6 Drugstore Beauty Products That'll Save You Major $$

You’re welcome, wallet. - by Lucy Bode

6 Drugstore Beauty Products That'll Save You Major $$
Instagram

When most people are asked what brings them joy, they say puppies, Netflix, Taylor Swift’s new album or long, luxurious lie-ins on the weekends. For us, on the other-hand, it’s finding drug-store dupes of high-end beauty products we otherwise couldn’t afford to indulge in. Call us predictable or boring, but there's nothing like treating yourself without spending all your hard-earned savings.  

Below, we’ve rounded up 6 of our fave budget buys. 

Skip: La Mer Crème de la Mer Moisturising Cream 50ml, $250

la mer

Save: Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Strength 750ml, $12.99

vas

Swear by it: “Vaseline Intensive Care lotion is like a staple. The lotion is very thick and creamy. I apply it all over and let it absorb for a few minutes before getting dressed. It leaves my dry itchy winter skin feeling soft and hydrated. It’s great for hands too. I purchased a large pump bottle, and it’s lasting me for ages, which makes it excellent value for money. I’ll definitely repurchase this again.”

Skip: Nars Orgasm Blush, $48

nars

Save: NYX Professional Makeup Sweet Cheeks Creamy Powder Blush Glow Day Dream, $15.95

nyx

Swear by it: “ I love this blush and was very surprised with its colour and pigment, and performance! I have this one and a darker colour but I will be getting more! I definitely recommend!”

Skip: MAC Cosmetics Retro Matte Ruby Woo Lipstick, $30

mac

Save: RIMMEL LONDON Lasting Finish Extreme Lipstick Dat Red, $17.95

lip

Swear by it: “Glides on very easily. Slight chemical scent. Good amount of pigment. Wears well throughout the day without being drying. Great everyday lipsticks. Will repurchase.”

Skip: Lancome Bi-Facial Non-Oily Instant Eye Makeup Remover 125ml, $60

lancom

Save: Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micelle Solution 500ml, $29.99

bio

Swear by it: “The French do gentle skincare well and this is an example that has lasted the test of time, and just keeps popping up on lists for a reason. I love it. If I buy a cheaper brand, I always go back to this. I have eczema at times on my face and this doesn't flare it up at all.”

Skip: Augustinus Bader The Cream 50ml, $370

night

Save: Nivea Cellular Anti-Age Night Cream 50ml, $16.80

nivea

Swear by it: One of my faves! This product is the best to pop on after having a mini facial at home. I actually use it in the morning if my skin is a bit dry and needs a plump up. Not too greasy and a pot will usually last around 4 weeks - give or take. Would recommend to anyone who has mature skin that needs a rescue and a hit of hydration.”

Skip it: Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara, $39

too

Save: L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise, $25

loreal

Swear by it: “I love this mascara so much. I think I've gone through 4 of these. This lengthens and adds volume to my lashes.”
