As beauty editors, we come across dozens of new beauty products daily — (don't hate us, we know we have it good.) While we do get exposed to some of the most luxurious, over-the-top expensive products on the market, there are just as many beauty products out there that totally rock our world and don't break the bank. These days, drugstore makeup brands are keeping neck and neck with the more expensive guys in terms of quality and staying on-trend.
Once you overlook the temporary pain, at-home waxing is mighty tempting. Besides saving money on countless hair removal products and salon waxing treatments, swapping a salon treatment for, say, a Brazilian wax at home means you can look forward to being stubble-free for weeks — minus the razor burn. However, at-home waxing — especially if it in involves a DIY Brazilian wax — takes more than a simple disposable razor.
For anyone with fine or thin hair, the phrase "best hair oil" probably sounds like an oxymoron. We may stock up on dry shampoos to combat greasy roots, but the addition of oil can be an asset to your hair-styling routine. With ingredients like vitamins A, B and E, hair oils are like superfoods for your hair, making hair look healthier immediately while protecting it from future damage caused by the environment and heat and styling tools.
Remembering to apply sunscreen daily makes you feel pretty darn good about your skin-care routine -- and general adultness level. If you're applying SPF every day (or close to it), we suspect you also regularly contribute to your 401K and eat vegetables with most meals.
Whether you're battling blemishes, clogged pores, dullness or a frustrating combination of all three, there's a face mask for that. Better yet, some of the best and buzziest masks can be found in the sparkling aisles of your favorite drugstore. Potently packed with skin-loving ingredients and available for under $25, we've rounded up the holy-grail drugstore masks that will boost your squad's complexions with a one-two punch of TLC and Instagram-worthy radiance. Cheers!
