I Gave Up Luxury Beauty Products for a Month. These Are the Drugstore Products I Loved

In the name of beauty, I ditched all my expensive products to find the drugstore ones that would make me swoon

It will surprise none of my friends when I say that I have expensive taste. My boyfriend is in awe of my ability to unknowingly gravitate to the most costly glasses of wine on the list. While my job doesn't pay for my $35 glasses of Chateaneuf-du-Pape, it does allow me access to all the spendy beauty products my heart desires. But if I were forced to actually pay for the luxurious products that I love, I'd be broke in two seconds -- much like 99 percent of the world.

To help me get back in touch -- I don't want to start raving about $800 incense burners and 24k gold dumbbells, a la GOOP, which is where this could be headed -- I went on a beauty diet to find the best beauty bargains that could live up to my expensive taste. After a month of testing (and a couple of cheat days -- I'm only human, cut me some slack), these are the drugstore beauty products I fell for.
