Audra Lowe: We all have our essentials when it comes to beauty products and some of our favorites can be pretty expensive. But they don’t necessarily have to be. Holly Carter is here. She’s the beauty editor of People StyleWatch and Holly has got some amazing beauty bargains that are picked straight from the pros, right?
Holly Carter: Yes.
Audra Lowe: Welcome to the show.
Holly Carter: Thank you so much.
Audra Lowe: So, what makes these products so good? Did you try them out? Did you like them? Didn’t like them?
Holly Carter: We tested them but we also went to our favorite celebrity makeup artists, hairdressers and dermatologists and asked for their favorite picks because they get to try everything, and here’s what we picked.
Audra Lowe: Okay, so we’re going to start off over here with the makeup must have’s and I hear this is your absolute favorite?
Holly Carter: I love this product. This is the Cover Girl Outlast Lipstain. And remember when you had to eat a Popsicle and you would have that fresh fruity color? This gives the same effect. It's like a marker, so you paint it on. It's so easy to use. It lasts all day.
Audra Lowe: It's not too harsh looking though?
Holly Carter: No, it's like a stain so it's very light and fresh looking, and it's only $8.00 at drugstores.
Audra Lowe: Not bad.
Holly Carter: Not so bad. And then we have L’Oreal High Intensity Pigment Navy Coal Liner. We’re all about the 80s right now for fashion and beauty, so that sexy, smokey eye is totally in. And this is navy, so it's a little bit of a different take on the trend. It has slight iridescence. There’s a brush right in the bottle so it's easy to apply and it's only $13.00.
Audra Lowe: Unique bottling too, I like the packaging.
Holly Carter: Yes.
Audra Lowe: Okay, and next here?
Holly Carter: Next we have TRESemme's anti-frizz smoothing crème and this is great. It's a celebrity stylist’s favorite. You just need a dab on dry hair to get rid of flyaway, makes hair silky and shinny, and it's only $4.50.
Audra Lowe: $4.50? That’s it?
Holly Carter: At drugstores. It’s a great deal.
Audra Lowe: And next, this one here is for the face.
Holly Carter: Yes. This is the Neutrogena Wave Power Cleanser. It makes washing your face kind of fun. It's girlie pink first of all and it's battery operated, so it vibrates which increases the exfoliation action. There’s a disposable cleansing pad at the end, so you dip it in water, put it in your face and you're good to go.
Audra Lowe: Okay.
Holly Carter: And it's only $13.00.
Audra Lowe: See, these are really prices, too. I like that. Now this is another product I've been hearing a lot about. A lot of makeup artists and beauty experts say that they really, really like this product.
Holly Carter: Time and time again, dermatologists, all experts recommend Olay products. They are great deal and this is the Olay Definity UV foaming moisturizer. It's like a triple threat because it's lightweight so it absorbs quickly into the skin. It gets rid of discoloration and dullness. And it has SPF15, so you're good to go all day long. And it's only $28.00 at drugstores.
Audra Lowe: $28.00, okay and good results too, so it's worth—it’s right for the price?
Holly Carter: Yes, it's definitely worth it.
Audra Lowe: For sensitive skin, you guys like Dove’s nourishing body wash and what makes this so different?
Holly Carter: This is great. It has something called “Nutri moisture” in it which is a new complex for Dove and it actually penetrates deeply into the skin so you get to the deeper layers. So you're basically well moisturized and ready to go before you even get out of the shower. And it's only $4.00 at drugstore.com.
Audra Lowe: Okay, and last but not the least, you guys have an exclusive discount. This is something that you really feel pretty—
Holly Carter: We’re so excited about this. We partnered with CVS and CVS.com actually to give our readers 20% off on all beauty products on the site until November 26th, which is really amazing.

Audra Lowe: And as a beauty expert, do you recommend these brushes in particular because you know sometimes, you can buy the brushes and then you can tell the difference. But do you guys like these?
Holly Carter: I think they’re great. They’re soft. They’re high quality bristles. They’re so compact so you can just throw them in your purse and it's a great deal. It's only$10.00 at CVS.com.
