I've already sung the praises of NYC cosmetics, so I'll refrain from repeating myself...just go check them out. I don't think any of their products are above $3.
Moisturizer / Body lotion: CVS (storebrand) baby lotion. Asborbs quickly, leaves no greasy residue and smells lovely. About $2.
Bath powder: CVS (storebrand) cornstarch baby powder - the Lavender & Chamomile scented one. I LOVE lavender, and this is healthier (and cheaper!) than talc-based dusting powders. About $3, often on sale though.
I also use the Coty Airspun and Dream Matte mousse foundation (I apply mine with a brush - I get smoother, more even coverage). I also have to agree
about the Palmer's Cocoa Butter stick; it works great as lip balm and to soothe dry spots.
Pretty much everything I use is either drugstore / dollar store brand or something I make myself. My frizz serum works awesome; I do it by eye, so I have no exact measurements. I just mix together 3 parts glycerin ($3 at the drugstore) and 1 part vitamin E oil ($4) in a big squeeze bottle, add a squirt of my baby lotion to it (to cut the thickness and add a bit of fragrance), and shake before using. Makes my hair glossy, soft, and less prone to looking like I stuck my finger in a light socket. lol
