5 Hacks for Scoring the Best Beauty Products at Walmart

Breeze in and out with your best haul ever.

Walmart has undergone some pretty major upgrades recently—think: locally grown produce, helpful customer hosts, free two-day shipping (more on that below), and seamless in-store pick-up, just to name a few.

And when it comes to beauty, it can truly be your one-stop shop. The retailer isn’t just for steals—though there are tons of them—they also have some pretty cool prestige beauty brands (we’re talking Nars, Guerlain, Marc Jacobs fragrance…), plus on-trend, beauty-editor approved K-beauty products from Innisfree, Sulwhasoo, Tony Moly, Cosrx, and more. If you know how to navigate these (often huge) stores, you can score serious deals, find products you’d never expect, and get beauty advice you can’t find anywhere else.

Wanna shop like a pro during your next visit? Here are five hacks to incorporate into your browsing routine ASAP.

1. Download the App

You need the Walmart app. It has Walmart Pay (a PIN-code linked to your credit, debit, or gift card), which easily allows you to reorder staples like soap, toothpaste, and even mascara. It also allows you to coordinate in-store pick-ups, create lists of your essentials, and so much more.

2. Go for the in-House Brand

Stock up on staples and save some extra cash by trying out Walmart’s own Equate Beauty line. The chicly packaged products save you money but don’t skimp on quality. You see, the best thing about “generic” beauty brands like this is that they can replicate some of your favorite products…often for half the cost. You can shop everything from body lotion to oil-free makeup remover, priced mostly under $10.

3. Shop Online and Skip the Line

Consider the app and website your personal shopping concierge. Want what you ordered right now? No problem. (Hey, beauty emergencies happen!) Just place your order on the app and you’ll get a message as soon as it’s ready for pick-up at a location near you. Then, simply dash in, grab your loot, and go.

Can you wait a few days? If you order over $35 worth of merchandise, you’ll get free two-day shipping on an insane amount of eligible items.

4. Go Super Early

Walmart traditionally restocks their shelves overnight, which means the early bird truly does get the worm. Head in any time before 9am for the best finds, but note: Pro shoppers recommend showing up as early as 5am if you’re about that life! Check your local stores hours online, but many locations are open 24/7.

5. Read Your “Weekly Ad” Online

It’s like a newsletter-meets-coupon-circular. Search by your zip code to find your nearest location to get started. Don’t sleep on their “Ideas” section, which contains a mix of lifestyle and wellness content, makeup tips, and gift guides.

A Few of Our Favorites from the Walmart Beauty Aisles

This Is The Easiest Way To Get Glowing Skin

Who doesn’t want to get that glow? It’s basically the definition of having healthy skin. The thing is, it can be difficult to achieve with skincare alone, and it can be tricky to find the right balance between glowy, not shiny, with makeup. Highlighters are great, but if you want to look like you’ve just spent three weeks in the Maldives with an all-over-glow, you need to go further than the standard pressed highlighter on your cheekbones.

I recently came across the ultimate glow game-changer, and it’s really coming through for us. The L’Oréal  Shimmerista Highlighting Powder, $15, my new best friend. The formula comes in two blinding finishes: Moonlight and Sunlight. Moonlight is a stunning iridescent formula that’s great for fair to light complexions while Sunlight works beautifully for light to deep complexions.

But I’m not using this highlighter how the product page tells us to. Instead of using this like any other highlighter and applying it to the tops of our cheekbones and the high points of our face, I decided to do something different with this very finely milled shimmering powder!

By taking a tiny amount and combining it with a little loose setting powder in my setting powder lid, I’ve basically made the ultimate glow-giving setting powder. But seriously guys, this highlighting powder is so lit that a little goes a very long way, so the ratio should be two parts setting powder to one part Shimmerista highlighter! Dust your new formula across your face to set your foundation as you usually would, and be prepared for the glow-up! I’ve been doing this highlighter hack for weeks and have been getting compliments left, right and center!! It adds a subtle luminosity all-over, one that’s more popping than you’ll get with any ‘illuminating’ face powder but more subtle than using highlighter all over your face – so you won’t look shiny. It’s my new staple makeup must-have.

You don’t wear setting powder? Try mixing it in a tiny bit with your foundation and get instant glass-like skin. To up your glow game, you can add a little highlighter to your cheekbones – but honestly, just dip your brush into the excess powder that sits in the lid, because this really is so intense!

At $14.99, this is definitely on the more expensive side for a drugstore highlighter, but as it’s so powerful, you won’t be hitting pan on this for a very long time. Are you guys going to try this out? Let me know in the comments below.
