Have you ever checked out the beauty aisle at Trader Joe’s? We’re here to tell you that next time you’re running in for groceries, take a spin!
We’ve tried many of the T.J. offerings, and here are our faves — many of them dupes for pricey products.
Another favorite: Trader Joe’s $4.99 ultra-moisturizing hand cream — comparable to the $34 product from L’Occitane, though without the lovely scents (which, frankly, is why most people buy the line right?)
Love Drunk Elephant’s Pekee Bar ($28)? We have one languishing in our shower right now.
Now all we use is Trader Joe’s Oatmeal and Honey Soap. It doesn’t dry out your skin and has a subtle scent, plus it’s only two bucks for two bars!
Instead of waiting for a sale on Olaplex ($32), the gold standard for moisturizing hair, we swapped out
TJ’s $5.99 leave-in conditioner $5.99 hair oil, which give the same results — shiny hair with no fly-aways.
Another beauty find is the T.J. lip mask (we like the vanilla), which is a near-perfect dupe for the popular $24 Laneige one and contains hydration heavy-hitters like shea butter, coconut oil, and vitamin E. Your lips will thank you (as will your wallet.)
Everyone needs a good toner, one that hydrates and refreshes, especially in the sweaty summer months.
We were devoted fans of the Mario Badescu Witch Hazel and Rosewater ($15) until we discovered Trader Joe’s Rose Water Facial Toner ($3.99), which is formulated with real Damask rose water & rose oil (to add moisture), witch hazel (to balance and tone), and soapbark extract (to soften and condition).
Stop and smell the roses indeed.
Let us know if you have discovered a favorite T.J. beauty find.
