We have to admit something. We don’t love “best of” lists—especially for 2020. We’re all about looking forward and moving onto the next and this year is going to be better than the last (it has to be). Of course, when it comes to beauty, it’s exciting to see what products are coming down the pipeline, especially the more affordable ones. So, we rounded up the best new drugstore beauty products for 2021 so you can get excited, too. Some of these are going to be your new everyday favorites.

Now, most of these aren’t out until January so if you can’t wait, you can still purchase a similar product below each. There’s something for everyone, too, including new curl-enhancing goodies, damage-repairing shampoo and conditioner, long-wearing eyeliner and peptide-infused serum. Most items are even priced at less than $10! You truly can’t beat that.

Read all about our favorites and stock up at the same time.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.
