It's been a slow week for me. The stickiness of summer has settled in. To ease the heat, I'm currently drinking some iced coffee as I write this. I only drink iced coffee in the summer, where I promptly become obsessed with it, like I've never had it before. Every year. Delish. Oh and it's sweet tea year 'round in this house.
Anyway...
Do y'all remember a couple of weeks ago when I shared my fave finds from Amazon? I'm back with another edition for all of you Trader Joe's fans out there--that would def be me. Y'all, their peonies for $6 for a bunch are worth the drive. But they have lots of hidden gems, like in the beauty department! After testing various beauty items over the years, I've got my first addition of 10 must-try Trader Joe's beauty products. These are cheap, effective, and the packaging isn't fancy. But they work! AND EVERYTHING IS $6 and under!
Coconut Body Butter
- $4.99--It's creamy, it's lightly scented and it's moisturizing (or you can DIY like I've shared on my blog). BONUS: Look for the seasonal body butters. They do a pumpkin one, pomegranate, and a trio of mini bb's.
Refresh Citrus Body Wash
- $2.99--Such an amazing deal and worth it for the scent alone!
Oatmeal Exfoliant Soap
- $2.99--My favorite natural exfoliating soap
Shave Cream in Mango
- $3.49--I've been getting into shave creams this year and have really been liking this one. It's half the price of a mango-scented one I used to get from Target
Lavender Salt Scrub
- $5.99--Another one of those products that I make but I understand not everyone has the time or desire to. This is one of the pricier items on this list at a whopping $6, but a little goes a long way.
Enrich Moisturizing Face Lotion
- $3.99--If you're looking for a very light facial moisturizer with SPF15, give this one a try.
Nourish Antioxidant Facial Moisturizer
- $5.99--Full of natural oils and goodness, I like this for dry skin.
Spray Sunscreen SPF 50
- $5.99--This one doesn't leave a sticky residue and it smells like the beach. While I prefer traditional cream sunscreens, this one works well. BONUS: There's a new stick sunscreen that debuted this month. Really good.
Tea Tree Oil Shampoo
- $3.99--A classic TJ product. I use this for the tingling sensation and when I have buildup on my scalp
All-in-One Facial Cleanser
- $5.99--This is gentle as it cleans and lightly exofoliates
--All products are found in TJ stores or online at Amazon; however, they are usually doubled the price, which is why I didn't link them here.--

ReplyDeleteThat body butter sounds awesome, and I love that they do seasonal ones as well!
ReplyDeleteI have that tree oil shampoo and couldn't stand the smell. I knwo it's good to get the build up out but oh man the scent. It was way too over much. I so need to try that scrub!!
ReplyDeleteI have heard that their sunscreen is good!! I have a tea tree oil from them sitting on our bathroom counter. I will have to try some of these others out.
ReplyDeleteSometimes there is nothing better than iced coffee in the summertime! I don't make it to Trader Joe's very often, but I definitely want to try a few of these things out.
ReplyDeleteThe closest TJs to me is almost an hour away! I wish I had one closer. I love shopping there though, but don't get to go often. I'll have to check out the beauty de iron next time, that lavender scrub sounds amazing
ReplyDeleteI have used that antioxidant facial moisturizer and really like it. I need to checkout the body scrub too. I just love Trader Joe!

ReplyDeleteThat coconut body butter I bet feels WONDERFUL on the skin
We haven't been to TJ's in FOREVER! I used to go once a month and I told the kids we need to go one time before they go back to school. I really need to take a look at all of these beauty buys!

Those are awesome picks! I've tried a few of these things. I really like the shaving cream, the soap, and the tea tree tingle shampoo. TJ's has the best stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love their sunscreen! That Refresh show gel sounds amazing and I'm going to have to pick up the shave cream too!

I shop at TJs all the time but I've never given the beauty section a second look. Thanks for the heads up on these finds.

I buy and use the coconut butter, body wash, face lotion, and cleanser regularly! I love the tea tree scent, but my hair didn't love the formula. It was a little too stripping. I also love A Midsummer Night's Cream!
ReplyDeleteI never tried a tea tree shampoo, and I would like to! Also, the oatmeal exfoliant seems to be very good! I love body exfoliants, nice for the skin! Iced coffee... as I told you, I love iced tea, but I have to give this iced coffee a go one of these days!

I've never used any of these, but i love it
ReplyDeleteI'll be checking out the face products for sure. Thanks for this Elle. It's been burning up here, I think I'm so over Summer at this point.

I'm not sure if TJ is available here in Canada? Maybe in the larger cities but definitely not where I live.
ReplyDeleteShireen⎜Reflection of Sanity
I've been meaning to check out Trader Joe's, but nearest location is about 20 or 30 minutes away from my house. Not too far lol. These sound like amazing beauty products!
ReplyDeleteI wish there was a Trader Joes near me because I really want to try some of these!
ReplyDeleteThese all look like such great buys and such bargains! I went to Trader Joes when I was in LA and loved it, I wish we had it here in the UK! x
ReplyDeleteOh wow I wouldn't have thought of TJs for beauty buys! There is one somewhat near me, I need to go in there--I want to try the body butter and the sunscreen--I'm constantly running out of that!
ReplyDeletei WISH i could get facial moisturizer for $6. Argh!! I'm getting ripped off here!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that Trader Joe's had this much stuff! I have to try some of these out the next time I go there. Thanks for sharing!
