Lusts of the Week: Egyptian Magic Skin Cream & the Band-Aid Friction Block Stick

You know those products that people have told you about over and over (and over) again ... but for one reason or another, you just never get around to trying them? Well, that's how I was with Band-Aid Friction Block Stick and Egyptian Magic Skin Cream. No matter how many times I heard how amazing they were, I just never picked them up. Until now, that is.

Drugstore Delights: Suave Naturals Mango Mandarin Body Wash

I currently have 12 body washes in my shower. And you know what? I'm not exaggerating. But among my current favorites is Suave Naturals Mango Mandarin Body Wash.

Not only does this body wash create an intense foaming lather (and we're talking just a quarter-sized amount upon a pouf), but it smells FANTASTIC. Mango and mandarin extracts bring a citrusy, fruity, utterly zesty experience to the shower that none of my other body washes seem to approximate.

And best of all? Suave Naturals Mango Mandarin Body Wash is only $3.49 at drugstore.com. How can you beat that?

Good Drugstore Buy: Noxzema Clean Moisture Makeup Removal Cloths

My extremely lazy self loves a good cleansing cloth ... so when I came across Noxzema Clean Moisture Makeup Removal Cloths, I simply had to try them out.

For starters, I really love the royal blue packaging -- it adds a bold, dynamic jolt to my skincare routine. The cloths themselves smell fresh and a bit medicinal, and they're loaded with Vitamin E to nourish and condition skin. The best part? They're even safe to remove mascara -- and they WORK!

After sweeping them across my face, I'm left with a tingly, ultra-clean feeling -- not to mention a sense of accomplishment on nights when all I want to do is fall into bed without washing my face.

Noxzema Clean Moisture Makeup Removal Cloths are $4.79 for 25 at drugstore.com.

Hello Gorgeous! (Skin, That Is): Lubriderm Skin Nourishing Moisturizing Lotion

Winter has made my hands take a serious beating. They're dry, they're flaky, they basically look like scales. And no matter how many times a day I apply lotion, it just doesn't seem to help! Creams and lotions mask the problem, but then a couple hours later I'm right back to square one. Until I discovered Lubriderm Skin Nourishing Moisturizing Lotion with Sea Kelp Extract, that is.

Spot On: Neutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Eliminating Gel

Unsightly blemishes are my nemesis. Seriously ... every time I see one pop up, I get angry and stressed, which of course just perpetuates the problem and makes them stay even longer. And I've tried everything -- redness-reducing creams, pimple vanishers, cleansers with salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide ... nothing seems to work. But then I very luckily happened upon Neutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Eliminating Gel at the drugstore last week, and -- while I hate to sound dramatic -- immediately noticed results.

The tiny tube intrigued me for a multitude of reasons, from the discreet clear gel held within to the fact that the gel in question contained a 2 percent salicylic acid content! I rubbed some on the offending mark in question the moment I walked in the door and waited to see if it would work any magic. And lo and behold ... after two applications I already noticed a significant change in the size and color of the beast! I've now been applying the gel twice a day for the last three days, and I can honestly say I'm amazed at the results thus far.

I am most definitely hooked for life!

Neutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Eliminating Gel retails for $8 at drugstore.com.

Miracle Worker: Neosporin First Aid Antibiotic Ointment

While not necessarily a beauty product, per se, Neosporin First Aid Antibiotic Ointment has actually become one of my favorite products recently. This ointment has literally made a world of difference in this beauty chick's life over the past few days.

I think we all know how it feels to wake up one morning and discover a blemish the size of Mount Rushmore lurking somewhere on our visage, whether it's on our forehead, the corner of our mouth or right in the middle of our chin. And even when everyone around you claims, "It's not as noticeable as you think -- I can barely even see it!", you just can't bring yourself to believe them. Unfortunately I was struck by one such blemish this week! I tried every home and store-bought remedy possible -- icing it, putting a wet teabag on it, applying toothpaste overnight, massaging in redness-reducing cream. Nothing seemed to work!

And then my brother suggested Neosporin. "Put some on it and leave it alone for awhile," he said. And you know what? IT WORKED!! While the unsightly eyesore has not completely disappeared, it's definitely gone down in size and noticeability.

Neosporin First Aid Antibiotic Ointment retails for $6 at drugstore.com.

Always Coca-Cola: Bonne Bell Smackers Coca-Cola Collection Bag

You know what this beauty chick's biggest pet peeve is? Ordering a Coke at a restaurant and being told, "We don't have Coke, is Pepsi okay?" As the comedian Gary Gulman says, "No! Pepsi NOT okay!" Bonne Bell is definitely on board with this theory, as evidenced by their latest and greatest Smackers invention -- the Smackers Coca-Cola Collection Bag!

Six tasty and delicious flavors await inside an absolutely adorable red plastic bag bedecked with gray fizzes and bubbles. The classics are here, of course -- Cherry Coke, Barq's Root Beer and Black Cherry Vanilla Coke. But three delicious surprises are in store as well, all from the Fanta family -- Strawberry, Grape and Orange! Not that I needed another reason to get on board with Smackers -- they're already in my handbag, my makeup bag, and strewn across my vanity and desk in every color and flavor imaginable.

Unfortunately, this product is no longer available.

Go Ahead, Smell Me -- I'm Wearing Ban Invisible Solid Deodorant!

Now, I'm all for feeling fresh and clean all day. And how does one accomplish that? By wearing strong deodorant, of course! Normally a Secret gal, this beauty chick recently discovered a new product that may just send Secret running for the hills. Ban Invisible Solid Deodorant in Paradise Winds combines heady florals with the fruity scent of citrus for an intensely invigorating -- yet not too pungent -- aroma guaranteed to make you feel refreshed and oh-so-breezy.
