CVS SPRING FAVORITES

drugstore haul

Spring Favorites featured by top US beauty blog Just Add Glam

I know I’m not alone on this one…whenever I run to the store for ‘just one thing’, I end up coming out with a bag full of stuff and wonder where my self-control went.  I went into my local CVS for a Mother’s Day card and came out with some of my old spring favorites to restock and some new things I wanted to try out.  Check out my haul of goodies below…

Spring Favorites featured by top US beauty blog Just Add Glam

CVS Spring Favorites:

Mother’s Day cards — I went in for one card and ended up coming out with five.  How!? I love the cards with extra embellishments on them, they are just too pretty!

Flowers — Never did I think the drugstore carried fresh flowers but I was presently surprised to find out that I could snag a pretty bouquet to brighten up the kitchen.  These flowers are still going strong and it’s been three weeks!  Not bad at all!

Spring Favorites featured by top US beauty blog Just Add Glam

Simple Micellar Cleansing Water — I’m a self-proclaimed makeup wipe lover from previous posts here and here and here because they are so easy to wipe off a full-face of makeup.  I tried the Simple Micellar Cleaning Water a few months back and am already back at CVS for my second bottle.  This is great to use for removing makeup similar to their wipes but I like that you can also use it to rehydrate a nearly-finished pack of face wipes.  Love how it leaves my skin clean and without a sticky residue.

Cotton rounds — Clearly I’ve been living under a rock because I haven’t tried these until just now (seriously?).  I like using these with my Simple water because they don’t leave a trace of cotton on my face.  Travel hack!–Put some cotton rounds in a ziplock bag and add Simple Micellar water to make your own travel size “wipes”.  The cotton rounds will be ready to go and you don’t have to bring the entire bottle!

Bristle body brush — I’ve been wanting to try a bristle brush that could be used for in-shower cleansing or also used for ‘dry brushing’–rubbed on dry skin to exfoliate and remove dry skin.  I like that this brush has little massagers built into it too.  Will let you know how I like it!

Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash — I’ve repurchased this a handful of times now and like the moisture it gives me.  It comes out of the bottle like a lotion but forms a thick lather when used with a shower pouf or brush.  It feels like using lotion in the shower and my skin has been loving it!

Spring Favorites featured by top US beauty blog Just Add Glam

Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Soothe — I like to apply lotion post-shower or right before bed, so naturally I’m running through a lot of lotion!  I wanted to try this one for the added aloe.  Since it’s spring and I’m spending more time outdoors (with suncreen on!) I wanted the added benefit of aloe to moisturize my skin.  I’m loving the aloe scent and my skin has been loving it so far!

What are some of your spring favorites from the drugstore? Are you like me where you go in for one item and come out with an entire bag?

If you’re headed to CVS to stock up yourself, you can get $1 off any 2 participating Dove, Simple, and Vaseline products when you check out the CVS Love Your Skin campaign video here.

    I do the same thing, but my habit of going in for one thing and coming out with several happens everywhere! I love good inexpensive drug store products like these. My favs are ELF makeup and witch hazel.

    xo, Nicole

    Oh, your so not alone. And you always see something you forgot on your list too. Love Dove’s body wash. CVS is super convenient for us it’s next to the grocery store which makes it easy to grab what we need too.

    If CVS is bad, you can just imagine the time I have at Target! I wish our local CVS carried flowers, that would be a nice little thing to pick up for myself!

    I love that you can get all these things at the drug store. I have the very same Vaseline hand cream.

    Is there such a thing as just picking up the item you went in for and not everything else you see. A drug store is the worse spot for me to pick up extra things I didn’t originally go in for.

    I can’t find a drugstore in our place that sells fresh flowers. If I’ll find one, I will be glad to give some to my wife.

    Vaseline really never disappears from our own set of skin cream. Good job with the hauls, you probably converted some people into sing those products!

    Dove and Vaseline are two of my favorite products. I use Vaseline lotion daily and I love it. I mainly use it after taking a shower. I also love using Dove soap.

    Vaseline Intensive Care is my very favorite, great tip – I use it daily! My tip would be before adding moisturizer to your face, dampen your fingers so the moisturizer soaks into your face and not your fingers! Not quite an answer to your question, but it’s my go-to. 😀

    You definitely had a really great haul! I love grabbing fresh flowers from the supermarket but like you, I had no idea I could do the same from my favorite drugstore. I have been thinking of trying the micellar water and hope to do that soon. Definitely a lot of great finds!

    I had no idea CVS sold flowers, your arrangements are absolutely stunning, and it’s great they’ve lasted three weeks. I agree, I never walk into any store and only buy what is on my list.

✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨ Three ✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨
Three months with this little guy and our worlds are rocked. He’s gone from just opening his eyes to rolling over, pushing himself up, grabbing at toys (and my phone as I type this out). He loves to laugh and talk in his baby language all day long 🤣 and sleeps all through the night 🙌🏼 How did we get so blessed with him?! @kmichaels216
Wedding Bells 💍 We are finally diving into some Wedding Bells 💍
We are finally diving into some wedding planning after our engagement last year and not going to lie, it’s overwhelming! We are super laid back and are looking for something small to celebrate. For me, this day isn’t about a big, fancy dress, or hundreds of guests to entertain. It’s about spending time with Kevin and I together committing our lives to one another. I was recommended to check out @shutterfly’s The Wedding Shop and mocked up an invite in this beautiful botanical print perfectly personalized to us and our style. Love our custom candle (smells so good!) and champagne flutes too! Check out my stories for more behind the scenes of unpacking our wedding items and some close ups! #MyShutterfly (ad)
CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week? CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week?
• This morning I had an eye exam to check my contacts / glasses Rx. I shared new glasses on Stories but turns out the Rx was wrong in them. I’m TRYING to wear my glasses more around the house and splurged on a pair from @ysl hoping that would help me do it 🤣🤓
• I haven’t been a big concealer wearer but I’ve been testing out the @urbandecaycosmetics naked concealer and have been liking how light it feels on my skin (I’m wearing it here, dress is new from @urbanoutfitters!)
• A work-related project this week—I’m trying to get my inbox of 700 emails down to zero. My problem is that I’ll get an email with some great piece of info in it and think “oh this is great! I can’t work on this right now but I’ll save for when I can” and I mark it unread. Well over time that has added up to 700 😬 I’m thinking of tackling it by sorting through and noting down whatever idea it is in my notebook (paper planner for LIFE! 📒) to reference it and have them all in one place. Maybe this will work!
• I’m currently sitting here watching this little baby sleep and the whole “I want to eat this baby” thing is SO REAL. What is it about babies where it makes us say that?!? He loves his @bibs_usa and @mushie_co!
• I’m considering cutting 3-4 inches from my hair....but here’s the kicker...I have this weird urge to DO IT MYSELF. Maybe I don’t want to put it off until I can get an appointment but I just want to cut it now. Please you guys, talk me out of doing this with scissors in the bathroom 🤣✂️
• Kevin and I have been binge watching @abcscandal and it’s SO ADDICTING. If you haven’t watched it, join us on Netflix but don’t blame me when you’re 2 episodes past your bedtime 😜 we are currently on season 4 of 7!
• WHAT ARE YOU UP TO THIS WEEK???
NEW MOM FASHION AND BEAUTY HACKS: 💁🏼‍♀️
1️⃣ Style your hair once ride that beautiful hair through the week with minimal effort. I use the @t3micro curling wand on day 1 fresh hair to put a little curl in it. On days 2-4 I use dry shampoo—my favorite is @livingproofinc to soak up oil, and then on days 5+ when dry shampoo doesn’t cut it anymore I throw on a cute beanie
2️⃣ Still trying to “bounce back” (whatever that means...) after baby? Same mama, same. @spanx leather-look leggings suck it all in and help as a postpartum support during healing. Win win!
3️⃣ Duster coats are the ONLY thing I want to wear. Not only do they keep you cozy as we wait for spring, but having pockets is NECESSARY for me. Phone in one, pacifier in another, and whatever other random things I need to bring with me when my arms are full with a baby
4️⃣ Lots of undereye concealer for that 8 hours of sleep look. @tartecosmetics shape tape is a favorite but I’ve been testing out @urbandecaycosmetics stay naked concealer and really like it for more natural coverage
MAMAS, WEIGH IN: What are you mom fashion and beauty hacks?! #newmomhacks
Our morning walk ritual ☺️ It’s still been a Our morning walk ritual ☺️
It’s still been a bit chilly out in the mornings but that doesn’t stop us from bundling up (in matching hats no less!) and going for a walk around our neighborhood. Baby carrying is a wonderful thing once you get the hang of it! I love how it gives you a bit of a workout with the added weight of a baby (Harrison is 11lbs now!) and gives them a chance to look around with a different view than the stroller. I can’t wait until he’s big enough to be front facing and then he can really look out at the world. I’ve been using the @nuna_usa @potterybarnkids CUDL carrier (this fabric is the broken arrow caviar) and my favorite feature are the magnetic clips that automatically snap into place to hold baby snugly. #lovemypbk
