18 of our favorite beauty products under $30 at Walmart

There’s maybe one thing better than stocking up on beauty products, and that’s stocking up on beauty products and not going broke, amiright? Even though throwing a lip balm into your Walmart cart can turn into throwing a new eyeshadow palette, foundation, BB cream, nail polish set, face moisturizer, mask, lipstick, eyebrow kit, and blush into your Walmart cart, it still feels good that you’re not blowing through your retirement Coachella fund.

While you’re at Walmart picking up some essentials, you DID know that the store has some of the best drugstore beauty products, right? Everything from your go-to skincare brands Neutrogena and Olay, to classiques L’Oreal and Maybelline, to all-natural products like Burt’s Bees and FOUND, you can find anything your cute little heart desires, and you don’t even have to feel bad about it. That’s right. I am personally absolving you of all beauty product shopping guilt! You are welcome!

In fact, don’t feel guilty, feel proud that you saved all this money and can now buy yourself a new flatscreen TV or iPhone X, because lady, you deserve it.

Without further ado, here are 18 beauty products that we are coveting right now, products that feel so luxe, we’re actually shocked they’re not more than what Walmart is asking for.

If you’re like me, then your face could use a little (SPF-protected) sunshine. But since that probably won’t be happening for a couple more months, this highlighting palette will have to do. Which is okay, because it’ll give you the prettiest, most natural glow powder can offer. Best of all? It’s 91% natural.

3 Olay Luminous Whip Face Moisturizer, $28.94
