Thanks for this post. I'm always seeing articles about these ridiculously expensive skin and makeup products that I can't afford, so any tips on what I can pick up at Ulta or Walgreens is always helpful. I also found some great tips for drugstore beauty on The Beauty Girl website. http://thebeautygirl.com/?tag=drugstore-beauty
