Well 2020 has certainly been a year like no other! As 2021 approaches I wanted to take the time to create a blog post about my favorite drug store beauty products. All of these products are under twenty dollars! With in person parties on hold, affordable drug store products are perfect for all your zoom needs! So sit back, grab a cocktail, and get ready to learn all about beauty products that are affordable and perfect for that at home selfie!
Let’s start with my suggestions on the best places to buy affordable beauty products. Walmart is my ultimate go to for low prices and fast shipping. CVS has the best in person browsing beauty section. CVS has a ton of beauty brands and it is very well organized. Target also has a great beauty section with a lot of brands and low prices. Amazon would be my last choice when it comes to affordable beauty products. Amazon tends to over charge for the convenience of getting the product fast, so beware!
I will be reviewing my top ten drug store products of 2020. I have tried each of these beauty products and each product is now part of my daily or weekly beauty routine. Each beauty product is under twenty dollars and should be available at a drug store near you! I will try and provide the cheapest price for each item with a link to shop below!

I hope you enjoyed reading my 2020 drug store beauty product favorites blog post! 2020 has been a rough year! Please be kind to yourself and stay safe! I want to say very a big thank you to all the first responders dealing with this awful pandemic on a daily basis. We truly owe it to the doctors and nurses to wear a mask and make safe choices. I know that in a few months we will back to date nights, dinners out, hanging with friends and hopefully hugs. We just have to stay healthy, be safe, and get vaccinated. Until that day comes try and get dressed up and do your make up for a zoom party, or for a good old social media selfie. Cheers to a happy and healthy 2021!
