Remember the good old drugstore makeup days? I remember heading to Harmon’s every week to see what was see as brands like Maybelline, Wet n Wild, L’Oreal, Physicians Formula and others would have new seasonal collection every other day! It was such a great time in the world of makeup! Why did it ever stop? Now finding new drugstore makeup is like winning the lotto. First off, there’s not a lot of it. The releases are really far and between! And when something new does launch it INSTANTLY goes viral and proves impossible to find as it sells out fast at stores like Target and Walmart. And lastly, I hate the exclusive drops! For example, Maybelline will drop new stuff exclusively at Amazon before anywhere else. For some reason it just makes me rage! I have an Amazon Prime Membership but sometimes I just wanna see something in person before buying it.
Sigh. Times have changed that’s for sure but hey, at least there’s always something new in the world of drugstore beauty. Here’s a few drugstore makeup and beauty picks you might to look into!
Palmer’s Brazilian Coco Cream $13.99
It’s not exactly new but it is newish! Palmer’s now comes in Sol de Janeiro like packaging and I can’t say I hate that. I sort of dig this new packaging! And Coco Cream not only smells amazing but it’s super moisturizing!
E.L.F. Fine as Fleck Glitter Eyeshadow $6
I’ve seen these compared to Patrick Ta’s new formula and Urban Decay’s old fav, Moondust! Whichever one you’re thinking they dupe I can attest that they are very pretty and give eyes a pretty hint of shimmer! They work great when used with other powder shadows to add just that right touch of sparkle!
L’Oreal Lumi Le Glass and Glow Highlighter Stick $12.99
Influencers are already pimping these out as the newest “you’ll die if you don’t buy it” highlighter stick! I’m not so sure about that but highlighter fans might enjoy the fact these come in a twist up barrel for easy dab and blend application and a formula that has either a glow-y or glassy finish!
Maybelline Super Stay Teddy Tint Long Lasting Matte Lip Tint $13
I don’t want these nor do I need them but you might love these new plush blurring matte lip tints that act to stain lips for all day wear! Plus you can use them as a blush! I’m just not a matte girl so I’ll skip!
Essence Juicy Bomb Glossy Butter Balm $3.99
Are Essence Juicy Bomb Glossy Butters a dupe for MAC Squirt Gloss Sticks? We can hope so at $3.99 each! This colored lip balm formula melts onto your lips creating a glossy finish for smooth and plumped looking lips.
NYX Lip IV Hydrating Gloss Stain $12
Wet shine and a stain that lasts? I’m in! The new NYX Lip IV looks wildly shiny and after that shine wears off the color remains! Sign me up!
Softsoap Holiday 2024 Seasonal Hand Soap $2.49
I should NOT even be looking at hand soap as I’m so stocked up it’s obscene! Bath and Body Works you’re to blame! But hey, the cute little Softsoap seasonals are out and we got a Holiday Cookie and Festive Peppermint scented formula! I really shouldn’t….!
Dove Targeted Serum Multipurpose with Niacinamide and Collagen Peptide $19.99
Ok, Dove we see you! Dove has an entire selection of new body care that contains a ton of interesting peptides. This body serum is a target treatment they call “face care for the body” that contains skin smoothing and brightening niacinamide as well as collagen for hydration! It works on stretch marks, uneven skin tone, elasticity issues, and more!
L’Oreal Paradise Big Deal Volumizing and Lengthening Washable Mascara $15.99
We have a new Paradise Mascara and I don’t hate that (because I love the original formula). This one promises buildable volume and length with a clump-free formula no matter how much you layer and a lighter formula that smooths lashes.
