Frugal Snob: Gillette Venus & Olay Razor
Hands down the Gillette Venus & Olay Razor ($11.99) is the best drugstore razor I’ve ever used. It’s moisturizing, you don’t need shaving cream when using it in the shower, and it allows for a quick cut-free close shave. The one downside is that the blades doesn’t last very long (they start to get dull … Continue reading “Frugal Snob: Gillette Venus & Olay Razor”
Frugal Snob: Nordstrom 2012 Anniversary Sale

At half-off, this bathing … Continue reading “Frugal Friday: Go Anchors Away with Submarine Swimsuits Two-Piece Sailor Swimsuit”
Frugal Snob: Dove Refresh+Care Invigorating Dry Shampoo
The other week Stylecaster hosted an event with Dove in the Hamptons to introduce Dove’s latest haircare products. I wouldn’t typically recommend buying haircare products at a drugstore, especially if you have colored hair – in fact, if one of my best friends didn’t work at Stylecaster (Hi Meg!), I would have never even given … Continue reading “Frugal Snob: Dove Refresh+Care Invigorating Dry Shampoo”
Frugal Snob: Target Fall 2012 Beauty Preview
Try as they may to revamp their offerings to make them appear more luxurious, CVS, Duane Reade, and other similar drugstores have nothing on Target. Hands down the best place to shop for affordable beauty products they stock one of my favorite brands (and I’m talking fave at any price point) – Yes to Carrots … Continue reading “Frugal Snob: Target Fall 2012 Beauty Preview”
