24 Walmart Beauty Products That Have No Right To Work So Well For Such A Low Price
Walmart
Promising reviews: "I have been cycling through foundations from both high end and drug stores for months. I wasn't happy with my Clinique Even Better Clinical anymore and after way more money than I'd like to admit spent, my search has ended with this “skin tint” it wears medium to full coverage and has been everything I have been looking for!! Best value and quality I have found!!! Super happy with this and highly recommend to anyone!!" —Lauren
"Literally the BEST Foundation in the market. I have tried endless foundations from Dior to Elf, and this is the best foundation ever! It does not settle in fine lines, it covers beautifully. It doesn't cake, or move! Has such a BEAUTIFUL finish on the skin! It last without retouching for more than 10 hrs. I'm literally in awe how good this is." —Tuti

Promising reviews: "This is different from most mousse products but works great! I was surprised how it worked on my hair! My hair is natural curly and this helps with frizz especially on raining days! Instead of spritzing my hair with water I use this and it's last longer and keeps frizz and dry hair at bay!" —Sharon
"I had never even heard of this brand but Im a stickler for anything pineapple scented--so thats why I tried it. I was a bit skeptical when I realized it was a foam but this stuff works. My hair has zero frizz when I use this, and I live in Alabama. Ive gotten so many compliments about my curls with this product. This is going to be added to my curl routine." —Emily

I have super-sensitive, temperamental skin, so using a maximum strength Benzoyl Peroxide as an all-over face wash would just not work for me. HOWEVER, after tapping through some stories and scrolling through some reviews, I discovered that many of those who suffer from bad breakouts, like myself, were using it as a spot treatment. And hey! I gotta say these folks were onto something. I gave this a whirl for a couple of months — used it in conjunction with a mild, all-over facial cleanser — and strictly dotted this on painful, under-the-skin pimples post-cleanse. After applying it each night and allowing it to sit on my skin for no more than two minutes, I noticed a significant decrease in the size of these boulder-like breakouts come the next morning. (If I saw any irritation or dryness, I'd skip a night.) Now, I use this to help clear my skin anytime I feel one of those bullies trying to punch their way through — and, TBH, it really helps to keep things under control!
(Just don't forget to thoroughly moisturize after each use!)
Promising review: "I have always had super sensitive skin that used to stay broken out, but I've used this face wash for years now and I absolutely swear by it…I tell everyone I know just so that they'll keep making and selling it! And if you do still get a pimple, sleep in one of this brand's pimple patches and it's pretty much gone by morning!" —TexasSarah

Promising review: "This is my favorite drugstore mascara. It's buildable, gives a lot of length like it says, and separates lashes beautifully. I wouldn't say it's a one coat mascara if you want more dramatic lashes, and it doesn't provide a lot of volume either but two coats of this and your lashes look amazing!" —Michelle
Price: $8.32+ (originally $9.98+; available in 13 shades)
Walmart
Promising review: "I've been using Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Face Moisturizer for a few weeks, and I'm really happy with the results. The gel formula is lightweight and absorbs quickly into my skin, leaving it feeling hydrated without any greasiness. It provides a smooth, dewy finish that lasts throughout the day, and I've noticed my skin looks plumper and more radiant. The addition of hyaluronic acid seems to really help lock in moisture, and I appreciate that it doesn't clog my pores. It's gentle enough for my sensitive skin, and I love that it has no strong fragrance. Overall, this is a great moisturizer for anyone looking for long-lasting hydration without the heaviness." —Walmart Customer
Price: $13.97 (originally $19.97)

Promising review: "These things are great for styling my fringe and just for adding some volume to my hair. The Velcro is strong enough to hold your hair in place but soft enough not to rip it all out when trying to remove it. I'm glad I took a chance on these because they're total life savers when my hair is flat and needs life." —Alyssa
Price: $8.74
Walmart
Promising reviews: "Must have — I use this every day as my base. For days I don't wear 'make up' I just put this on and that is it. It gives a nice glow, looks very natural but covers imperfections. For days where I put foundation on, I put the foundation after I put this on. I get so many compliments on my skin. This product is a game changer." —Morgan

Promising review: "This product goes on smoothly and wears the entire day. It blends in with my natural eyebrows and is my go to makeup. Especially for days when I wear little makeup. It gives my eyebrows fullness and a lift, which I need at almost 53 years of age. Definitely recommend and the price is an additional bonus." —Carol
Price: $3 (available in four shades)

Our Deputy Editorial Director Maitland Quitmeyer has used this and told us: "Along with everyone else who watches TikTok, I got very into CeraVe products this year — and I loved this night cream as soon as I started using it. It's plumping, softening, and hydrating — without any greasiness or overpowering fragrances. But it wasn't until I had an allergic reaction to a *different* cream that I truly understood how great this (budget-friendly!) one is — it brought my skin back to normal in just a week."
Promising review: "I have very dry skin, and this lotion feels like it forms a barrier and stays moisturizing all night! It's been a game changer for my skin! It's so reasonable!" —Lori

Promising review: "This is really nice. I got Cocoa Rose, which is a lovely nude that doesn't lean too warm for me. It's so pretty. It feels good on the lips, doesn't smell/taste weird, or wear off too fast. Plus, it's cheap. What more could a person ask for?" —Walmart Customer

Promising review: "I use this as a mask and a leave-in conditioner. On wash day I part my hair and apply it to my roots and scalp over my whole head. Then I apply it thickly to the rest of my hair, cover it with a shower cap then bonnett and go about my day. When i wash it out it comes out easily and leaves my hair and scalp feeling amazing. After i wash it i apply it sparingly to my mids to tips while my hair is still damp. Works to detangle and leaves my hair feeling silky and smooth and strong. Has an AMAZING scent. I love the smell of it and it stays strong even between washes." —Kimberly

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. To use, apply your makeup, shake the bottle to combine the ingredients and then mist it over your face. It's such a fine mist, it's perfect. Even in the Texas heat my makeup stays put." —Lauren

Promising review: "This thing works! I noticed almost immediate results after the first use. By day 2, my flakes were 99% gone. And I'm not sure if it's the shampoo, but since I started using it, I have noticed my hair has more volume and my curls seem bouncier. I would totally recommend this product!" —LaChina9

I put it on first thing in the morning and in about 5–10 minutes you can actually FEEL it firming up your skin. It’s a good price for a good product." —HiHoSteveO

Walmart
Promising review: "Have been using this for a month now, and my skin looks and feels so good. I had some areas on my face that were starting to look like I was getting older but now after four weeks, my friends are telling me that I look younger. I use this with neutrogena blue hydroboost because I feel like I need that extra moisture." —Chris
Price: $19.97

Promising review: "The product is compact enough to fit into a small handbag. It's an all in one palette, Yuka app rated this as an excellent makeup (all natural/ organic ingredients). A bronzer, blush and all over mineral / dewy face powder. Doesn't settle into wrinkles. Amazing coverage, perfect amount of, affordable price for clean beauty. Great for sensitive skin, washes off easily. Magnetic closure is nicely done." —Krista
