Hot take: Expensive doesn't always mean better, especially when it comes to makeup. While I'm a sucker for luxurious packaging and designer labels, the truth is, you don't need to shell out tons of money for makeup that delivers. Case in point: I found a complete routine of thirteen affordable products—all rated 4.5 stars or above—at CVS. Thanks to their Epic Beauty Sale, each of these gems clocks in at less than $10. It blows my mind that you can build your whole makeup routine for the price of one luxury product. ICYWW, some of my personal faves are Maybelline Baby Lips, the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush, and Ardell Demi Wispies. I suggest you check out the finds below sooner rather than later—the sale ends on September 14, so they're definitely not staying in stock for long.
