Wait...You Can Buy Gucci Perfume at Walmart? Yes, and These 12 Other Beauty Brands

We were just as surprised as you are when we noticed the luxury beauty brand being sold at everyone’s favorite down-home store. So immediately after adding to cart, we went on the hunt to see what other cool brands were lurking on the dot com. Behold, that very Gucci perfume, plus 12 other beauty favorites we can’t wait to get our hands on (for less, no doubt).

1. Gucci Beauty

Does seeing a pretty little bottle of luxe perfume on your vanity make you feel fancy? If so, you’ve come to the right place—the place where you can buy Gucci perfume at almost half the normal retail price. Who knew? 

2. Klorane

French pharmacies are what beauty dreams are made of. Luckily, you don’t have to look any farther than Walmart to get a taste of the haute life. If you haven’t tried it yet, start with their award-winning dry shampoo with oat milk that leaves even sensitive scalps feeling soft and refreshed. 

3. Weleda Skin Food

Julia Roberts has admitted to using every last drop in this certified-natural tube, which we can’t blame her for: It’s hydrating, never greasy, and you can use it everywhere from your nose to your toes. Plus, empty packaging is recyclable through the brand’s TerraCycle program.

4. Dr. Brandt Skincare

This dermatologist created skin-care line is best known for its anti-aging products with a clinical edge. If you’re into that sort of thing, chances are you’ve heard of (or tried) Pores No More, one of the brand’s best selling product lines. 

5. Julep

From cream blush sticks to konjac sponges to pretty polish sets, Julep is a go-to with a loyal following. Snag this bundle of 5-free vegan nail polishes (valued at $168, btw) and find out why.

6. Laura Geller New York

While the brand has a slew of quality makeup products, it’s the Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator pressed highlighter that keeps dewy beauty lovers coming back for more.

7. Avène

We’re always looking to the French to find beauty inspiration and this brand is one trade secret we adopted long ago. A fan favorite product? The Thermal Spring Water, which is meant for misting parched, sensitive skin anytime it needs a soothing pick-me-up. Don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it.

8. Japonesque

Makeup artists love this J-beauty brand, especially the brushes which are designed specifically for trending techniques. Take this eyeshadow brush set—it includes four different styles of brushes perfect for blending, lining and applying shadow for a multitude of looks.

9. Atelier Cologne

Started by a couple who share a love of scent with character, these Parisian fragrances are all unisex, created with a citrusy base and designed with a specific memory or moment in mind.

10. Cosrx

These pimple patches are arguably what started the craze and they’re still regarded as one of the best options out there. The K-beauty brand also has cleansers, creams, overnight masks and BHA solutions—all at super affordable prices—so you bring home an entire arsenal of options to zap those zits.

11. Derma E

The only thing better than a clean, ethical beauty brand is one that delivers on its promises. Derma E is case in point—they’re cruelty free, natural and vegan, and their Vitamin C Intense Night Cream in particular is praised among the dry, sensitive skin set.

12. Juliette Has A Gun

Among other highly regarded scents that rival many big-name perfumes, this brand is especially famous for creating the clean, hypoallergenic fragrance called “Not a Perfume” that’s ideal for people who normally can’t wear, well, perfume.

13. Rene Furterer

This Parisian hair-care brand believes that healthy hair comes from a healthy scalp, and all of their products are rooted in a plant-based philosophy. The leave-in volumizing conditioning spray is a professional hairstylist favorite.
