Drugstore body care under $10 I actually finish
15
items Almost everything in my bathroom is drugstore and after two kids I have stopped pretending otherwise. These are the body care things I have actually used down to the last drop, with the honest catch on each one, and I say it plainly in the note when ...
Four dollars for something that smells like it cost twenty five, which is the whole reason it has stayed on my dresser for years. I spray it after the shower and again before the school pickup line because it fades in about three hours. It is a mist ...
Bodycology, Fragrance Body Mist, Cherry Blossom, 8 fl.oz.
I use this on my legs the night before I wear a dress and the difference is honestly ridiculous for nine dollars. The vanilla reads warm instead of sweet, which surprised me. It leaves the tub genuinely slippery from all the shea, so rinse it down be...
Tree Hut Vanilla Shea Butter Sugar Body Scrub, 18 oz
This is the one bottle nobody in my house fights me about, which after years of trying different washes is the actual win here. It lathers properly without leaving that squeaky stripped feeling. It runs closer to nine dollars than five, so I only buy...
Native Coconut & Vanilla Body Wash
I stopped buying shave gel entirely after this, because it works without water running and I can do my legs in the last minute of a shower. Four dollars and one tube lasts me about two months. The cap clogs if you store it upside down on the tub ledg...
eos Shea Better Women's Shave Cream - Vanilla Bliss - 7 fl oz: Paraben-Free, Whole Body, For Dry Skin
This is the bar in my husband's shower and the guest bathroom, and I keep buying it because it does not leave the film on the tile that the fancier bars do. It smells like every summer camp I ever went to. It is drying if you use it above the neck, s...
Irish Spring Bar Soap - Original Clean - 3.7oz
I have tried the aluminum free versions three separate times and came back to this every time, and I say that as someone who wanted them to work. It holds through a full day of pickup lines and grocery runs in August. The white marks are real if you ...
Secret Invisible Solid Antiperspirant Deodorant Stick, Powder Fresh, 2.6oz
Six dollars for three pounds is the cheapest way I know to make an ordinary Tuesday night feel like something. The eucalyptus is strong enough that I can smell it through the closed bathroom door, which is exactly what I want. It does nothing for sor...
Dr Teal's Epsom Salt Magnesium Soak, Relax & Relief with Eucalyptus & Spearmint, 3 lbs
I gave up on the expensive handle and cartridge system because the refills cost more than the razor did, and these shave just as close for me. Three in a pack for about seven dollars. Each one is good for maybe four shaves before it starts pulling, s...
Venus Sensitive Women's 3 Blade Disposable Razor, 3 count, Pink
Both of my kids can wash themselves with this without me standing there supervising, and at four dollars a bottle I do not care how fast they go through it. The pump is the entire reason it works for a six year old. It is not gentle enough for my dau...
Suave Kids 3 in 1 Watermelon Wonder Shampoo, Conditioner & Body Wash, 40 FL OZ Pump
This is what got me through a summer of dresses without my thighs hating me by noon. It goes on clear and does not feel greasy the way the balm sticks do. Fair warning that the two pack sits right at the top of ten dollars and sometimes over, so grab...
Gold Bond Friction Defense, 1.75 Ounce, Pack of 2
Forty five inches long means I can actually reach the middle of my own back, which no loofah has ever managed for me. It dries in about an hour so it never gets that sour smell. It feels aggressive the first two or three uses and you will think you b...
4 Pack African Net Sponge Exfoliating Washcloth
Five dollars and it does the same job as the battery powered gadget I wasted forty on, which is take the rough edges off my heels in about a minute. The wooden handle means I am not crouched over gripping a wet rock. It wears smooth after a few month...
Pumice Stone Foot File with Wooden Handle
These live in my bag for the stretch between my son's practice and dinner when there is no time to drive home and shower. They are actually big, which sounds obvious until you try every other body wipe and find out they are basically napkins. At arou...
Goodwipes Body Wipes, Aloe, Lavender, 10ct
I start using this in September when the summer color is fading and I am not ready to look like winter yet. It builds slowly over about four days, which is the whole point, and it has never gone orange on me. It transfers onto light sheets the first ...
Jergens Natural Glow Self Tanner Lotion 7.5oz
Twelve ounces for around ten dollars is exactly why this is the bottle that lives in the pool bag instead of my nicer sunscreen. It actually stays on through swimming, which the sprays never did for my kids. It is thick and white and takes real rubbi...
Banana Boat Sport SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion 12oz
