Best Beauty Products At CVS – When people think of places to buy drugstore cosmetics, we assume that CVS isn’t the first store that comes to mind. Instead, it’s probably Target and Ulta, maybe even walgreen. But make no mistake—CVS has a great beauty section. Encompassing makeup, skincare, and haircare, CVS now brings some of the buzziest products on the market. It even offers internationally, stocking its shelves with unique under-the-radar K-beauty brands.

Best Beauty Products At CVS

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Clarifying Oil-Free Cleansing Towelettes

Well-known French pharmacy brand La Roche-Posay is one of our go-to’s regarding pharmacy skincare. CVS carries a variability of the brand’s products, though we’ve recently loved these cleansing towelettes. In the warmth of late summer, these are the flawless face wipes to pitch in our gym bag or office for when we want a little refresher.

Bliss Mint Chip Mania™

Regarding skincare, masks are at the highest of our list—exclusively when they mimic the look and feel of ice cream (mint chip, to be exact). This super-cooling whipped mask infuses good-for-skin components like aloe vera, which hydrates, calms, and soothes,  and shea butter, which leaves skin smooth and sustained. Plus, it’s 100%  selfless and free from parabens and other dangerous components. For an extra-cooling effect, pop the mask in the fridge before using.

Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water

In our opinion, getting rid of eye makeup is the most irritating part of our pre-bed ritual. Best Beauty Products At CVS Mascara and eyeliner (incredibly waterproof) stick to our lids and lashes, so we need an effective makeup remover like Garnier’s micellar water. It dissolves through tough-to-remove eye makeup effortlessly with no harsh rubbing.

OGX Bamboo Fiber Full Dry Shampoo

Here is the best dry shampoo for those with thin hair (in my humble opinion). My hair is so thin that it’s impossible to achieve body and bounce—unless I’m using this product. The brand uses actual bamboo fibers and soy proteins to absorb excess oil while reviving natural-looking volume. I’m completely and thoroughly in love.

Love Beauty and Planet Hope and Repair Shampoo

This buzzy beauty brand launched in 2017. It’s vegan, cruelty-free, and eco-conscious, which is hard to find at the pharmacy. While it offers a variety of products in different scents and preparations, we like coconut oil and ylang-ylang most OK since coconut oil repairs and hydrates dull, damaged hair (like ours).

Revlon PhotoReady Highlight Palette

Highlighter is easily one of our preferred makeup. Many inexpensive versions rival their high-end complements, like Revlon’s PhotoReady Highlight Palette. It houses four shimmery shades ranging from pearly beige to pinky bronze. Wear a piece shade alone or mix them for a DIY-coated effect.

Beauty 360 Citrus Lemon & Charcoal Sheet Mask

Get your skin ready for any time with this dual-powered sheet mask. The charcoal cleanses to eliminate dirt and dead skin, while the lemon brightens skin and firms up pores.

Beauty 360 Exfoliating Facial Scrub

Exfoliation is key. This scrub removes dead skin, dirt, and oil to leave your face feeling fresh and smooth. It offers grapefruit or lemon, so you’ll be left feeling fresh and ready for the day.

GSQ by GLAMSQUAD Titanium Styling Brush

The long-anticipated GSQ is here, and we are starting with this brush. A good meeting goes a long way; a lousy encounter can do much harm. This titanium brush temperatures up to 375 degrees to make curls and waves with such ease you’ll feel like you walked out of the ’80s.

Peach Slices Acne Patches

Now is your time if you haven’t heard of these acne patches. Stick one of the hydrocolloid patches on an active bump day or night (since they’re clear and can cover with makeup) and see it actively absorb breakout secretions. It sounds gross, but it is a genius product.

Peripera Blur Pang Primer

Foundation slippage, cracking, or fledging is no match for this primer. In its place, expect a velvety finish and moisture-rich skin because of their VITA Complex10, which contains Vitamin B5, B7, B9, C, E, A, B1, B2, B3, and B4 (not an exaggeration, really all of these vitamins).

Pixi Rose Oil Blend

As evidence, I’m excited about oils and serums coming to CVS. This rose oil blend uses hyperpigmentation, smoothness, and comprehensive skin rejuvenation. In addition, it’s light enough to be used AM and PM, so you’ll always have an extra glow.

Soko Ready Gold Lip Mask

This K-Beauty product favorite uses gold to hydrate and nourish lips. No need to wipe away extra products either. Just rub it in after use, and you are ready to go.

Sun Bum Face Stick Sunscreen 

How do people view sunscreen in general— is this a face stick from Sun Bum? It has 30 SPF to protect against UVA/UVB rays while also dousing your skin with Vitamin E. In addition, the stick form makes application and transportation (think spillage or flying restrictions) much more accessible. Plus, It doesn’t have the classic sunscreen smell but the natural aromas of aloe and cocoa butter.

Conclusion

If you can’t tell, I like CVS. They have invested considerable time in an excellent selection of skincare products. In addition, you can order from CVS through Ebates and get more cash back.
