Favorite Drugstore Beauty Products Under $20

We all love luxury splurges at high-end department stores. However, there is nothing compared to finding an amazing product at your local (IRL or digital) 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 beauty product under $20 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 for 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 drugstore 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 favorite drugstore beauty products 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 linked to Amazon for easy shopping.
