With the global crisis still haunting on, many people have
lost their jobs, been furloughed, or are "watching the moneys," as us
Brits say. Whereas during the economic crash of 2008 we saw the lipstick index
in full swing (the theory that people treat themselves by spending money on
less expensive luxury goods, like designer lipstick), this crisis has hit
differently. 2021 is full of uncertainty and in the midst of it all, many of us
are looking for small, affordable ways to treat ourselves and spark joy. healthbeautystudio
Enter our most loyal friend, the drugstore. It helps that in
the last 12 years, drugstore beauty products have made leaps and bounds and can
now easily rival some of the more expensive products out there. But where to
start? The same place we find most of our inspiration: the 'gram. We asked some
of our favorite people to follow on Instagram for the drugstore products
they're currently shopping for, and now we have a new shopping list for our
next CVS run. From a $15 foundation to a $9 cleanser, keep scrolling for the
inside scoop on the best drugstore products out there.

The Beautiful, Black History Of Cornrows
Who: Thatiana Diaz, senior beauty writer at Refinery29
The drugstore pick: Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup
The praise: "Every time I wear this foundation, I'm met
with compliments of how glowy my skin looks. It lives up to its term in that it
makes my skin look and feel healthy even if, in reality, my skin is
experiencing breakouts or dried out from a night of too much wine."

Who: Chloé Burcham, freelance beauty editor and founder of
The Recénseré
The product: Rimmel Extra Super Lash Mascara
The praise: "I must have tried thousands of mascaras
over the years and yet it's this brilliantly budget, no-frills mascara that
still never fails to amaze me. It lengthens lashes, gives major volume, and a
fanned-out effect in just two coats. There's no gimmicky wand or fiber-packed
formula; just a bloody good mascara."

Who: Khoudia Diop, Model and Actress
The product: Iman Second to None Stick Foundation
The priase: "My favorite drugstore products are Iman
Stick Foundations, which I use as concealer, and Iman eyeshadow stick for a
quick glam when I’m in a rush and don’t have time to do a full face. I love
these because they are super affordable, the shades are really pretty and, most
importantly, they match my skin tone very well and blend perfectly!"

Who: Dana Oliver, beauty expert, editor and consultant
The product: SheaMoisture Manuka Honey & Yogurt Protein
Power Treatment
The praise: "My natural hair is really thick and can
become extremely dry if I'm not using products that help to restore moisture.
That's why this intensely hydrating hair treatment is a vital part of my hair
care routine; I simply apply it, put on a shower cap, and after 15 minutes
(sometimes I wear it for much longer), my tight coils are smoother and softer."
