Let's talk about some of the new beauty launches and brands available at the drugstore this month!

What’s New at the Drugstore January 2020

in Beauty News, Drugstore Makeup on 01/20/20

Hi friends!

Get ready for a bumper post today gals & guys. We’re going to chat all things new and exciting in drugstore beauty this month! I’ve compiled a great list of new bits from all your staple faves like Maybelline and Revlon, but there are also new brands like GSQ by Glamsquad and Unicorn Glow that have recently popped up. Now, I didn’t include every single new launch that’s currently out there – that would have been a bit insane to keep track of! These are just the releases that specifically caught my eye. If there are any that I didn’t include but that you’re excited about, please feel free to let us know in the comments below!

If drugstore beauty is your pride and joy, and you want to know what some of my product recommendations are, then you must check out the series I did last November. Everything is linked below!

    Yasss!! Drugstore, my fave! 💖
    Totally looking at buying that vegan foundation from Covergirl, i need to look into it soon lol. I would definitely be interested in the cream blush and the lip oil as well.
    I’ll be looking into GSQ as well, though I’m disappointed because we dont have CVS. We have Walgreens, but have never seen the products people tell me are at CVS there lol.
    Lots of mascaras are coming out, that’s interesting.
    😬 was looking at the milani lip liners but that price haha NYX has suede matte lip liners which are super creamy and half the price.
    To be honest, idk how to feel about Unicorn Glow lol. I don’t care about the packaging but they’re CF and I just quickly looked at their insta and have my eye on their foundation. Will look more into their brand before I write them off lol.
    Thanks for sharing this extensive look at new drugstore products! I’m very excited about a few 🤗🤗

      Glad you liked the post! Drugstore beauty has my heart big time! I’m very intrigued by the vegan CoverGirl products too. Oh wow, you don’t have any CVS stores near you? It’s one of my fave places to shop for beauty. I think you can still shop the GSQ range online. Yea, Milani is definitely on the higher end of drugstore but I find their products are usually so good! Honestly I saw some of the Unicorn Glow products in-person. Was kinda tempted to pick up one thing, but it reminded me of kids makeup! The quality may be amazing, and I hope it is, but it’s very dinky-looking. Not sure 🤔.

    Covergirl Clean Fresh Vegan line?? Nice!! Definitely interested in reading some reviews on those products especially the tinted lip oil. GSQ looks like a brand I wouldn’t mind trying & Unicorn Glow has caught my eye, too. I have an unopened primer by them I got from Ipsy, I didn’t know they were drugstore– but I’m looking forward to trying it.

Currently cocooning my tired winter skin in the gl Currently cocooning my tired winter skin in the gloriousness of these creams. I’ve had @glowrecipe Plum Plump Hyaluronic Cream (#gifted), @clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, and @drunkelephant Lala Retro Whipped Cream (#gifted) on repeat rotation over the last several weeks. 

I love using the Glow Recipe during the day, before makeup, since it has a lovely lightweight gel-cream texture that sits beautifully on the skin. I alternate the Clinique & Drunk Elephant at nighttime; the Clinique formula is occlusive and helps to lock in moisture as the last step in your routine (for dry/very dry skin); the Drunk Elephant is gorgeously rich and thicker so I prefer sleeping in it. If you’re curious to hear more, check out my last post (link in bio). 

What are you using on your skin this winter?
