Yeah. So pricey and I've given up on them for better value and more effective korea brands. Soon jung and aestura are so much better than cicaplast. No contest. And half the price.
It sucks bc their triple repair cream is the only thing that keeps my eczema ridden body moisturized all day 😭 Oh well, worth the $20 I guess. Sometimes they’re a lot cheaper on Amazon just fyi!
I just want to say. I truly appreciate this video. “Top in each category”… Sephora, drug store, body care, hair, LOVE IT! I save them and revisit regularly right before a restock. Thank you!
4th!! I’m very interested in seeing how you feel about the scent of this line… it is STRONG. I don’t mind it, but it is definitely present even after it dries.
long time subscriber here! after 3 years of watching your videos, my hair is the longest and healthiest it’s ever been. Though i was on tret before I stumbled upon your channel, almost all of your skincare reccos have taken my skin to the next level. Also i’m OBSESSED w/ Dove intensive repair shampoo/conditioner. The smell, the feel - perfection at an amazing price point. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us ❤
I bought and used the new Dove bond repair shampoo and mask. Loved loved loved them! I am floored. The shampoo was $4 and the mask was $10!! Unbelievable.
I’ve only tried the Dove Bond repair conditioner because I have very fine hair that is weighed down easily, and I absolutely ADORE the conditioner in this line (especially @ $4/bottle!).
I can’t see this range in the UK yet which I’m gutted about. Hopefully it comes out soon as really want to try! Love the regular Dove conditioners as they are the only ones that make my hair so silky & at a good price.
Your videos are never ‘too long’! I love spending time with my fellow makeup and skincare nerd/addict! Your videos could be an hour long and I’d still be here ❤
please don’t use the word “addict” or “addiction” colloquially. some of us actually deal with these issues and it is quite disrespectful. just wanted to put that out there - I know you didn’t intend any harm. 😊
@@rd73962It really ain't that serious...."former" addict here and I take absolutely no offense to people using the term like that. To each their own! All love ❤
Just used my Pantene Volume and Body shampoo and I’m obsessed. If Abby recommends it, I use it. The QUALITY of my hair has improved drastically over the last two years taking your recommendations. All time favorite hair care gal!!
I bought it 2 days ago and it is like a clarifying shampoo. It took off all the build up and oxidized sebum. I love it!!!!! I shampoo twice a week so I will use it only once a week to do a deep scalp cleansing. It's amazing and freaking affordable, it was literally 5 bucks. Thanks Abbey 😊
Hey Abbey, about 3 years ago I left a pretty critical comment on one of your videos. While I still think my opinion was valid, my delivery was hateful and mean. I’m here to say that I did that during a time I was suffering severely with self-hatred and depression and terrible insecurities regarding other women leftover from my mother’s terrible treatment, and I just wanted to be as mean as possible about everything, especially behind a keyboard. That’s not an excuse for my behavior, but I tell you those things to say that like most nasty things people say, it was 100% about me and not you. I wanted to say I’m really sorry about that and it can’t be easy because I’m sure you get nasty comments all the time. Thank you for the valuable information you provide. As a woman myself trying to succeed in her career too, I’m very sorry. I don’t know what compelled me to write this today, maybe because I have not watched one of your videos in a while and you popped up, but I do hope you see it.
By far my favorite hair mask is Eva NYC. It comes in such a giant tub that it's a great deal and I love the texture and the way my hair feels afterward.
I appreciate you recommending drugstore products. I am genuinely enjoying the Pantene volume. I used to use strictly high-end shampoo and conditioner. Now, I am returning to the drugstore with less money and the same result! P.S. I love the Ouai detox, too!
Same! I still use Pureology Strength Cure but Abbey has helped me replace almost all of my other high end hair products with drugstore alternatives that I loooove. ❤
Try the Garnier and/or L’Oréal EVER pure system. They duped their own product (the Redken Citirc Acid Bonding Complex. I can attest that it works just as well (if not better). I prefer the smell and the extra serums and gel from the Garnier line. The tow products saved six inches of my hair after bleaching (and the new hair growing in is thicker and looks fantastic).
I looooove the Dove Bond Strength line. The OGX oil is too thick for me even though I have sturdy South Asian hair, but the Dove serum? Perfection for me! The line is spectacular and I think it will be perfect year round but especially in winter! Dove is great overall, there isn’t much I don’t like from them. Their Blueberry and Moon Milk body was is incredible!
This video made me purchase the Dove Bond Strength Shampoo & Conditioner. I used it for the first time last night and holy hell - this stuff is the real deal. The difference in my was quite noticeable. When I woke up this morning, I noticed the difference even more. Zero frizz and there is a sleekness/shine to it. Also, it smells AMAZING. I have fine hair and I was afraid it would be weighed down but that did not happen. I'm in love. Thank you for this reco!

Wow Abby you’re right about Dove! I used the bond shampoo, conditioner and mask today. My dry and frizzy hair hasn’t feel this soft. Regretting buying high end now! Thank you!
The Versed Eye balm with retinol is super special. I love the formula! It’s one of those products you just enjoy using. I highly recommend trying it out!
ilysm for this. you don't know how much this helps people. EVERYONE deserves to take care of themselves, but not everyone has the means to pay the price that big companies make you spend in order to do so. thanks for all your time, i'm sure this wasn't easy to put together nor easy on your bank acc! but we appeicate you sis
You're a lifesaver. I was listening to recommendations from the Blowout Professor but he only recommends professional products like Redken, Pureology, Olaplex, etc. I tried the color fanatic leave-in conditioner and liked it but its waaaay too expensive. Bought the loreal one yesterday! I also tried the loreal bonding treatment and my hair doesnt feel like a broom anymore
Yes, he always says non-professional products are basically crap and we know that isn't true. I did manage to get the Color Fanatic for 50% off during Black Friday I think it was and I do love it, but will never buy it at full price.
I love the Australian Gold tinted sunscreens. To me they don't leave any kind of greasy or oily residue so I think people with oily skin would really like them.
The smell of Australian Gold is everything! I’ve been using the bronzing spf tanning spray (idk the actual name 😅)since like 10th grade and the smell takes me back down memory lane 🥰
Happy Sunday from Duluth, Abbey! :) I loved PTR Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream Moisturizer for so long, but didn't like the $52 price. The Vanicream Daily Moisturizer you showed at 5:32 is what I use now instead and it works just as well for me. I loooooove that stuff so much!
I bought the dove Bond care, shampoo, conditioner, and treatment oil yesterday, and used them last night, and I have been loving my hair all day today!!!
I bought the Dove Bond conditioner only (earlier this week) because my hair is super fine/thin & am afraid the shampoo might weigh it down too much. I’m totally in love with the conditioner though!! The scent is divine & its effects have been more positive for my hair than any conditioner I’ve used in a long time. I am truly wondering how much “weigh down”/residue the shampoo might have for more baby fine, oily-leaning hair types?
I absolutely trust your recommendations especially hair care as you are training to be a trichologist. I have always loved ogx, dove and pantene....but you watch other people slag them off and it puts you off....not anymore after listening to you! I will keep an eye out for the new dove haircare line and hopefully it's available in the UK. Great video as always xxx
I love the elf triple bounce or vitamin c serum! They're both great and cheap! The elf holy hydration eye cream is also amazing!!! It's so moisturizing and has helped my under eye area a lot!!
Thank you for making drugstore videos! I have been loving the Dove Intense Repair shampoo and conditioner! I picked it up after your recommendation and am in LOVE! 😍 Please review the new Dove bond repair line! I’d love to hear your thoughts. ❤
Truly appreciate your honesty & not just adding a product to a category just to add one. I’ve tried so many of your recommendations already that I’ll be add more to my list to try ☺️ Love Drugstore 😉
Thank you for putting me on to the Vanicream facial moisturizer. It’s amazing for my sensitive- eczema prone skin. I wear it day and night and it’s super hydrating yet feels light at the same time, and it’s affordable! Amazing product ❤ I’ve repurchased is over 6 times now. going to try the La Roche Posay cicaplast gel next!
abbey what are you doing differently? is it the hair color? the makeup? idk you look so angelic and gorgeous!!!! maybe its the love glow?!? you look so radiant :)
That milani lip stain is next level. I use the shade "rose rising" and blend it out with my finger then go over it with the "rose envy" lip oil from elf. Literally the perfect everyday nude pink rosy lip combo. The colors compliment each other nicely and they also wear off really well so you're not left with a ring in the center of no product
I would love to see all your favorites that are budget conscious. Since I know there are K beauty brands and maybe others that are budget friendly but not in a drugstore, just like you mentioned.
My favorite cleanser is the LRP Lipikar AP+ Gentle Foaming Cleansing Oil. I have tried so many cleansers in the last five years, and it’s the only one I’ve found that doesn’t dry out my skin. The LRP Toleriane Dermo Face Cleanser has been replaced in my routine by the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. It works as well as the LRP for me, and costs a lot less. I only use it when my skin barrier is compromised, I need a cleanser in the morning, or I need a cleanser that I can use without water. I keep trying ceramide containing moisturizers, but I always come back to the Vanicream Daily Moisturizer. For my super sensitive skin, there isn’t anything else on the market that compares to it, and the price point can’t be beat.
Pantene volume and body is now my daily shampoo. My hair gets super oily so I can use it everyday but it’s not too much for me. I love it! I had been trying a bunch of different brands for quite a while but I’m coming home to Pantene which I had been using for a long time before. Can’t be beat!
Thank you SO much! My hair is looking so much better than just a year ago. I appreciate your thoughtful reviews of these products. I am on a drugstore budget and this helps so much!
Best hair mask at the drugstore is the Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen and Restore Treatment Mask. It's very thick so I add a little water to make it slippery but my hair health has never been better.
I really appreciate your genuineness. Not putting a product in your reviews just for the sake of filling a category. I may have to try that concealer, maybe my problem is not using a thinner one 🤷♀️
Your videos can never be too long, I could listen and watch you all day!!! I am drugstore to the core. There are very few high end products I can afford or I'm willing to spend money on. Thank you for all your recommendations and all the hard work putting out videos like this. Have you tried the Klavuu Nourishing Care Lip Sleeping Pack??? Still my favorite lip product for night time. Many blessings!!!
I’ve used the dove hair mask a few times because I got it a few months back to test but it seriously made my hair feel insanely soft. Like it feels silky in a way that when you look at the ingredients it makes sense like it feels peptide-y? lipid-esque? It’s like there’s silicone smoothing (which is also nice and the mask definitely contains those I’m not anti silicone) and then there’s this kind of silky effect. It feels sort of plumping almost? I find that super silicone heavy (once again not anti silicone but many reparative products can almost lean toward the sort of smoothing heat protective prep kind of feel?) products can weigh my hair down even though you get the nice slip and stuff in the shower but the dove mask doesn’t have that effect. It feels smooth but unless you were to put it like on your roots it really doesn’t weigh the hair down. Especially for how much slip and silkiness you get. HOWEVER, I’m not smell sensitive but the scent was very strong and gave me a headache the next day so I had to wash it out. If I use it these days I use it on the ends like an oil before I wash. Which is a shame. I’ll have to see if using a smaller amount would help or not.
@@AbbeyYungsame but forcing myself to try the L’Oréal and GF bond repair duos too since those are also on ur recommendations page… dove was too good and I tried that one first.
Yesssss the Wet Brush Pro Shine Enhancer!!! All time favorite brush. I don’t have damaged hair anymore, but I’ve been buying it for 4-5 years now and it honestly beats out annnnny of my expensive brushes ☺️
@@paulam6182 yes!! I use it on both wet and dry hair. Just always start at the ends of your hair of course. I also use detangler/leave in when wet. It detangles SO well. Best brush I’ve ever had. Better than my Mason Pearson tbh. That specific one (Wet Brush Pro Shine Enhancer) has been hard to find in stores the past few years for some reason, but Wet Brush has their own official store on Amazon and I buy mine from there! ☺️
La roche posay toleriane milky cleanser is my favorite cleanser ever for my dry eczema-prone skin!! It’s the best!! I am lucky because i am french so the 400ml bottle is like 12€
You saved my hair after I warch your hair oiling vide. I was having dermatitis on my scalp and I use oil on my scalp and it flares but when I don't apply my ends being so dead so by watching you can oil only ends change everything for me. hairfall decreased hair feels fresh ends nourished and also less itchy scalp God bless you. You saved my hair and my 3 to 4years long problem that keep on happening and I want able to find the solution as hair oiling by this way I see first time. I feel bless by watching hair oiling video. Luv you!!
I just went from dark ash hair to some sort of magenta & now need to redo my personal color profile…I have too much makeup so it’s actually kind of fun, and I’m getting ideas to shift my tone slightly cool. I’m naturally neutral but splotchy, am stunned by how much difference it made to shift my undertone, at 53, for the pale, I think reducing contrast seems to help make bright hair look less aging (my younger friends & colleagues have given me compliments in such a surprised tone lol, I’m picking up hints that ppl don’t think bright hair looks aesthetically good on older women, just usually fun & “jazzy” personality.
Naturium has a clear one in that lip line, and I use it as a lip mask at night! My lips are dry enough that I need more than just a barrier to keep moisture in during the day, BUT at night, I sleep with my mouth open and this lip product works great for protecting them over night! During the day I prefer to go with the HangoveRx Pillow Balm Lip Treatment from Too Faced which you can get in Targets that have an Ulta section. So far it’s the only thing I’ve found that acts more like a moisturizer for my lips rather than just a barrier to protect my lips.
This is the first video of your that It seen, and I really enjoyed it! You introduced me to products that are new to me like the Naturium Lip Balm. And, you've got me interested in checking out the Dove hair care, and Maybelline Lash Sensational (which says a lot, as I usually don't care for Maybelline mascaras). I'd also love to try Flower's Moonstone Eye Light. Thank you for all of your work to give a fun, through review on some great products, that won't break the bank. ❤
My fave drugstore sunscreen is the Good Molecules mineral sunscreen! It’s hydrating and light and wears beautifully under my makeup. But I’ve found it is best to make sure my moisturizer underneath is fully set and that I press this in to absorb fully before applying makeup. It is not tinted and does not have a strong scent. 🙌❤️
Love the video, I really appreciate the affordable options. Your skin and hair is just gorgeous! Thank you for doing all the hard work of trying and researching the products you share.
For eyes: the vichy 89 for eyes is actually great for the day time! It took me so long to find something. It has caffeine and is hydrating without being heavy since it's a serum. It hydrates well for under makeup
I love the Elf balm, the Dove Shampoo and Conditioner intensive repair, Nivea lip repair, Vani cream and the OGX coconut oil . I like the No 7 vitamin C eye cream in the troller. I love the tinted sunscreen from Australian Gold I use it as my base product.
I am now realizing in this video how many of your recommendations I like 😂 The La Roche Posay dermo cleanser is the only cleanser that doesn’t irritate my skin, the Maybelline skin tint is gorgeous, the Naturium lip balm is the only lip product I have found that doesn’t chap my lips - the vanilla one as a lip mask overnight is amazing - the OGX coconut oils are wonderful, once I incorporated this into my routine my dad even said that my hair looked nice even though I use it pre-shampoo, the Loreal shampoos are great. Can’t wait for more reviews 🤓
I recently started using the Dove Bond 10-in-1 Serum on my daughter's and my own hair and honestly I am SO impressed with it! Our hair has never felt more healthy/silky! And it lasts for DAYS! As a Mom to young twins, with no time to get ready every day, this is my new HG! Will DEF be trying out the rest of the line!
Could you possibly talk in more detail about and maybe compare the Dove bond repair line and the Garnier one? I'd also love to see updated heat protectant favorites! I know a while back you talked about finding the best aerosol heat protection sprays. I am trying to do the same currently but it seems they're not that common or I just don't know where to look! Currently using the Morrocconoil one which is the first I've tried. Thanks!
Working on a drugstore bond repair video as we speak! And will add to my list but Living Proof is my current favorite aerosol heat protectant. Moroccan oil is a great one too!
@@AbbeyYung I have been on the hunt for a heat protectant spray for very fine/thin hair. Currently using Keranique Hair Thickening Spray - Lift & Repair Volumizing Spray - Styling Texturizing Spray For Fine Hair - Heat Damage Protectant With Keratin & a bit of Kenra Platinum Blow Dry Spray on my ends when hair is nearly dry. Would highly appreciate any other recommendations for heat protection for thin/fine hair, thanks!
the elf color corrector (the one that comes in a pot) is, against all odds, the best thing I've ever used to cover my blue circles. I've tried dozens of drugstosre and high end concealers, but my makeup tends to be more on the natural side and my skin is dry so literally all concealers, including hyped hydrating ones, look cakey on my skin and ALSO don't fully cover the blue circles. this unassuming thing does both and is like $3. forever rebuy
I really love the Nyx Bare with Me Serum concealer. I don't know how it works for oily skin but for my combo/dry skin, it it amazing. I set it with the Elf Halo Glow powder and it looks super natural, gives medium coverage, and doesn't crease. And for the bottom waterline, I absolutely adore the Nyx eyeliner pencil in Velvet. It's a light gold that just just reflects light beautifully without looking disco-y.
@@AbbeyYung I find they run a bit yellow but I just mix in a touch of the Elf blue color corrector and it's perfect. It's a small extra step but to me it's worth it for a great, affordable formula!
Yes, I would love to see other videos on multiple products you like in the same category...especially hair care items. I don't have damaged hair but want to know if I can still use the products you do or if you have other recommendations on products you like.
I’m so glad you made this video, I was looking forward to it. Most of the drugstore products that you have recommended, specially the hair care products and makeup, have worked so so well for me thankfully with God’s grace. I’m a very sensitive girly from head to toe, so I’m always sceptical about any new product. But your recommendations have never failed me. Thankyou very much Abbey. Also the slip of tongue in between videos and the little self-mockery that you do after is adorable. Love it. Lots of love♥️ And ya, the drugstore option you asked for eyecream, I would say Good molecules Yerba mate wakeup eyegel seem to be a good option. I’m not sure if I have written the exact name or not, because its a mouthful, but I’m sure you will get it. I would love to know what you think of it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to go through everything like this! I love drugstore products -- I have just as much fun trying out new products from the drugstore than I do high end ones. I'd actually say it's a bit more fun, because when a high end product is a dud or doesn't last, it's a huge disappointment. But when you can buy 4-5 drugstore products for the price of 1 high-end product, it's not a big deal if one doesn't work out.
Hi Abbey, I love your channel! As someone who exercises frequently and has to wear hair up for work I would really appreciate a dedicated video on secure but non-damaging hairstyles. Thanks for all you do!
Dove Bond Strength Conditioner !!! I bought it because it was on sale and wow! Never has a conditioner made such a big difference and there was a time when I spent a fortune on my shampoo and conditioner ! I'm going to go buy all this collection!
Oh and the pantene volume have been a favorite of mine for many many years. When I saw you start talking about it and its clarifying properties I was enlightened why I loved it so much. 💗
I LOVE the No7 Protect and Perfect Advanced Serum. It’s a Vit C serum that feels so great going on, dries down perfectly and is doing wonders for my skin (in combination with Paula’s choice Azaleic Acid).
I noticed lots of Maybelline products. Maybelline is nearly tied with NYX for my favorite drugstore brands and I do love Elf too. I think you need to try some NYX.
Love the Maybelline Active Wear concealer. Very skin like thin finish with medium coverage if you need to cover larger areas and not concealing a spot. For a spot Od cover with something a bit thicker and full coverage as the Active wear moves before drying down
I love the Pantene shampoo ! My roots get SO greasy so fast and I can just feel my hair is squeaky clean after I use it. Does feel a bit stripping but nothing additional products can’t fix
I’m surprised La Roche Posay is still a drugstore product considering their prices.
In europe it’s only available in the pharmacy😬
Yeah. So pricey and I've given up on them for better value and more effective korea brands. Soon jung and aestura are so much better than cicaplast. No contest. And half the price.
@@nnoemi_ my favorite moisturizer from them is $36 at target. When I’m in Greece during the summers I stock up, it’s 15 euro lol

Yes, he always says non-professional products are basically crap and we know that isn't true. I did manage to get the Color Fanatic for 50% off during Black Friday I think it was and I do love it, but will never buy it at full price.
I love the Australian Gold tinted sunscreens. To me they don't leave any kind of greasy or oily residue so I think people with oily skin would really like them.
Same! I tried many tinted sunscreens but I always end up going back to the Australian gold sunscreens.
It is nice but is has shea butter which makes me (and many acne prone folks) break out 😭
I have dry skin and it was a no for me, so I certainly back up your comment!
The smell of Australian Gold is everything! I’ve been using the bronzing spf tanning spray (idk the actual name 😅)since like 10th grade and the smell takes me back down memory lane 🥰
Happy Sunday from Duluth, Abbey! :) I loved PTR Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream Moisturizer for so long, but didn't like the $52 price. The Vanicream Daily Moisturizer you showed at 5:32 is what I use now instead and it works just as well for me. I loooooove that stuff so much!
yay I am so glad you love it too!
The Herbal Essences bio renew mask with argan oil and aloe is soo good. Gives me glossy, shiny hair. I’m using up some others so I can go back to it!
I need to try!
I bought the dove Bond care, shampoo, conditioner, and treatment oil yesterday, and used them last night, and I have been loving my hair all day today!!!
omg yesss
I bought the Dove Bond conditioner only (earlier this week) because my hair is super fine/thin & am afraid the shampoo might weigh it down too much. I’m totally in love with the conditioner though!! The scent is divine & its effects have been more positive for my hair than any conditioner I’ve used in a long time.
I am truly wondering how much “weigh down”/residue the shampoo might have for more baby fine, oily-leaning hair types?
@@LesalyI have very fine thin hair (thanks to Ehlers Danlos) and it doesn’t weigh my hair down at all 😊
I absolutely trust your recommendations especially hair care as you are training to be a trichologist. I have always loved ogx, dove and pantene....but you watch other people slag them off and it puts you off....not anymore after listening to you! I will keep an eye out for the new dove haircare line and hopefully it's available in the UK. Great video as always xxx
I love the elf triple bounce or vitamin c serum! They're both great and cheap! The elf holy hydration eye cream is also amazing!!! It's so moisturizing and has helped my under eye area a lot!!
The dove bonding repair mask is by far one of my favorite products you have ever recommended and I will forever be keeping it!
Thank you for making drugstore videos! I have been loving the Dove Intense Repair shampoo and conditioner! I picked it up after your recommendation and am in LOVE! 😍 Please review the new Dove bond repair line! I’d love to hear your thoughts. ❤
Truly appreciate your honesty & not just adding a product to a category just to add one. I’ve tried so many of your recommendations already that I’ll be add more to my list to try ☺️ Love Drugstore 😉
Thank you for putting me on to the Vanicream facial moisturizer. It’s amazing for my sensitive- eczema prone skin. I wear it day and night and it’s super hydrating yet feels light at the same time, and it’s affordable! Amazing product ❤ I’ve repurchased is over 6 times now. going to try the La Roche Posay cicaplast gel next!
Please do a video on affordable Korean skincare!
Yes to a video with even more options besides your favorites!!
I need a whole 30 minute video on body care products!!!!! High end and drug store as well! I would love to hear your recommendations.
CeraVe body moisturizer recommended by 2 dermatologists. Even for older, crepey skin!
I just bought the dove and I can’t believe how amazing they are!
abbey what are you doing differently? is it the hair color? the makeup? idk you look so angelic and gorgeous!!!! maybe its the love glow?!? you look so radiant :)
A great dupe for the It Cosmetics bye bye breakout serum is the Cocokind postbiotic acne serum and it’s at the drugstore!
ohhhh must try
That milani lip stain is next level. I use the shade "rose rising" and blend it out with my finger then go over it with the "rose envy" lip oil from elf. Literally the perfect everyday nude pink rosy lip combo. The colors compliment each other nicely and they also wear off really well so you're not left with a ring in the center of no product
I would love to see all your favorites that are budget conscious. Since I know there are K beauty brands and maybe others that are budget friendly but not in a drugstore, just like you mentioned.
I never use eye cream just use your regular products and brings them up to your eyes. I always watch Dr Dray and I got that from her .
My favorite cleanser is the LRP Lipikar AP+ Gentle Foaming Cleansing Oil. I have tried so many cleansers in the last five years, and it’s the only one I’ve found that doesn’t dry out my skin. The LRP Toleriane Dermo Face Cleanser has been replaced in my routine by the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. It works as well as the LRP for me, and costs a lot less. I only use it when my skin barrier is compromised, I need a cleanser in the morning, or I need a cleanser that I can use without water.
I keep trying ceramide containing moisturizers, but I always come back to the Vanicream Daily Moisturizer. For my super sensitive skin, there isn’t anything else on the market that compares to it, and the price point can’t be beat.
Try The Ordinary cleanser. Inexpensive, does the job and not at all drying.
@@q5130 Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it’s not as good for my skin as the LRP.
Pantene volume and body is now my daily shampoo. My hair gets super oily so I can use it everyday but it’s not too much for me. I love it! I had been trying a bunch of different brands for quite a while but I’m coming home to Pantene which I had been using for a long time before. Can’t be beat!
I just bought the dove shampoo and conditioner and my daughter is obsessed with after one time!!! Lol. Cant wait to use it!
Thank you SO much! My hair is looking so much better than just a year ago. I appreciate your thoughtful reviews of these products. I am on a drugstore budget and this helps so much!
Best hair mask at the drugstore is the Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen and Restore Treatment Mask. It's very thick so I add a little water to make it slippery but my hair health has never been better.
Can't wait to hear this Dove bond repair update!!!😉
I love your drugstore videos. Thanks for sharing your picks with us. 👍🏼
yay so glad! thanks for watching!
YES! Definitely need a video review of Dove Bond Strength line 😁
I really appreciate your genuineness. Not putting a product in your reviews just for the sake of filling a category. I may have to try that concealer, maybe my problem is not using a thinner one 🤷♀️
The new cereve 50 spf daily moisturizer is amazing. No cast and it blends in immediately and just feels like moisturizer on the skin.
Your videos can never be too long, I could listen and watch you all day!!! I am drugstore to the core. There are very few high end products I can afford or I'm willing to spend money on. Thank you for all your recommendations and all the hard work putting out videos like this.
Have you tried the Klavuu Nourishing Care Lip Sleeping Pack??? Still my favorite lip product for night time.
Many blessings!!!
thank you so much for watching! and no but I just added to my amazon cart haha thank you for the rec!
I’ve used the dove hair mask a few times because I got it a few months back to test but it seriously made my hair feel insanely soft. Like it feels silky in a way that when you look at the ingredients it makes sense like it feels peptide-y? lipid-esque? It’s like there’s silicone smoothing (which is also nice and the mask definitely contains those I’m not anti silicone) and then there’s this kind of silky effect. It feels sort of plumping almost? I find that super silicone heavy (once again not anti silicone but many reparative products can almost lean toward the sort of smoothing heat protective prep kind of feel?) products can weigh my hair down even though you get the nice slip and stuff in the shower but the dove mask doesn’t have that effect. It feels smooth but unless you were to put it like on your roots it really doesn’t weigh the hair down. Especially for how much slip and silkiness you get. HOWEVER, I’m not smell sensitive but the scent was very strong and gave me a headache the next day so I had to wash it out. If I use it these days I use it on the ends like an oil before I wash. Which is a shame. I’ll have to see if using a smaller amount would help or not.
Yeeeessss!! Great video idea!!! EVERY CATEGORY🙌🏼🙌🏼
My other hair products have been neglected since buying the dove bond strength trio!
All I want to use is Dove lol
@@AbbeyYungsame but forcing myself to try the L’Oréal and GF bond repair duos too since those are also on ur recommendations page… dove was too good and I tried that one first.
Yesssss the Wet Brush Pro Shine Enhancer!!! All time favorite brush. I don’t have damaged hair anymore, but I’ve been buying it for 4-5 years now and it honestly beats out annnnny of my expensive brushes ☺️
Can you use this on wet and dry hair xx
@@paulam6182 yes!! I use it on both wet and dry hair. Just always start at the ends of your hair of course. I also use detangler/leave in when wet. It detangles SO well. Best brush I’ve ever had. Better than my Mason Pearson tbh.
That specific one (Wet Brush Pro Shine Enhancer) has been hard to find in stores the past few years for some reason, but Wet Brush has their own official store on Amazon and I buy mine from there! ☺️
Would love if you have a favorite cruelty free and vegan haircare video! Please!!!
La roche posay toleriane milky cleanser is my favorite cleanser ever for my dry eczema-prone skin!! It’s the best!! I am lucky because i am french so the 400ml bottle is like 12€
I cannot WAIT for the lip stain video! That Milano lipstain is gorgeous though and now I want to go out and buy some.
Love this! Please do an updated body care favourites 😍
You saved my hair after I warch your hair oiling vide. I was having dermatitis on my scalp and I use oil on my scalp and it flares but when I don't apply my ends being so dead so by watching you can oil only ends change everything for me. hairfall decreased hair feels fresh ends nourished and also less itchy scalp God bless you. You saved my hair and my 3 to 4years long problem that keep on happening and I want able to find the solution as hair oiling by this way I see first time. I feel bless by watching hair oiling video. Luv you!!
Would love to see a dedicated self tan video - all favorites in every category, showdown, etc! Love your videos
Fake tan is so over !
(& trashy!)
Everybody who's Anybody
has stopped using it🙏🏼🇬🇧
I have been enjoying the Andalou Naturals Brightening Luminous Eye Serum and I enjoy the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face Serum SPF 60+ for sunscreen
I just went from dark ash hair to some sort of magenta & now need to redo my personal color profile…I have too much makeup so it’s actually kind of fun, and I’m getting ideas to shift my tone slightly cool. I’m naturally neutral but splotchy, am stunned by how much difference it made to shift my undertone, at 53, for the pale, I think reducing contrast seems to help make bright hair look less aging (my younger friends & colleagues have given me compliments in such a surprised tone lol, I’m picking up hints that ppl don’t think bright hair looks aesthetically good on older women, just usually fun & “jazzy” personality.
Naturium has a clear one in that lip line, and I use it as a lip mask at night! My lips are dry enough that I need more than just a barrier to keep moisture in during the day, BUT at night, I sleep with my mouth open and this lip product works great for protecting them over night! During the day I prefer to go with the HangoveRx Pillow Balm Lip Treatment from Too Faced which you can get in Targets that have an Ulta section. So far it’s the only thing I’ve found that acts more like a moisturizer for my lips rather than just a barrier to protect my lips.
I love the Flower Beauty blushes! I bought 4 of the same one so i wont run out for a long time!
I would LOVE a series of your favorite products for bleached hair!
This is the first video of your that It seen, and I really enjoyed it! You introduced me to products that are new to me like the Naturium Lip Balm. And, you've got me interested in checking out the Dove hair care, and Maybelline Lash Sensational (which says a lot, as I usually don't care for Maybelline mascaras). I'd also love to try Flower's Moonstone Eye Light. Thank you for all of your work to give a fun, through review on some great products, that won't break the bank. ❤
My fave drugstore sunscreen is the Good Molecules mineral sunscreen! It’s hydrating and light and wears beautifully under my makeup. But I’ve found it is best to make sure my moisturizer underneath is fully set and that I press this in to absorb fully before applying makeup. It is not tinted and does not have a strong scent. 🙌❤️
Love the video, I really appreciate the affordable options. Your skin and hair is just gorgeous! Thank you for doing all the hard work of trying and researching the products you share.
For eyes: the vichy 89 for eyes is actually great for the day time! It took me so long to find something. It has caffeine and is hydrating without being heavy since it's a serum. It hydrates well for under makeup
Every time I wear that Maybelline skin tint I love my makeup that day. Looks so good and is way more than a tint!
I love the Elf balm, the Dove Shampoo and Conditioner intensive repair, Nivea lip repair, Vani cream and the OGX coconut oil . I like the No 7 vitamin C eye cream in the troller. I love the tinted sunscreen from Australian Gold I use it as my base product.
Your hair colour is so so gorgeous here! And your skin is glowing
I really love these “top from each category” videos, especially from the drugstore!! ❤
I am now realizing in this video how many of your recommendations I like 😂 The La Roche Posay dermo cleanser is the only cleanser that doesn’t irritate my skin, the Maybelline skin tint is gorgeous, the Naturium lip balm is the only lip product I have found that doesn’t chap my lips - the vanilla one as a lip mask overnight is amazing - the OGX coconut oils are wonderful, once I incorporated this into my routine my dad even said that my hair looked nice even though I use it pre-shampoo, the Loreal shampoos are great. Can’t wait for more reviews 🤓
I recently started using the Dove Bond 10-in-1 Serum on my daughter's and my own hair and honestly I am SO impressed with it! Our hair has never felt more healthy/silky! And it lasts for DAYS! As a Mom to young twins, with no time to get ready every day, this is my new HG! Will DEF be trying out the rest of the line!
It's so so nice!!
@AbbeyYung OMG you actually replied to me! Lol fangirling rn 😂 Love your content!! ❤
The new Naturium lip mask is everything. Surprised you’re not raving about it everyday. It’s like the amazing gloss but on crack.
It's great!! I still prefer my Laneige tho
@@AbbeyYung Staring to think I got a bad batch of Laneige. It’s a thin watery gel with zero hydration power. I threw it away. I should reconsider:-)
@@elcarolineI think the Laneige mask is garbage.
Thank you girl. For sharing drugstore options.
Thank you, Abbey! I so enjoyed the video and would love to hear more about the new Dove hair care line. 💕
The dedication to your job is unmatched! You are thorough and passionate and it is palpable! Thanks for caring about what you do!
Could you possibly talk in more detail about and maybe compare the Dove bond repair line and the Garnier one?
I'd also love to see updated heat protectant favorites! I know a while back you talked about finding the best aerosol heat protection sprays. I am trying to do the same currently but it seems they're not that common or I just don't know where to look! Currently using the Morrocconoil one which is the first I've tried.
Thanks!
Love this idea! I have the Garnier ready to use next :D
Yep would like to see a comparison between the l'oreal bond repair and the Garnier, since they're both with citric acid and the same parent company
Working on a drugstore bond repair video as we speak! And will add to my list but Living Proof is my current favorite aerosol heat protectant. Moroccan oil is a great one too!
@@AbbeyYung I have been on the hunt for a heat protectant spray for very fine/thin hair. Currently using Keranique Hair Thickening Spray - Lift & Repair Volumizing Spray - Styling Texturizing Spray For Fine Hair - Heat Damage Protectant With Keratin & a bit of Kenra Platinum Blow Dry Spray on my ends when hair is nearly dry.
Would highly appreciate any other recommendations for heat protection for thin/fine hair, thanks!
the elf color corrector (the one that comes in a pot) is, against all odds, the best thing I've ever used to cover my blue circles. I've tried dozens of drugstosre and high end concealers, but my makeup tends to be more on the natural side and my skin is dry so literally all concealers, including hyped hydrating ones, look cakey on my skin and ALSO don't fully cover the blue circles. this unassuming thing does both and is like $3. forever rebuy
I really love the Nyx Bare with Me Serum concealer. I don't know how it works for oily skin but for my combo/dry skin, it it amazing. I set it with the Elf Halo Glow powder and it looks super natural, gives medium coverage, and doesn't crease.
And for the bottom waterline, I absolutely adore the Nyx eyeliner pencil in Velvet. It's a light gold that just just reflects light beautifully without looking disco-y.
I stopped reaching for this one awhile ago and forgot to rebuy it... need to try it again!
@@AbbeyYung I find they run a bit yellow but I just mix in a touch of the Elf blue color corrector and it's perfect. It's a small extra step but to me it's worth it for a great, affordable formula!
Yes! Please do the review on the Dove products!
Yes, I would love to see other videos on multiple products you like in the same category...especially hair care items. I don't have damaged hair but want to know if I can still use the products you do or if you have other recommendations on products you like.
I’m so glad you made this video, I was looking forward to it. Most of the drugstore products that you have recommended, specially the hair care products and makeup, have worked so so well for me thankfully with God’s grace. I’m a very sensitive girly from head to toe, so I’m always sceptical about any new product. But your recommendations have never failed me. Thankyou very much Abbey. Also the slip of tongue in between videos and the little self-mockery that you do after is adorable. Love it. Lots of love♥️
And ya, the drugstore option you asked for eyecream, I would say Good molecules Yerba mate wakeup eyegel seem to be a good option. I’m not sure if I have written the exact name or not, because its a mouthful, but I’m sure you will get it. I would love to know what you think of it.
I use Dove products - hair, skin, bath and body. Excellent products and affordable ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for taking the time to go through everything like this! I love drugstore products -- I have just as much fun trying out new products from the drugstore than I do high end ones. I'd actually say it's a bit more fun, because when a high end product is a dud or doesn't last, it's a huge disappointment. But when you can buy 4-5 drugstore products for the price of 1 high-end product, it's not a big deal if one doesn't work out.
totally agree with you. buying drugstore is less stressful!
Couldn't agree with this more something about the drugstore is extra exciting for me lol
Hi Abbey, I love your channel! As someone who exercises frequently and has to wear hair up for work
I would really appreciate a dedicated video on secure but non-damaging hairstyles. Thanks for all you do!
Dove Bond Strength Conditioner !!! I bought it because it was on sale and wow! Never has a conditioner made such a big difference and there was a time when I spent a fortune on my shampoo and conditioner ! I'm going to go buy all this collection!
Oh and the pantene volume have been a favorite of mine for many many years. When I saw you start talking about it and its clarifying properties I was enlightened why I loved it so much. 💗
I LOVE the No7 Protect and Perfect Advanced Serum. It’s a Vit C serum that feels so great going on, dries down perfectly and is doing wonders for my skin (in combination with Paula’s choice Azaleic Acid).
Love everything La Roche Posay. The new Ciceplast gel is amazing- the hand cream too!!! I use the repair gel on my eyes over my retinol. Love!!
I really like the Cetaphil Mineral Liquid Sunscreen! It doesn’t leave a white cast for me and it dries down well.
I noticed lots of Maybelline products. Maybelline is nearly tied with NYX for my favorite drugstore brands and I do love Elf too. I think you need to try some NYX.
I have never seen such an amazing skin of any1 before,ur skin is awesome,without makeup it’s perfect,God gifted!
After trying the dove products I trust you with my life istg they are SOOOO impressive
Love the Maybelline Active Wear concealer. Very skin like thin finish with medium coverage if you need to cover larger areas and not concealing a spot. For a spot Od cover with something a bit thicker and full coverage as the Active wear moves before drying down
I love the Pantene shampoo ! My roots get SO greasy so fast and I can just feel my hair is squeaky clean after I use it. Does feel a bit stripping but nothing additional products can’t fix
All of your favorites in a specific category would be very much appreciated!!! Thank you 💜💜
