Drugstore Divas: Toronto

Because beauty doesn’t have to cost a pretty penny, we’re spilling the deets on our best-loved drugstore products. Trust us: They are as affordable as they are awesome

Simple Skin Care
A staple since our teen years, Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser ($9.19) is still the best sensitive-skin cleanser we’ve ever come across.

 

Hold It
The gold standard of hairspray, find me a stylist that doesn’t swear by L'Oréal Elnett Satin Hairspray ($11.99).

 

 

Back to Basics
Why spend a fortune on artisan lip balms when good old Vaseline ($1.99) will do? No girl should be without it.

 

 

Quick Change Artist
We change our polish as often as our pants (yes, daily) so there’s no point in shelling out on expensive lacquers. Sally Hansen’s Complete Salon Manicure Nail Polish ($6.99) is five-steps-in-one. Save on time and cash.

 

Simple Soap
Beautifully packaged hand-milled soaps belong
among our delicates. To keep us squeaky clean, we choose the ever-so-lovely Dove ($1.99 for a 2 pack). —Athena Tsavliris
