Budget Beauty Finds
14
items I love beauty products & am constantly trying new budget-friendly ones. Here’s some that have passed my test & I still use them today.
I love that this is gradual & something I can actually keep up with. I just cannot stay consistent with mousse tabs, I’ve tried for years.
Tanologist Firming Gradual Tan Lotion - Medium/Dark - 8.45 fl oz
I set my whole face with this in the lightest shade. I feel like it holds everything in without making it cakey.
e.l.f. Halo Glow Loose Setting Powder - Light Pink - 0.24oz
When I switched to this is received so many compliments from friends, coworkers & my husband multiple times. I love it because it gives me a nearly full coverage with a dewy finish.
Maybelline Super Stay 24HR Skin Tint Foundation Serum with Vitamin C - 112 - 1 fl oz
I love the peptides in this because I have paper thin lips & I’ve gotten a syringe but I’m too scared to get more. These flavors are so good & the seasonal ones get me every time.. like the sugar cookie was to die for at Christmas.
Vitamasques Lip Mask - Creme Brulee - 0.33 fl oz
My favorite concealer. It’s full coverage & lasts all day. I also love that I can get a very light shade to help add definition to my face.
e.l.f. Hydrating Camo Concealer - Medium Neutral - 0.203 fl oz
This is the best for tight lining your eyes. It doesn’t flake and lasts all day.
NYX Professional Makeup Vivid Rich Mechanical Eye Pencil - 15 Smokin Topaz - 0.05oz
I’ve used this for years since it came out as a dupe for Nars. I recently tried berry amore & while it’s good I’m coming back to this color.
Milani Baked Blush - Luminoso
I love the color of this one as a base then I top with the luminoso powder for an all day wear.
e.l.f. Halo Glow Blush Beauty Wand - Rose You Slay - 0.33 fl oz
This one isn’t fully “budget” but it’s the best I’ve found. It’s less expensive than other options, that’s how I justify it to myself anyway.
Black Tartelette Tubing Mascara - Tarte | Ulta Beauty
I can’t find a single pack so I’m uploading this to show you the product. This is my favorite basic shadow palette. It has all of the colors you need for basic everyday shadow along with the glitter when working on a glam look.
(2 pack) e.l.f. Bite Size Eyeshadow Palette, Cream & Sugar
Clearly I’m an ELF fan. This one doesn’t dry my lips out & it’s great for a lunchtime refresh because it’s an all in one - I use it to line then fill in for color too and the gloss is built in.
e.l.f. Glossy Lip Stain, Berry Queen, 0.1 fl oz
My favorite lip stain. I use this one in the morning when I’m doing my make up in the mornings & have more time to add gloss on top.
COVERGIRL Outlast Lipstain, 10 Sugey Girl, Pink, 0.05 fl oz
I love this one too but also couldn’t find the single one to link.
(2 pack) Maybelline Lifter Gloss Lip Gloss Makeup with Hyaluronic Acid, Heat
I prefer the triangle shaped brow pens because I feel like they’re more forgiving
Wet n Wild Ultimate Brow Retractable Pencil - Medium Brown - 0.007oz
