!
Cupcake
Nice haul! I tell my husand I am possessed when I enter the drug store…the makeup, perfume, magazines…ARGH how can I concentrate! I swear I always forget what I went in there for in the first place.
Esp. nice nail polish! It’s always like $90 at the drug store, doesn’t matter what I buy…HOW??!

I am of fan of the Coconut shampoo, and works well for my long shag.
But, when on the road I use what ever my Kahuna bothers to bring, because I tend to forget every thing. His latest option is Dove…and the body wash too. I was more than pleased.
Who knew?…well, “50cent” knew.
He really loves Dove.
Cheers!
bell
loved the post! i’ve been looking for a nude nail polish ~~ and i know what you mean about the shampoo. completely dried out my hair but the smell is so addicting…
christine
I traded in my Fekkai for Dove also. 🙂
Felicia
Oh my lord you made me want to go to the drug store so bad!! I need to try those hair ties. I have THICK and HEAVY hair and I find it IMPOSSIBLE to find anything that will hold it in a comfortable pony. Even those fabric ones with no metal end up stretching, breaking, etc…And I need to try those foot things. I have an aversion to wearing heels but maybe those will help the comfort level. I need to re-train my feet for heels for my upcoming Vegas trip!!
Jennah Watters
I got that LipFlation stuff yeaaaars ago and I love it. Glad to see it’s still around bc I should prob replace mine. I also love those sock things. I get them a lot at places like Ross for even cheaper.
Must.find.those.elastics. Are they comfy on your wrist, though? Bc I always keep a spare on my wrist. My current faves are seamless and I actually got them from the dollar store (!), but they stretch out a little faster than I’d prefer.
Millie
It was really like you were reading my mind when typing out your review of the coconut shampoo! Although, I also loved the smell, it left my hair in what I like to call a rat’s nest. It was so hard to comb out after the shower. So I tried DOVE for the first time and I LOVE IT.
Trissta
I adore you! Can I just say that your posts definitely inspire me, especially today! I’m gonna head out and find some Kushyfoots! That sounded strange. Anyways, I mentioned you in my own blog post today… http://livingonthechic.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-style-inspirations.html Thanks!!
jenn~the stylish housewife
hahahhahah…for xmas, we always buy stuff like this for our stockings and this year i told my husband that i would just get my stocking stuffers myself. he thought i was great for saving him from the boring task (to him) when really i got the best damn cvs’s filled stocking of my life!!! =) I even bought the clampless curling iron that i tried unsuccessfully to use today:
http://www.thestylishhousewife.com/2011/01/curled-my-hair/
lol…great finds girlie! i bought the kushyfoot foot bands when i lived in nyc…they feel SO good on your feet!!!
Kirsten
I saw the rubber bands at walgreens the other day and debated, going to have to try them now in hopes they will actually hold all my hair.
Amy
I’ve been wondering about Lip Infusion – might have to check that out! Lots of people think Sally is a sketchy broad but I love her stuff, haha. Even the horrible spray tanner.
Kalika Brooke
I work at a rite aid, and i have for a while, but i when i first started i went TOTALLY NUTS! for those little kushy foot slippers, they kick ass! And the around the balls of your feet band, is absolutely my life saver, i don’t even get blisters there anymore:)
Audra
When I read your Maeg-it-yourself post about the necklace, I stopped at your nail polish and thought, that is exactly what I’m wearing! And today, I see that it IS exactly the same color. I bought it for Winter, I love dark colors, but I’m also super lazy with work right now, so the pale color allows me a little more time to get it off when it starts to crack.
Hmm, we’ve got great taste. 🙂
Clarissa
I have crazy curly hair that just LOVES coconut, so I tried out that Organix stuff awhile back and it just did not work out. It left my hair feeling so dry and tangled.
My hair was not happy. I’ll stick with my Redken from now on!
kate
Hey Hey now! Just passing a little saving even more money info to you! I don’nt know what drugstore you go to but CVS runs a 75 percent off special all the time. Different products weekly. I got huge sally hansen haul last week all for 75 percent off
bananas.
i MUST try those hair ties! i swear i go through 100 a month! grrr!!!
big fan of sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. never tried the ones above.
also is that sally hansen lipgloss really better than lip fusion? i’ve always wondered but never made the switch.
Bloggers Abode
Do you guys have ULTA yet? We didn’t when I lived in L.A. It’s UHHH-MAZING!! It’s the best of all worlds. Drug store combined with department store and salon.Depending on the location they have all the high end brands as well as all the lower end brands AND their own Ulta brands. Talk about dropping some money? I can never leave there under $300 bucks. It’s like BEAUTY MECCA I swear.
Norma
I bought some of the lipgloss yesterday! love it!!! Good stuff!!!
Jessie
really enjoyed this post… great finds! i definitely need to get those hair ties.
i do have a question though… i’ve been growing my hair out for a while now and it is pretty long (past my shoulders) and very thick and takes decades to dry. you have lots of gorgeous hair… tell me, what do you do with your hair at night? ponytail it, braid it, knot it, just leave it and hope you don’t suffocate? i need help!
karlieanne
i LOVE the sally hansen lipgloss. good call lady.
Poppy
I’ve been using the lip inflation forever and I love it…and I definitely will try those hair ties. Great Post 🙂
