To be honest, it wasn’t that hard to go without salon mani-pedis, haircuts, and beauty supply runs when stay-at-home orders became the new “normal.” After those first few weeks, I was more concerned with remembering to wash my face and keep my stay-at-home routine fresh. So much has changed since then, including my desire for a never-ending mountain of products to try, but one thing that hasn’t is my obsession with Target. It’s been a long time since I stepped inside a store, but all of the best Target beauty products to launch this year have me more than ready for a reunion with my beloved go-to for randomly necessary errands.

When considering the breadth of drugstore beauty options out there, Target aisles have always impressed me most. Generally speaking, I know what I’m getting when I walk into other stores and while I find some comfort in that, I also get bored. Like real bored. On the other hand, I almost always discover a new brand every time I walk into Target. The haircare section is especially gratifying because it includes a huge selection of Black-owned brands I didn’t even know existed (like The Doux). And then there are the oldie but goodies just a few shelves away and brand new collections from seasoned brands to peruse, too. Long story short—this is why my Target runs are never just a couple of minutes.

And if this year’s best beauty products are any indication, my post-quarantine trip will probably be a day-long affair. With that being said, here’s just a fraction of the best hair, skin, and makeup launches to hit Target shelves this year.
