I'm a Beauty Editor, and This Is What I Pick Up at Walmart

The Sinful Colors Professional Nail Polish ($3) comes in what seems like an endless amount of colors, and goes on smoothly and opaquely. The price is one you can't beat, either.

I always have a few packs of the Simple Kind to Skin Cleansing Facial Wipes ($4) in my drawers. These babies get every ounce of makeup off every night, without irritating my sensitive skin.

I have yet to find a product that rivals the Milani Eyeshadow Primer ($6) for color-staying power. Each time I use it, my shadow lasts all day long.

The L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Washable Mascara ($9) is truly impressive. Not only does it give you dramatic length and thickness, but it also never flakes under your eyes.

I only recently discovered the magic of Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer ($8). It blends seamlessly into my skin and makes blemishes and darkness disappear.

The Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Moist Deep Conditioning Treatment ($3) is always a staple in my shower to keep my color-treated hair from looking too thirsty.

I've been using the Garnier Fructis Style Wonder Waves Wave-Enhancing Spray ($3) on me air-dried hair since high school. It gives my natural-waves some hold and definition without me having to expose my hair to a curling iron.

As a beauty editor, I'm a sunscreen fanatic. The Neutrogena Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer with SPF 50 ($12) never feels greasy and gives me the protection I need.

In college, as a superbly strapped for cash student, the Softsoap Coconut Butter Body Wash Scrub ($5 for two) saved my skin. In just one product, my skin was cleansed, exfoliated, and moisturized. Plus, it smells great.

Anytime I experience a breakout, I have the Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque ($6) handy to absorb extra oil and dry up my zits. I also love the refreshing smell.
