Sure, stylists have access to the best of the best when it comes to hair products and tools. And yes, often times that means their kits are loaded with luxurious (AKA pricey) goodies. But that doesn't mean they don't love a good drugstore deal as much as the rest of us. Since they're not limited by budget, you can feel confident knowing that any cheapies they are using have to be good. We asked top hairstylists to share the bargain buys they can't get enough of. Check out their nine drugstore hair product picks here—with prices like these, we say go ahead and buy them all.
Whether your skin care routine is as simple as can be or consists of a complicated 12-step process, there's likely one non-negotiable: moisturizer. Not only does dry skin look less than pretty, it also doesn't feel good, making the right face cream a universal essential. And while it's meant to moisturize, why not choose a product that's going to give you even more bang for your buck? Happily, the latest crop of creams feature all kinds of innovative ingredients, technologies and formulas to go above and beyond their intended call of duty. Here, nine of the coolest new multi-tasking moisturizers out there.
Let this act as a PSA: If you've never heard of Catrice, it's time to familiarize yourself with the brand. It's a European brand that's relatively new to the States and it is absolutely crushing the budget beauty game. With prices competitively low enough to go head-to-head with your cheapest drugstore makeup faves and quality that's just as good (and in some cases, better) than many higher-end picks, you pretty much can't go wrong.
There's always a good reason to spend less (especially if you're Uber-ing twice as much because of the cold), which is why we love Ulta, a more budget-friendly alternative to Sephora. The beauty megastore's selection is trend-driven without sacrificing quality and the products are always a good reflection of need-to-know finds. With that in mind, we asked the brand to share which products are flying off the (virtual) shelves right now. Here's a look at the site's standouts.
There's a fine line between wearing glitter in a cool way and looking like a clown. One wrong turn and you can look more flashy than romantic. To be honest, we shunned glitter and categorized it as a look only for teens but when Pat McGrath's glitter lip kit hit the scene a few years ago, we had an instant change of heart. Soon after, we saw glitter popping up on runways all over the world and the verdict was clear: glitter was no longer just for kids. We wanted in instantly.
