Who says looking fabulous has to cost an arm and a leg? Here’s 10 products under $12…..
Microfiber Brush
Cut down dry time with this Goody QuikStyle Paddle Brush with absorbent microfiber bristles. The super-absorbent microfiber bristles remove 30% of water as you blow dry or brush your hair. It’s like a towel and brush in one! And it helps keep blow-dryer damage to your hair to a minimum with less heat time.
All-in-One Nail Polish
A base coat, strengthener, growth treatment, color and top coat all in one. I love this Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure polish, which comes in over 20 colors. Saves time and money and provides long wear, shine and nourishing nail care. It’s also toluene, DBP, and formaldehyde free.
Eyebrow Gel
Tame brows and add natural-looking pigment that works with all hair colors. This Sonia Kashuk Tinted Brow Gel comes with a double-ended 3-in-1 brush and contains marine botanicals known to stimulate growth over time.
Duo Blush/Bronzer
Two products in one, which saves space and money. This Flower Ready Set Glow! Blush/Bronzer Duo adds sheer color with the blush side and contours with the bronzer side. Perfect for all skin types and oil-free. (This is part of Drew Barrymore’s new Flower cosmetics available exclusively at Wal-Mart.
False Eyelashes
False eyelashes are a fun way to add drama. These e.l.f. Dramatic Lashes are a super cheap way to practice putting them on if you haven’t used them before and if you’re a pro, well, these are a great bargain. For me, one of the hardest things about putting false lashes on is trying to trim them (before applying). An easy tip that saves money and gives you a more natural look – snip a strip in half and glue the shortened pieces to the outer corner of each eye. Since the edge of the lash is naturally more lush, this looks more authentic than a uniform fringe anyway.
Eyelash Adhesive
My other problem with false eyelashes? The white glue that no matter how careful I am, gets on my lashes and looks crusty. The fix? Dark-toned adhesive that looks like liquid eyeliner when it dries (for those of us who aren’t pros at this!)
Eye Shadow
These L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Eye Shadow Quads come in modern, trendy colors, from neutral beige and luminous color to intensely smokey. Each compact creates 15 different eye looks. This blends easily, has a silky textures and applies smoothly. Lots of colors to choose from.
Moroccan Argan Oil
Moroccan argan oil moisturizes hair, reduces frizz, increases shine, is full of vitamins like E, F and phenols and provides UV ray protection. Suave offers all these benefits in their Suave Professionals Moroccan Infusion Shine shampoo and conditioner and I love that it also comes in the color protection line.
Facial Wipes
Refresh and clean your skin fast! Simple Radiance Cleansing Facial Wipes contains the perfect blend of gentle cleansers and mango extract to cleanse and remove impurities with no greasy residue. These are non-drying, alcohol and oil free, and perfect for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
