Favorite Drugstore Beauty Products Under $20

We all love luxury splurges at high-end department stores such as Neiman Marcus (my fav). However, there is nothing compared to finding amazing beauty products at your local drugstore. We all have our “go to” when it comes to certain things. For example, my absolute “can’t live” without mascara is by Maybelline. I think I have tried almost every high-end mascara out there and nothing quite compares to my favorite at the drugstore. When my Chanel lipstick runs out and I’m in a rush, I’ll go for my second favorite and can usually find it while I’m shopping at Target or on Amazon.

Shopping beauty products at a drugstore is a great way to save money. We can all over spend on luxury products that are not always needed or don’t even live up to the brand name. Many drug store products are just as good or even better without the high price tag. 

After many years of testing and research for my own personal use. I came up with a list of products that are absolute winners in my book. 

Here are my top ten beauty favorites under $20. From foundation to lipstick. I consider these items must have essentials. Try them out, I think you will love them too! For your convenience the products are all linked to Amazon for easy shopping.

Introducing the Luxica skincare line…

Luxica Skincare was created in 2020 during the pandemic. I had always wanted to create a skincare line and finally had down time to make the dream come true! I was focused on creating a skincare line with natural ingredients woman could trust and feel good about using.

A bit a of history, my mother had a breast cancer diagnosis ten years prior. She thankfully got through it and is all well today! I remember she was always looking for a face moisturizer that was Paraben free and BPA free. She had a hard time finding one during that time and it always stuck with me. It was very important to me that this skincare line was to be made with the most natural ingredients.

Fast forward to 2020 after a ton of research and development I came up with the Luxica Skincare brand. Focusing on the highest quality ingredients, backed by science and nature. I created this skincare line for woman to indulge in with a “royal theme” for added fun. All of the packaging and product names reflect queens and a royal themes. Perfect for gift giving. Specializing in anti-aging and normal to combination skin types.

To shop Luxica skincare, check out the link below. My hope is that you will feel like a Queen with these luxurious products! Indulge at home in a spa-like experience, with high quality skincare you can trust and feel good about using. All products are non toxic and cruelty free. Proudly made in the USA.
