Here is a list of a few of my favorite products that won't leave you (too) broke:
1. e.l.f Essential Shimmering Facial Whip in Lilac Petal ($1). I lovee this great, inexpensive, and multipurpose alternative to Benefit Cosmetics High Beam ($26). Dab a little on the inner corners of your eyes, or on your cheekbones for a dewy glow.
2. Burt's Bees Lip Balm Tube ($3). If you haven't already tried Burt's Bees you are missing out. I could not live without this miracle chapstick.
3. My hands are always dry! Without taking L'occitane Lavande hand cream ($10, 1 oz) with me everywhere, I would be lost. So, so lost.
4. Alba Botanica Hawaiian Shampoo & Conditioners in Plumeria ($9.95). I have a tendency to succumb to hair cleansers that smell amazing. Thankfully though, Alba Botanica also makes an excellent product that is light weight enough to use everyday. Whenever one of my very best friends visits me for a weekend she always picks the Alba in my shower to wash her hair with, and one of the last times I went to the salon, my stylist even asked what the brand was because it smelled so good.
5. Not Your Mother's: Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray ($5.99). Perfect for lazy hair days when you've towel dried but your waves aren't exactly what you were hoping. A quick spritz and you're off to the races looking "beachy"-keen!
6. NYX cosmetics Super Skinny Marker ($8.99). My favorite alternative to MAC's Penultimate liner ($18.50), and half the cost!
7. TRESemmé split remedy serum ($4.99). I use this product religiously. I am talking about after every single shower once I realized the amazingness of it. Literally mends ends within the first couple of uses. I had my hair ombréd several times with bleach, and you wouldn't even know it because of this stuff.
8. Travel size Philosophy Purity Cleanser ($10). I'm cheating a little bit putting this one on here, but I have indulged in this smaller size when I'm on a tighter budget. I simply cannot resist the powerful cleansing action of Purity. Leaves you clean and soft and removes unwanted makeup residue.
9. Neutrogena oil-free eye makeup remover ($6.99). Just as good as anything you can get from a higher end company at a quarter to half the cost. Old faithful. If I had my way I would buy Lancome's Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover, but alas it is 28$, and sometimes out of my league.
10. L'Oreal Voluminous Power Volume Collagen Mascara ($8.99). I have tried what seems like one million mascaras. This one is (so far) my favorite. Great length and volume and I love the wand. Being part Japanese I have very short eyelashes, so this definitely helps!
What are some of your favorite products under $10?

Siobhan! I love your blog! These look like great finds, the makeup remover and burts bees are probably the only things I own. But my hands are always dry too, so I'm going to have to try finding that hand cream.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jordan! I'm so excited to finally have started a blog! L'occotaine has a store at Valley Fair and they sell the hand cream there! It is SO worth it!
DeleteThese are great finds! For some things I didnt even know that they were less than $10
ReplyDeleteKate! I know right! You can find some pretty good bargains when you're looking :]
