Aveen's positively radiant moisturizer - I've been using this for a couple years, year-round, and I love it. I'm thrilled they came out with a 30 SPF version!
John Freida's shampoo collections - I use brilliant brunette. I've used a couple different formulas (because of some medication I took, the texture of my hair has been changing for a couple years) and they have all been great
Covergirl's longwear lipstick (I don't know if that's the right name...the kind where you paint on the color, let it dry, then put on a clear top coat). It does last a long time - my lips stay red through drinking, eating, what have you.
I am a fan of Biore skin care products, except for the nose strips. I'm convinced those things don't do anything, regardless of the brand.
Queen Helene's Mint Julep mask - I think it was Lilykind or Elle who first suggested this to me, and I love it.

- Rimmel eye shadow quads: Comes in pretty colors. I'm using "008 Bronzed" right now, it's really nice.
- Rimmel mascara: Because it comes off when I wash it. I hate mascara that stays on my lashes. Plus I don't ever have a problem with running mascara.
- St Ives Body Wash
-Walmart makes this body scrub that smells like gingerbread cookies or something. I could just eat it, it smells so good!!
- Oil of Olay face cleanser for sensitive skin: It's cheap, and it works just as well as expensive stuff I've bought at Sephora.
-Walgreens has this lip gloss that comes in clicky tube thing. It's only $1.99 and it's the pretty shade of mauve. (I don't have it with me, so I can't tell you what color it is, but it's always my the cosmetic register. The shade I get is always low in stock or out of stock.)
Dove spf 15 facial lotion Max Factor 2000 calorie mascara in rich black - best mascara ever (except maybe diorshow--which budget will not allow anymore) Revlon colorstay eyeliner in any color Tresemme shampoo & conditioner
Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser for normal to oily skin
Eucerin Redness Relief Soothing Night Creme (It says it's a night creme, but I use it in the morning. It totally reduces any redness in my cheeks and doesn't leave me greasy. I have sensitive skin and this hasn't caused any problems for me).

Dove Beauty Bar for shower soap... it smells so good and leaves your skin soft.
Bio-Oil... it's at CVS and Walgreens. It's a mix of Vitamin E and who knows what else but it's amazing for removing scars and stretchmarks. I'm 8 months pregnant and not a stretch mark in site... plus it also got rid of existing scars in record time. I just lather myself in this after showers and a little goes a long way. I'm quite a fan of this stuff, if you can't tell.
L'oreal is my favorite drugstore brand for any makeup.
loved the St.Ives lotions, shampoos and body washes, but they are hard to find in Italy. also, I bought a nice foundation in Germany, in a sort of drugstore, the brand is Manhattan, and it's called light and natural make up. It's nice and light, but covers up well too. It's not sold here in Italy, but if it ever makes it to the States, I'd suggest to check it out. And I remember paying it very little (less than 5 euros, I think!)
Neutrogena's triple moisture shampoo and conditioner. It smells good and seems to be doing a good job. I bought it for my gym bag, and I'm starting to really like it. As soon as I run out of what's in my shower now, I am going to replace with this and see how it goes.
Also:
Suave Freesia hairspray Cetaphil face wash Oil of Olay daily moistureizer Almay eyemakeup remover pads
Burts Bee's lip lamp and tinted balm Oil of Olay body washes Maybelline liquid eye liner ( I don't use a liquid liner often, but this is the best! I like the felt tip my sister likes the brush.).
maxfactor false lash effect mascara neutrogena spot stress control daily scrub rimmel nail varnish. i tried a maxfactor nailfinity nail varnish recently and it's not good at all - it chips off within a day or 2
