This Year’s Drugstore Beauty Options Leveled Up and Now I Want Everything

I’m usually a high-low lady, but 2020 is challenging my balanced beauty routine with some of the best drugstore beauty products I’ve seen in years. It’s not that I’ve ever been opposed to the budget-friendly stuff; there are just some products I can’t stop using and they just so happen to be sold in a department store or specialty spot. They’re the kind of the products I could never imagine parting with because I assume that no other brand could beat the formula and deliver the same results I expect to see. Well, less than three months into the new year, a handful of drugstore drops that I’ve had time to try have proven me wrong. Plus, I’d be remiss to not mention the products with packaging and promises so intriguing, I’m already planning to put in my “try this immediately” pile.

On the skincare front, it seems everyone has finally realized just how game-changing peptides can be to an anti-aging routine. Brands including No7 and Vichy spent time developing serums and ampoules that include peptides with other complementary ingredients to address all of the things we’re constantly trying to improve: brightness, firmness and moisture retention, to name a few. And then there is the resurgence of satin lipstick from NYX and e.l.f. Cosmetics to finally knock matte lipstick off its pedestal after an overstayed welcome (with plenty of flaking to show for it). Haircare is also getting more innovative than ever, whether it’s eco-conscious packaging, non-flaky pomades or pre-cleansing formulas for easier detangling.

If all that weren’t enough, more and more newbies and cult favorites are finally joining the ranks of big-box retailers like Target so we can shop everything we need more conveniently. Ahead is just a fraction of the best 2020 hair, skin and makeup launches, so stock up and get familiar now before the next wave arrives.
