Drugstore Beauty Products That Are Truly Worth the Hype — All Under $25

"Anyone who knows me understands I'm picky with my mascara (and if you don't know me, just trust that I'm a big snob), but the CoverGirl Exhibitionist Mascara ($8) never disappoints. Not only does the hourglass-shaped wand curve ever so slightly to hug every last lash, it also combs without clumping — making mine look bigger, bolder, and more fluttery with every swipe. Get this: Even after a full days-worth of wear, your lashes will look just as good as they did in the morning, with zero smudging or fallout. (No wonder it won a Power Your Pretty award.)"
