Drugstore staples that won’t break the bank
Like many others, my Hot Girl Summer quickly became a broke one. From brunches and traveling to buying $40 foundation (ugh and it didn’t even match) I know we’re all looking for ways to transition our Hot Girl Summer into a Frugal Girl Fall.
Just because you’re trying to pinch pennies, your makeup doesn’t have to reflect that. If spending money on high end makeup just isn’t in your budget, I got you! These drugstore basics will give you a bang for your buck without sacrificing a flawless beat.
