1.)Aveeno Stress Relief Body Wash with Lavender and Chamomile:

This body wash is perfect for people who get dry skin, especially during the winter. It moisturizes the skin while washing, not only leaving you feeling fresh and smelling great (who doesn't like lavender?), but also feeling soft and moisturized. It's dye free and gentle for sensitive skin, and can even be used as a shaving lotion, convenient for those of us who never remember to buy shaving cream. It left my legs feeling as smooth as butter! A 33.8 fl oz container is only $9.99 at Target.

2.)Luxe Beauty Care Retinol Skin Cream:

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and effectiveness of this retinol cream; considering I found it at the Dollar Tree, I didn't walk into using this product with the highest expectations. However, the cream did a great job at making my face feel moisturized and wasn't at all irritating to my skin. It didn't contain any added scents or dyes either that I could detect. It does tend to be a bit on the heavy side though, so I recommend it more for night time use. One container was only $1.00 at Dollar Tree.

3.)Studio Selection Blemish Control Facial Scrub:

Now, this scrub is basically just a dupe for St.Ives Apricot Face Scrub, but it's a damn good one. I have skin that has a tendency to break out and after using this blemish control scrub my skin has been free of breakouts for a couple of weeks now. I started seeing results after about a week and a half. It exfoliates while it cleans too, which I love; I know physical exfoliants are a bit controversial, but if you like a good exfoliating face wash, this is for you. Not to mention, it's effective of blackheads too. The active ingredient is salicylic acid and it cost about $4.50 at Dollar General. (That's an estimate, I forgot the exact amount I paid.)

4.)Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion with Soothing Oat:

Another win for Aveeno, their daily moisturizing lotion is fragrance free and long lasting. It even helped prevent those little prickly bits of dry skin you get sometimes immediately after shaving, you know the ones that can annoy the absolute hell out of you. I use it all over after I shower and have seen real results as far as my dry skin goes, with no irritation. A 12 oz bottle is $6.58 at Walmart.

5.)Sassy+Chic B.B Beauty Benefit Cream:

Now this BB cream is far from perfect, but I'm including it because although it has some faults, it is a great option for when you want a little bit of coverage without doing a full face of makeup. It also has moisturizing properties that make this a great alternative to regular foundation that can irritate and dry the skin. It also doesn't crack or crease easily, so it doesn't require a ton of touch ups throughout the day. However, it can be pretty oily and can cause your skin to look oily or shiny after a couple hours, so I recommend bringing oil blotters or powder to help minimize that. I found this at the Dollar Tree for $1.00.

6.)Color Story Pressed Pigments:

I got the eye shadow pallete "In Bloom" from this company from Five Below and really loved the brightness and pigmentation in the shades. It came with 20 different colors to choose from and quickly became a daily part of my makeup routine. I got this for $5.00.
