Why it's great: This trio of hypoallergenic liners is a "must-have bargain," according to readers. They have a "nice, creamy texture," "go on smoothly" and "stay put." Reviewers also love that the colors are highly pigmented, and can be worn together or separate.
Why it's great: Is any best drugstore makeup and beauty list complete without a CeraVe product? No, according to TotalBeauty.com readers.

Others agree, saying it "makes the skin feel clean but not tight" and "leaves [their] skin looking young and fresh." It comes "highly recommended."
Why it's great: This low-cost drugstore find is a secret weapon against frizz for all hair types, from thick and curly to delicate and fine. One reviewer noticed that her hair "breaks less frequently" when she uses this product. Another reviewer reports that her hair is "so shiny and so manageable" thanks to this product. It also makes her hair silky, despite the fact that she styles it with heat nearly every day.
Why it's great: Reviewers with oily skin gave this drugstore makeup top ratings for its "silky texture" and for the way it sets foundation "beautifully." "It literally makes my foundation and my skin look airbrushed and dewy," says one reviewer. "It is the best makeup I've ever used in my life," another gushes. "When I run out of this product I will definitely be getting more." The added SPF protection is just the icing on the cake.
Why it's great: This gloss is true to its name. "Buttery and smooth" is how readers describe the application. They say it has a "beautiful" color that "does not feel clumpy or caked," even "after a few hours." Some say they layer it over lipstick to create the illusion of "fuller" lips. This drugstore lip product wins over even those who stay away from glosses.
