Shopping for beauty products is one of our favorite pastimes. From favorite spots like Sephora, Ulta, Nordstrom and even Target (hello, Beautycounter!), we’ve dialed it down to the best beauty stores to shop. And with Old Navy making headlines with its new private label Kindred Goods sold in store only (sorry!), chock-full of affordable body and haircare products, we thought it was only fitting to divulge other awesome beauty products found in unexpected retail stores.
Score prestigious items from Orlando Pita, Jenna Hipp and more at Costco (yes, Costco!), stock up on wallet-friendly beauty at H&M and Forever 21 and pick up international favorites at ASOS. We like to call it multitasking as you can shop for clothes or household items and beauty simultaneously. Check out our current favorite products of the moment and be sure to add these retailers to your bookmarks list ASAP.
Awesome Beauty Products Found in Unexpected Places

H&M
H&M may be known for its wallet-friendly trendy clothing, but we also love shopping for beauty there. Just like the clothing, it's also super affordable. We stock up on this cooling and hydrating mask. It's made of organic aloe vera, shea butter, beeswax and essential oils and will leave your skin feeling super refreshed.

H&M
Another favorite is this clarifying body scrub, which is crafted with apricot seed and green tea. It's a great product to add in for winter as it gently exfoliates and gets rid of dead skin.

& Other Stories
If you haven't taken note of & Other Stories' gorgeous body care range, you're missing out. In addition to chic packaging, the products are all amazing. While it's hard to narrow down a favorite, this body oil, which smells like peach, flowers and plum, is a must. It will keep your skin looking gorgeous and glowing and also acts as a light, subtle fragrance.

This Havana Blues Body Wash is also amazing. It's a gorgeous accent for any shower and also smells heavenly — think dry tobacco leaves, jasmine and lemon. You'll be addicted after just one use!

Costco
Costco is a great place to stock up on items in bulk — and also prestigious beauty brands. Yep, that's right. The store currently has a whole section of Beauty's Most Wanted items from the cream of the crop of the beauty world. We'll start with Kristofer Buckle's dual-ended lip pencil that we just can't get enough of. Think super pigmented, but with a satin-like finish. They're also chock-full of good ingredients, like shea butter, vitamin B5 and vitamin E, in order to keep your lips nourished.

Another staple is Orlando Pita's conditioning spray, which will keep your hair hydrated and repaired. After washing your hair, simply spray onto your locks and let it work its magic.

Jenna Hipp's products are also out of this world. Our nails would be wrecked if it weren't for her hydrating hand cream. It's crafted with aloe vera, shea butter and green tea and will leave your hands feeling super smooth and hydrated.

Grab a few of these Pure Smile sheet masks with strawberry milk, vitamin E, collagen, hyaluronic acid and arbutin. At $1.90 a pop, you can pamper yourself every single day without breaking the bank.

Love Buffy the Vampire Slayer as much as we do? Then you'll probably find it hard to checkout without one of these awesome gel eye masks. Put it in the fridge for a half-hour and whip it out when you need to depuff.
