One of the most popular places to get "drugstore" cosmetics in Canada is Shoppers Drug Mart (SDM). SDM puts out a beauty magazine called Glow and recently Glow held its Annual Readers' Choice Beauty Survey to see what the most popular products were. Over 9,000 votes were cast - and here are the winners. Along with the readers' favourites are the "must-haves" in innovation, as chosen by the Glow editors.The best thing about this list is that most of these products are drugstore brands, which means the prices are much more affordable than other "Best of..." lists. Time to go shopping!

I've heard (or read - i can't remember) that Pantene is 1 of the best "drugstore/cheap" shampoos & conditioners you can pick up.
OH! Pantene was on sale this week for $3.99 Bought a bottle - we'll see how it goes.
Great list - Going to print it and pore through it... I'm almost out of .. something, I'm sure and this list will come in handy.
Thank you for posting it! I've been looking for Boots No7 Restore & Renew Beauty Serum for a while, but can't find it anywhere :(
I love Blistex Lip Medex! I used to use it religiously & it worked great to relieve my chapped lips! Such a great product!
Pantene's on sale? Gotta go grab some stock. Thanks for the lead Fabulously broke.
