My first makeup experience — like many people's — was at the drugstore. In junior high, my mom drove me to CVS to pick out my first mascara (Maybelline Great Lash, naturally). A decade later, I still get excited about a beauty bargain — especially now that affordable makeup brands have upped the ante on color ranges, packaging, and formulations.
But even with all the new glam apps and in-store activations, there is one major setback of shopping at the drugstore: knowing what the hell to buy. Without samples to swipe or amateur makeup artists walking the aisles, the selection can be confusing and overwhelming. That's why I created a video dedicated to my current drugstore favorites in hopes of making shopping a little easier for someone else. Check it out above to see the products in action and be sure to share your favorite budget-friendly makeup products in the comments below.
