Drugstore Beauty Basics Bundle Review #1

I thought I would start a "series" of beauty product reviews I recommend and would be helpful to others who are looking for something similar. The five products down below are basic beauty products that can be found at any drugstore i.e. RiteAid, Walgreens, CVS, even Bed Bath and Beyond. Hope this is helpful :) Click images below for a larger view and check back next week to learn how to save more on many different products! *Everything was purchased by me.

Clean and Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets

PROS:
1. affordable

"Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask is a breakthrough acne-fighting formula that can be used two ways—as a daily cleanser or as a mask. This dermatologist-tested formula has the acne-fighting power of Benzoyl Peroxide to kill bacteria and treat existing breakouts. Cooling intensity builds as it penetrates deep into pores.
