ATHFLOW CAPSULE WARDROBE

It finally has a name… Athflow.

I don’t need to explain all the ways that style has dramatically reinvented itself over the past year. Many trends that style watchers forecasted for 2020 simply never panned out. Or did they?

In Spring 2020, we lost plenty of things that once defined our daily lives. We mourned the losses of things we used to take for granted. However the sudden needlessness of “hard pants” wasn’t one of them. To the contrary, many people found the sudden proliferation of elastic waistbands incredibly freeing and vowed that they would never wear real pants, ever again.

And so, Athflow was born.

drugstore lipglosses and lipliners

Lipgloss and lipliner: two lip products that often get lost in the shuffle when we’re off adulting with our favorite lipsticks.

Along with eyeliner, lipgloss was one of the first makeup products I ever wore. For a while there, I owned way too many for a middle schooler. But then I discovered lipgloss’ grown up cousin, lipstick. I pretty much hurled my entire lipgloss collection out of my bedroom window because I was a grown up now. I didn’t touch a lipgloss for years after that.

Now that I have returned to reality from my “I’m a grown up now” faze, I have realized that lipgloss is not children’s makeup, but is actually a valuable part of my makeup collection. And as for lipliner, that stuff was never on my radar. I thought of it as a useless step that only weirdos who wanted cartoon character lips bothered with. Clearly I have changed my mind.

These are my top picks for the best lipglosses and lipliners at the drugstore this year!

drugstore eyebrow products

Perhaps you have a holy grail eyebrow product. Perhaps this product contains 0.003 oz worth of pencil and cost $21. I’m not naming names.

We all know that “eyebrows frame your face,” and that we should apparently spare no expense when it comes to grooming them. But there has to be a more economical way.

After that-brand-that-shall-not-be-named suddenly made everyone obsess over their eyebrows, drugstore eyebrow products started popping up everywhere. And they were… not great. It took a while for drugstore brands to hit their stride, but now there is a good selection of quality eyebrow products for much less money than the godmother of eyebrows is asking for.

These are my top picks from the drugstore to keep your eyebrows looking in tip-top-shape!
