By Kristina Studio's video: Is drugstore makeup WORTH IT anymore First impressions

Are drugstore makeup products really worth it, or are we just paying for the idea of affordability? In this video, I’m testing new drugstore makeup and sharing my first impressions on the latest releases for 2025. From budget beauty products and affordable makeup finds to potential hidden gems, I’ll break down if these new higher drugstore prices are truly delivering quality. While these drugstore find are all makeup under $20, I'm curious to see if this closing gap between top affordable brands is similar to makeup from Sephora and high end makeup. Is it possible to get luxury results on a drugstore budget?
