Can't wait to go to the pharmacy? You're not alone. Ever since I realized that the store isn't just for cough drops and Clorox, I've found myself making excuses to browse its many aisles filled with lipsticks, blushes, mascaras, and more [1]. The drugstore is a mecca for beauty addicts, with its seemingly endless shelving of products of all shades, textures, and promises [2].
Considering investing in some primo lip stain? That's great . . . but you can get, like, five of them at CVS, Walgreens, or Target for the same price [3]. There's something inherently soothing about the fluorescent lighting, the soft-rock music, and aisles upon aisles of awesome finds. It's exhilarating and calming, all at once. Take a look to see the evolution of how I feel visiting that big, beautiful building.
