From effective, anti-aging skincare treatments to teeth whitening strips (that get those pearly whites dazzlingly bright) and long-lasting makeup products (which look great from day-to-night), featured in this must-read list are 5 Fabulous Drugstore Beauty Products that will get you looking gorgeous, without requiring you to invest a fortune.
Drugstore Beauty Products
Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Nail Polish ($14.99): If you’ve ever gone to a nail salon to have a Shellac treatment, you realize how expensive and time-consuming this process can be. But, the benefits of having a virtually chip-proof, glossy manicure (that lasts for up to 2 weeks!) is often why women invest in this type of manicure. Unfortunately, the downside is that it requires you to go to the nail salon to remove the nail polish, as they need to soak your nails in Acetone. Fortunately, Sally Hansen developed a revolutionary, at-home gel nail polish system that significantly costs less and doesn’t require the use of a UV lamp. The long-wearing, chip-proof, high-shine gel nail polish system is a simple 2-step process. First, paint your nails with the 2-in-1 base-coat and color. Second, apply the natural-light activated top coat. In less than 10 minutes, your nails will dry to a perfect, high-gloss finish that lasts for up to 2 weeks. And, you can just as easily take-off the polish with your usual nail polish remover. For these reasons and more, this easy-to-use nail polish system is one of the must-have drugstore beauty products of the season.
CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Mascara ($8.79): If you’re a woman who loves the look of thick, voluminous eyelashes, then this is the mascara for you! This long-lasting, volumizing mascara instantly plumps up your lashes with a few swipes. It never flakes and lasts all day, giving you the lush lashes that you desire. Throw away those false eyelash strips because this amazing drugstore beauty product will give you the eyelashes you’ve always dreamed of.
Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner ($4.79): When you’re a busy woman who’s always on-the-go, the last thing you have time to think about is if your lip color is still on. That’s why the Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner is one of the best drugstore beauty products you can buy. This lip liner comes in a range of flattering shades, has an easy to apply contoured tip, and provides opaque, rich color that lasts for hours. You can easily use this lip liner all over your lips and simply apply a clear lip balm or gloss on top, or use it with your favorite lipstick to act as a base coat. Pucker up, ladies. This is one of the most fabulous drugstore beauty products you could ever try!
Crest 3D White Luxe Whitestrips Glamorous White – Teeth Whitening Kit ($42.99): A gorgeous, pearly white smile stops people in their tracks. Whitening your teeth is one of the fastest ways to instantly brighten your face and make you look years younger. That’s why an at-home teeth whitening kit is one of the best drugstore beauty products you can get. The Crest 3D White Luxe Whitestrips use the same enamel-safe teeth whitening ingredient that dentists do, reaching below the enamel surface to remove teeth stains. Their no slip grip means the strips stay put until you take them off, allowing you to talk and even drink water while whitening your teeth. Using them just once a day for 30 minutes elevates your whiter smile to the next level.
RoC Deep Wrinkle Serum ($24.99): Frequently touted by magazine editors and beauty bloggers as one of the best (affordable) anti-wrinkle skincare treatments on the market, the RoC Deep Wrinkle Serum is an effective anti-aging product that truly works miracles on your skin. Roc Deep Wrinkle Serum stimulates cell renewal and is proven to firm skin and to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. When used regularly (over the course of several weeks), you’ll notice that fine lines and wrinkles begin to diminish, resulting in smoother texture, lightened sunspots and hyper-pigmentation, and a more youthful appearance. Since this product contains Retinol, it’s advisable to only use it at night. And because Retinol increases sun sensitivity, definitely use an SPF sunscreen daily and do your best to minimize sun exposure.

Joanna says:
Hi, thank you for this useful post. I’m always amazed how great products can be found in drugstores! I’m definitely going to try the nail polish and the teeth whitening set. I’ve been thinking about getting one for quite a long time, but couldn’t decide which one to buy. Have you tested it? I’m a little bit worried that I can, for example, hold it on my teeth for too long and that it can cause a damage. What do you think?
Besides, I’ve actually written an article on the very same topic, but featured different products. In case you were interested, here is the link:

Hi Joanna, thanks for your comment. Yes, I’ve used Crest teeth whitening products. They’re very effective and easy to use. If at any point, your teeth or gums feel sensitive, cut back use to every other day or a few times per week. Hope this helps!
