Ringing in the New Year also means ringing in new innovations in the skin [1], hair [2], and makeup [3] categories. Formulas have been amped up for longer-lasting, more visible results, while textures have been refined and transformed to create a more pleasant experience. Better yet, you can pick them up at your local Walgreens or CVS — without breaking the bank.
Below are our picks for the best drugstore products coming in 2019. Are you ready?
Revlon PhotoReady Rose Glow Hydrating and Illuminating Primer
Revlon PhotoReady Rose Glow Hydrating and Illuminating Primer ($14) is a rose-scented liquid that transforms skin into a silky smooth canvas that has a slight shimmer.
John Frieda Wonder Drops
John Frieda Wonder Drops Hair Masks ($4) restores hair's resilience and moisture with just one shower sesh. It will be available in four treatment options (Frizz Smoothing, Blonde Brightening, Damage Repairing and Vibrancy Enhancing).
Pantene Intense Rescue Shots
If you're a beach-goer, [4] you're going to love Pantene Intense Rescue Shots ($2 to $6). They the go-to for hairstylist, João Bosco, to restore sea-salt damaged hair.
Rimmel London Wonder Swipe 2-in-1 Liner to Shadow
Whether you want a glittering liner look or a shimmering shadow you can see from space — you can achieve it just a few swipes and dabs of the Rimmel London Wonder Swipe 2-in-1 Liner to Shadow ($8)
Love Beauty and Planet Bath Bomb
Love Beauty and Planet Bath Bomb ($5 to $6) uses ultra-moisturising oils (like coconut and argan) for a relaxing, skin softening bath experience. The brand will release the bombs with four different scents (paired with a key ingredient): Argan Oil and Lavender, Turmeric and Tonka Essence, Murumuru Butter and Rose, Coconut Water and Mimosa Flower.
Nexxus Scalp Scrub
Massage Nexxus Scalp Scrub ($15) is infused with elastin to condition while it sloughs off the dead skin and product sitting on your scalp.
Revlon PhotoReady Candid Natural Finish Anti-Pollution Foundation
Revlon PhotoReady Candid Natural Finish Anti-Pollution Foundation ($11) completely covers up blemishes (zero concealer necessary here) but still somehow has a skin-like, lightweight finish.
L’Oréal Paris Unlimited Mascara
L'Oréal Paris Unlimited Mascara ($13) does it all. It lengthens, volumizes, and lifts lashes (giving even our assistant editor, Jesa Calaor, whose wispy lashes point downward).
Dove Go Fresh Deodorant Wipes
Dove Go Fresh Deodorant Wipes ($3 to $6) are pre-moistened wipes that keep odors at bay for the entire day without ever leaving white marks on your clothing. Now that's innovative.
L’Oréal Paris Pure-Sugar Scrub: Resurface & Energize Kona Coffee Scrub
L'Oréal Paris Pure-Sugar Scrub: Resurface and Energize Kona Coffee Scrub ($13) looks like semi-diluted coffee grounds, and sweeps away dead skin and brightens up complexion in just one use. The brown goop is super gentle (as long as you're also gentle as you massage it into your cheeks).
Suave Curl Defining Cream
Suave Curl Defining Cream ($4) gives curls and waves a zing when they're falling a little flat. It leaves them with shine, moisture, and returns their resilience.
Tresemme Anti-Frizz Sheets
Tresemme Anti-Frizz Sheets ($5) use a blend of oils (including coconut, argan, and avocado) and Vitamin E to bring down frizz and add shine. Our senior beauty editor, Kelsey Castañon, swears by them for her fine hair to help with static-induced flyaways.
