" My transformation to becoming a suburbanite is complete: I am officially a member of Costco. But here&amp;#x27;s what&amp;#x27;s even crazier than me (the until-recently Brooklyn resident who hadn&amp;#x27;t driven a car in a decade and shopped at a hippie food co-op) unloading my 800-roll crate of toilet paper into my giant SUV: I actually buy beauty products at Costco. Yes, that&amp;#x27;s right. Even though I get amazing high-end skincare products sent to me for free on a regular basis because of my job as a beauty writer, I am such a diehard fan of two particular products that I shell out my hard-earned cash to make sure I never run out. Want to know what these two products are? 1. Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer SPF 15 I&amp;#x27;ve said it many times before on this blog and I&amp;#x27;ll say it again: This is just the best daily moisturizer. I switch it up and sample other moisturizers regularly but always love the day when I return to this one--and my skin does too. The sunscreen never stings, the consistency is just right and absorbs perfectly, the pump always works (some of the pumps on pricier skin products are SO annoying and just suck up air!), and it has antioxidants and other ingredients to help even my skintone, PLUS little particles that make me instantly glowy. At Costco the other day I got two 4-ounce bottles for $17--half off what I&amp;#x27;d pay at the drugstore. Score! 2. Amlactin Alpha Hydroxy Therapy Moisturizing Lotion The dermatologists I interview always push this stuff; it exfoliates AND ultra-hydrates. I&amp;#x27;ve used it for years whenever my skin gets to a bad place of itchiniess and/or flakiness--or when I&amp;#x27;m prepping to show some skin in a nice dress or bathing suit and want to look extra smooth. It&amp;#x27;s also a fantastic foot and hand moisturizer, especially in the winter, when you want to prevent/heal major dryness and mild cracking (but be aware--it does sting if you apply it to cracked skin, thanks to its lactic acid content). The only annoying thing is that the drugstore-size bottles of this run out fast and cost a lot for something I go through gallons of. So imagine my delight when I found a two-pack of huuuge bottles at Costco! I don&amp;#x27;t remember the price but it was roughly what I&amp;#x27;d pay for one small bottle at CVS. Amazing. Are there any beauty products YOU buy in bulk? Tell me below (maybe I&amp;#x27;ll add them to my Costco shopping list)! Photo: Mark Leibowitz"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
