10 Drugstore Makeup Pieces That Will Give Sephora A Run For Their Money

Once you realize there are drugstore products with the same miracle results as well known name-brand products, that is truly when the second part of your life truly begins. These 10 make-up products will help you from falling into the luring hands of Sephora. Imagine being able to not do the walk of shame as you leave with a tiny black and white striped bag with three products worth over half your check. It’s the free samples that really get you but imagine all the extra products you can buy when you’re balling out at CVS. I’m talking all the sour patch watermelons you could ever dream of.

1. Facial Serum Primer

To create a flawless look you’ll need a smooth canvas and the Aveeno MaxGlow Primer will get you just that. This two-in-one product will illuminate and prime your skin all in one swoop. For just $24 you can get two products for the price of one! A steal if I ever saw one.
