We'll go to extreme measures to get our hands on that highly coveted moisturizer, mascara, or lipstick from a luxury brand, but a quick stroll through the aisles of our neighborhood drugstore can lead to discovering budget-friendly gems that yield high-end results.

A $50 manicure and pedicure is a great splurge every once in a while, but our savings account has gained quite the interest since we loaded up on $8 nail polish. Plus, we get to perfect our DIY nail art skills!

Peruse our drugstore beauty picks in the gallery below and tell us in the comments section which summer goodies are on your shopping list.

A great razor to travel with is called Shave Mate Diva. I love this so much I end up using it even when I'm not traveling. It has shaving cream in the handle . You just turn it and sray plus the razor is great also . Check it out.

Meh.. Mine are a little better for me :)

1) Clean & Clear Morning Burst Brightening Scrub with Caffeine, Papaya, and Lemon (the yellow tube one the others aren't as good!)

2) Nivea Honey and milk lip balm
3) Neutrogena makeup removing wipes (for those long days where I wanna take my MU before I get home! lol)

4) Maybelline Full N' Soft mascara
5) Panoxyl 10% wash (back and face, great for acne)
6) Olay Intensive Night moisturizer (w/ chamomile and beta-hydroxy)- lightweight
7) Head and Shoulders Mint Invigorating shampoo (great for summer)
8) Nivea 'Happiness' body wash (citrus scented)
9) Essie's Nail polish 'Wife goes on' best bright pink /red ever..
10) Gold Bond lotion (best ever, IMO)
11) Neutrogena's new revitalizing lip balm (super tinted) in 03 'sunny berry'
