This One Retailer Is Filled With Summer Staples and Beauty Essentials Under $50

Going to Walmart is always a fun little excursion. There's something about the sheer scale of it—the thousands of products, the maze of aisles, and the thrill of an affordable haul. In the suburbs, it practically an activity in and of itself. The first time I went as a middle schooler is etched in my memory—both thrilling and overwhelming. I wanted everything: lip gloss, shampoo, hair masks, hair clips, headbands—too many things to name.

These days, though, Walmart's appeal goes beyond childhood nostalgia. If you haven't shopped there recently, you might be surprised to know that they have a whole section devoted to premium beauty now. There's La Roche Posay, Bioderma, and EltaMD—Devon Lee Carlson even recently posted about getting cute nail stickers from there. Beyond beauty, there's a ton of warm-weather basics for summer.

Here are some highlights to get you started—all under $50.
