Drugstore Beauty Haul - Part 1 - TRESEMME - NEW AFFORDABLE SKINCARE!!

I love the drugstore! I love Walmart! lol... that's besides the point. Recently I have purchased several new items that I'd like to share with all of you. I will be dividing every shopping trip into a separate haul so as not to make this blog post too long.

So lets start off with why I actually went to Walmart, I was running out of my Tresemme Split Remedy shampoo and conditioner, although I still have an Aussie Shampoo and Conditioner that I need to finish. Since I do a lot of hot oil treatments I find that Aussie is not really able to get all of the oil out, whereas with Tresemme if you massage the shampoo onto your scalp and leave it in your hair for around 2 minutes or so really cuts through the oil and leaves clean hair with just one wash, although I always wonder how many harsh ingredients are involved to make this kind of 'cleaning happen'. On the other hand I secretly had been wanting to try the new Keratin line so that gave me two reasons to go out and pick them up! Although I have not used this shampoo and conditioner too long, I am enjoying the smoothness of my hair after using these.



Also, I think Olay makes the BEST drugstore skincare products, I am a religious user of the Olay 7 in 1 Blemish Control Cream Cleanser, is it amazing and does not dry my skin out (for reference I have dry -combination skin). I saw the Equate version of the Regenerist Cream Cleanser and Regenerist Night Cream on sale so I picked up both. Having tried both of these products, I like the cleanser, however I don't LOVE it, I would stick to the Olay branded one, however I have never tried the Olay version of the regernist cleanser so I am NOT judging this by how similar it is to the Olay version, however I am judging this based on what it does for my skin. I particularly LOVE the night cream though, it melts into the skin so beautifully, gives the skin a luminous glow but not shiny looking. I have never tried any of Olay's night creams but this Equate stuff is fantastic. The only thing I would consider a downfall of this cream is the smell, it is a very strong Lavender scent in my opinion, so if you're someone who has extremely sensitive skin I would stick to something like Cetaphil.

I have been slathering this night cream on my face and it really feels luxurious, when I first put it on it really felt irritating but that feeling went away after 1 minute or so. I am putting this on during the day under my makeup to really get rid of my dry cheeks because of the winter time and it looks good.
